Winch Family - Albert Winch - Obituary - page 12

This is one of the first items that I found regarding Albert Winch's death. I found it on line. I do not remember when nor from whom. I do know that in the summer of 2012, Brian and I went on our first family history tour. We stopped at the Martin County Historical Society. They told me that the newspapers were in the closet [no door] in the room off the hall.

I went into the closet, and started to go through the papers. I knew when Albert had died. As I was turning the pages of the papers, I could tell that they were very delicate, almost cloth like. I did see this snippet in the original paper.

It reads:

Nashville News.

- No preaching on Sunday last.

- The wind and the shorn lamb have not been in harmony lately.

-Coal and wood make a heavy bill of expense. It is time to have a rest.

-Is it possible to find a weather prophet who will predict anything good?

-The Baptist Ladies' Mission society met with Mrs. S. Bacon on Thursday the 10th.

-The Free Methodist Q.M. will be held at the school house in district 20 near Mr. Goodriche's on the 3d, 4th, 5th6th of March.

- Albert Winch died on the 10th [inst] at his residence. He leaves a widow and nine children, and many friends to mourn his loss. He had been sick several months. His widow is a daughter of Mr. Geo.
