Obituary: Rock County, Wisconsin: Clemenza WINSTON ************************************************************************ Submitted by Ruth Ann Montgomery, February 2007 © All rights reserved. http://www.usgwarchives.net/copyright.htm ************************************************************************ DIED MRS. CLEMENZA WINSTON The pale messenger that stops not at the door of the king, potentate or president, called at the residence of Richard R. Winston on Sunday afternoon, and called his wife Clemenza Buxton hence. Mrs. Winston was born in Glendale, N. Y., in 1835, married and came west to live in 1867. She was 52 years of age at the time of her death. She had been in poor health for a number of years and mingled but little in society, and only her most intimate friends knew of her long suffering years; but in her circle she was known and loved by all. On the 13th of August last she visited a lady friend, Mrs. Bent, of the neighborhood--Porter--where she had lived before moving to Evansville, the two enjoying synchronous birthrights, and always made the occasion one of pleasure to both. Mrs. Winston leaves besides her husband, a daughter, Minnie, aged 18 years, and a son, 7 years, to mourn her loss. She possessed a rare amiable and uncomplaining disposition, and under her most extreme sufferings, not a murmer or word of complaint was ever heard to escape her lips. She was buried Tuesday at 10 o'clock a.m. from her late residence. Services assisted in by Rev. F. L. Wharton, of the Methodist church, of which the deceased had been a long and faithful member.
