Obituary

William H. Winegar was born at Green Bay, Wis., March 19, 1848, and died Feb. 
15, 1920, at the home of his youngest daughter, Mrs. Soren Hedegar, where he 
and his wife had been spending the winter.

He was united in marriage to Rebecca L. Gibson of Baldwin on Sept. 1, 1872. To 
this union were born seven children, of whom only four survive – Mrs. Maude 
Kelton of Andrew; Mrs. Mattie Mayner of Maquoketa; Mrs. Elsie Hedegar of Lost 
Nation; Wallace Winegar of Baldwin. Left to mourn his loss, besides the 
immediate family are three grandchildren – Parker Kelton, in the navy; Claire 
McMillen and Darrel Hedegar of Lost Nation, and a host of friends, who have 
profited by his long and serviceable life in the community where he has lived.

Mr. Winegar served his country with honor during the Civil war in Company A, 
36th Illinois Infantry and since that time has lived at Baldwin. There he 
served as janitor of the High school for 10 years, and as city marshal for 5 
years. He was a good neighbor and citizen, a very earnest politician, but 
above all, a devoted father and husband. True to his family – to his neighbor, 
to his country – a worthy tribute, indeed. “Cover-me with Old Glory and let 
the “World War” boys carry me.” Among his last words were these.
