WELLINGTON LeROY WINNARD, M.D. , 
is an enterprising and leading young phy- 
sician of Warsaw, and though not far ad- 
vanced along life's journey, he has made rapid 
strides along the pathway of his profession. A 
native of Iowa, he was born in Greeley, Dela- 
ware County, on the 7th of November, 1867, and is 
a son of James P. and Rose Linda (Holden) Win- 
nard. His parents were both natives of Michigan, 
and the father followed the occupation of farming. 
The Doctor was the second child in their family. 

No event of special importance occurred during 
the childhood and youth of our subject, which 
was largely passed in his parents' home and in 
the country schools of the neighborhood. There 
he acquired his primary education, which was 
supplemented by a course of study in Lenox Col- 
lege, Iowa, from which institution he was grad- 
uated in the Class of '87. His tastes and ambi- 
tion led him to enter the medical profession, and 
to fit himself for that work he became a student 
in the Homeopathic Medical College of Chicago, 
from which he was graduated in the Class of '90, 
with forty-two fellow-students. Having received 
his diploma and the degree of M. D., he then 
came to Warsaw to enter upon his life's work, 
reaching this place on the 6th of April. Here he 
has been engaged in active practice continuously 
since. He makes a specialty of ruptures and the 
diseases of women and children. He is now as- 
sociated with Dr. Lawrence, under the firm name 
of Winnard & Lawrence, which connection is 
proving mutually pleasant and profitable. 

Dr. Winnard was married on the 18th of No- 
vember, 1891, the lady of his choice being Miss 
Laurine Ralston, a daughter of Rev. W. D. Ral- 
ston, a minister of the United Presbyterian 
Church, now located in Maroa, Ill. Both the 
Doctor and Mrs. Winnard are well known in the 
community and are held in high regard, for they 
possess many excellencies of character. He gives 
his entire time and attention to business, and the 
success which has crowned his efforts is well mer- 
ited. Socially, he is a member of the Masonic 
fraternity and the Independent Order of Odd Fel- 
lows, and in religious belief is a Methodist. He 
is a young man with good prospects of a bright 
future before him, and the industry and energy 
which are numbered among his chief character- 
istics will undoubtedly win him prosperity.
