WINTON M. AULT.

    Winton M. Ault, attorney at law practicing at the Fort Collins bar, was born
in Bellaire, Ohio, January 7, 1881, his parents being Alexander and Mary E.
(Edson) Ault, natives of Ohio and of New York respectively. The father is a
miller by trade and operated a flour mill in Ohio until 1883, when he removed
westward with his family to Fort Collins, Colorado, where he again engaged in
the manufacture of flour. Later he devoted his attention to the grain trade for
many years and he also conducted a hardware store at Fort Collins for some time.
He was very successful in all that he undertook by reason of his close
application and persistent purpose. He purchased grain to a considerable extent
in Weld county and particularly in the town of Ault, which was named in his
honor. He was regarded for many years as one of the most forceful, resourceful
and capable business men of his section of the state. He is now living retired
in the enjoyment of well earned rest, making his home at No. 714 West Mountain
avenue in Fort Collins, but his wife passed away in 1894.

    Winton M. Ault was but two years of age when the family home was established
in Colorado, so that he was reared and educated in this state, being graduated
from the Fort Collins high school with the class of 1900. He afterward won the
Bachelor of Arts degree in the University of Denver as a member of the class of
1904, received the Master of Arts- degree in 1905 and completed a law course in
that institution as a member of the class of 1906. He subsequently took up land
in New Mexico which he still owns. In the fall of 1907 he opened a law office in
Fort Collins, where he has since practiced. He is now serving as deputy district
attorney, a position which he has filled since February, 1915.

    On the 29th of November, 1909, Mr. Ault was married to Miss Nelle Woodard, a
daughter of John M. Woodard, a Colorado pioneer now residing in Pueblo. Mr.
Woodard served as state fish and game commissioner under Governor Peabody and is
well known as a representative man of the west. To Mr. and Mrs. Ault have been
born two children: Mary E., born April 22, 1911; and Winton W., October 4, 1916.

    The religious faith of the family is that of the Presbyterian church and
politically Mr. Ault has always been a democrat. He is well known as a valued
and representative member of the Masonic fraternity, the Benevolent Protective
Order of Elks, the Knights of Pythias, the Woodmen of the World and of Beta
Theta Pi, a Greek letter fraternity. He is also a member of the Colorado Bar
Association and the Larimer County Bar Association and he enjoys the confidence
and trust of colleagues and contemporaries in the profession. In his practice he
holds to a high standard of professional ethics and has been an able and
conscientious minister in the temple of justice.
