Father Winter
They lost two children in infancy, and six were living at the time of Mr. Winter's death. Five lived to lay their mother in the grave. Three have since passed away, leaving two still living in 1885.
Of these children, the length of this paper forbids but a brief mention, as follows: Eleazar Conant (Elly in the foregoing, ) was born in Middlebury, Vermont, August 3, 1802, He did not remain long at Beechwood, but
determined to have an education, and immediately after the war returned to his grandfather Conant, and graduated from Middlebury College at the age of seventeen. He studied medicine and in 1824 commenced practice with his uncle, Dr. Conant, at Maumee, Ohio. But it appears that he was not pleased with the practice, as we soon find him in partnership with General John E. Hunt in a store of general merchandise.
