Winch Family - Samuel Winch Jr. - page 1

I found this picture on Ancestry.com some years ago. I do not have who submitted it as I hadn't realized how important it was to write down sources!

I believe that this picture is of Samuel Winch Jr., taken later in life.
As of this date, I have not been able to find his birth record - but am still looking!

Lawrence Masters Died.

  Lawrence Masters died at the county home yesterday, at the age of about 35 years. He leaves a wife and one small child.
  This is the young man who was discovered in a destitute condition at the fair ground during the county fair this fall. He had secured a concession at the ground, but was taken sick and was unable to work. Investigation revealed the fact that he and his wife were without funds and they were taken to the county home. Masters claims Winnebago, Minn., as his home and the supervisors of Adams county notified the authorities at Winnebago of conditions, and that the Minnesota county would be expected to bear the expense of caring for the family. Master grew steadily worse and died yesterday. His malady was tuberculosis.

Lawrence Masters, the young man taken to the county farm from the fair ground last week, suffering with an acute case of tuberculosis, is still very low and unable to be moved to his home state of Minnesota. The board of supervisors met Saturday to discuss his case but no action was taken other then that the Minnesota authorities were notified that they would be expected to bear the expenses in the case.

This is a copy of the 1910 census of the state of Minnesota; county of Blue Earth; Township or other Division of County Mankato Town;  Name of Incorporated Place Mankato City. These families were enumerated on the 15 day of April, 1910. The numerator was EP Rutan. This was in the Supervisor's District No. 2; Enumeration District No. 19; Sheet No. 1 B.

We are looking at Row 51; the street was Dickenson. The Barnard/Masters house number 111. [The] number of [the] dwelling house in order of visitation is 12. [The] number of [the] familly in order of visitation is 12. Row 51  

[The] name of each person whose place of abode on April 15, 1910, was in this family is column number 3.

Bernard Geo. A is listed as the head of the household. He is male and his color/race is white. On his last birthday he was 62 years old and is married. He was born in Massachusetts, as were his father and mother. He speaks English. His profession is "carpenter". He works for himself. He can read and write.He owns his house which is free of a mortgage. I am wondering if he is a veteran of the Civil war.

Mearl W. Page Dies After Dispute With Motorist

Mearl Weit page, Sr., 59, of 4638 East Madison Avenue, as sales supervisor for a local bakery company, died late yesterday after suffering a heart attack at Belmont and Cedar Avenue.

The police reported Page telephoned them to report another motorist kicked his car, damaging a door, in a dispute. Patrolmen Edward Haddad and J L. Packard said Page collapsed shortly after they arrived at the scene.

He was dead on arrival in the Fresno County General Hospital a few minutes later.

The officers reported Page's widow, Elizabeth, told them her husband had been under treatment for heart disease.

Page was born in Effing[h]am, Kan. He came to Fresno when he was a child. Later he lived in San Francisco and [S]an Jose and in 1942 [r]eturned to Fresno.

He was a member of Fresno Masonic Lodge No. 247.

Sons Survive

Funeral services will be [con]ducted by Lodge No. 247 [at] the Tinkler Mission Chapel, 10AM tomorrow. Burial [w]ill be in the Belmonst Me[m]orial Park.



"Crossing the Bar"


Sunset and evening star,
  And one clear call for me,
And may there be no moaning of the bar
   When I put out to  sea.

 But such a tide as moving seems asleep,
    Too full for sound and foam,
  When that which drew from out the 
        boundless deep
      Turns again home.

Twilight and evening bell,
  And after that the dark!
And may there be no sadness of farewell
  When I embark.

For tho' from out our bourne of time and 
       place
  The flood may bear me far,
I hope to see my Pilot face to face
   When I have crossed the bar.
                                      - Alfred Tennyson

Our Father which art in heaven,

Hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come,

Thy will be done

but deliver us from evil:

For thine is the Kingdom,

and the Power, and the Glory,
