WINSTON LEE WINTERS.
    Winston Lee Winters has gained creditable standing as a civil and hydraulic
engineer and is now practicing his profession with offices in the Merchants
National Bank building at Fort Smith. He has been a resident of this place for
twenty-four years, or since 1897. His birth occurred in Charleston, Arkansas,
and he was a youth in his teens when he came to this city. Here he resumed his
education, entering the high school, from which he was graduated with the class
of 1900. He afterward pursued a course of study in the University of Arkansas
and is numbered among its alumni of 1906, receiving the degree of Bachelor of
Civil Engineering. Since entering upon this professional work he has given most
of his attention to civil and municipal engineering. In 1910 he established the
firm of Winters & Dove, Civil & Hydraulic Engineers, and conducted the business
under a partnership relation for a number of years but in 1918 he assumed entire
control and has since directed the efforts of the office. He has been engaged in
municipal engineering, including the building of water works and sewer systems,
and the contracts awarded him have been of an extensive and important character,
calling him in their execution into various sections of the state. Today as
monuments to his skill, ability and handiwork are seen the water systems of
Ashdown, Clarendon, Meno and Clarksville, Arkansas, and also of Sallisaw and
Stigler, Oklahoma. He has likewise been the builder of the sewage systems of
Siloam Springs, De Queen, Clarksville and Bentonville, Arkansas, and in the
construction of these important plants he has solved many difficult engineering
problems and has shown himself fully equal to the responsibilities thus
devolving upon him.

    Mr. Winters was united in marriage to Miss Loma Harriss of Texarkana,
Arkansas, and they are widely and favorably known in Fort Smith, where they have
many friends. Mr. Winters belongs to the American Society of Engineers, also to
the American Association of Engineers and he keeps abreast with the best
thinking men of the age in relation to all engineering problems, constantly
studying to develop his skill and efficiency, while already he has reached a
notable place in professional circles.
