Winegar, Robert D., German Flats, was born in Ilion May 27, 1869, and learned 
with his father the art of rifling gun barrels.  His father, Richard L. 
Winegar, was for thirty-three years a contractor in the Remington Armory, and 
when he left to look after interests in the south, Robert D. succeeded him, 
and is the youngest contractor in the armory.  He is a Mason, a member of the 
Knights of Birmingham, and of the Veiled Prophets and Knights of Pythias.  Mr. 
R. L. Winegar achieved fame by making the highest score in the world at 
Creedmore, shooting 223 points out of a possible 225, at 800, 900 and 1000 
yards.
