Winters, F. W., farmer, was born in Hanover, June 11, 1840. He was one of
eight children born to Frederick W. And Christina (Hupp) Winters, the
latter of whom is still living in this state. In 1852 the family emigrated
to America, locating at Wheeling, West Virginia. Two years later they
moved to Pike county, Illinois, and afterward to McDonald county. In 1865
they again sought a new home, this time locating in Chester township, on
the farm our subject now occupies. Here the elder Winters died in 1873.
Mr. Winters was married December 16, 1873, to Fredrika Isensee, a native
of Goodhue county. They have three children: Christina H., Henry C.,
Caroline E. He is a member of Lake City Chapter, No. 12, F.A.M. In
politics, he is a republican. He now owns four hundred and forty acres of
fine land, four hundred of which is improved. He also owns a business room
in Winona.
