Pioneer Resident Services Conducted Today at 2 P.M.

James Alexander Winkler, 87, passed away Monday, February 13. He was born 
January 20, 1869, near what is now Sandyville, W. Va. In 1878 the family, with 
eight other families of that region, migrated west by wagon train to make 
their homes in Adams county, Idaho, then a wilderness. Here Mr. 
Winkler, "Uncle Jim" as he was more familiarly known to many in the community, 
grew to manhood and lived the greater part of his life.

On March 31, 1901 he was married to Mary Ellen Morrison, also of Council, to 
which union were born two daughters, Mrs. Howard F. (Luella) Topping, of 
Berkeley, Calif. and Mrs. William B. Lowe (Fredrica) of Payette. Mr. and Mrs. 
Winkler moved from Council to Payette in 1945. Besides the widow and 
daughters, surviving the deceased is also one granddaughter, Mrs. Ellsworth 
Haas (Alma Jean Lowe) of Payette and one great granddaughter, Tonya Haas.

Mr. Winkler was an active member of the Council IOOF since 1902, until he 
moved to Payette, and was a Past Noble Grand of the Order. He likewise was 
interested in the Rebekah Order, to which he belonged for many years. During 
his life he engaged in farming and merchandising.

Services were conducted today (Thursday) at 2 p.m. at the Shaffer Memory 
Chapel with Rev. Miss Eunice Trumbo and Rev. Charles Easley officiating. 
Interment followed at Riverside Cemetery with the Payette IOOF Lodge No. 22 
conducting graveside services.
