2527	Longtime Yuma-area resident Richard "Dick" Winder marched to the beat of his own drum. "He liked to try new things," said Winder.s daughter, Diana Wheatcroft. "At his service, we played Frank Sinatra.s .My Way..' Born May 17, 1915, in Niagara Falls, N.Y., Winder passed away Oct. 5, 2004, in Yuma at the age of 89. Growing up, Winder moved around a lot because his father was an electrical engineer and did a lot of work setting up dams for water power. Winder majored in chemical engineering at the University of Cincinnati. He was married in 1939 to Caroline Beardslee, who passed away in 1985. After they married, he and his wife settled in San Fernando Valley and began farming, but the taxes and water prices were so high, he moved his family to the Bard Valley in 1951. There Winder grew cotton, grapes, citrus fruits and Medjool dates. Wheatcroft said her father planted seedless watermelons before anyone else. Winder built his own packing shed and hired his own pickers to be in control of his operation, rather than selling to Sunkist prior to harvest. His son Gary said Winder was the first to open a fruit stand in the area in the late 1950s and farmed organically, a rarity at the time. "He was a do-it-yourselfer, always had new ideas," Gary said. Beginning in 1972, Winder built four geodesic domes on his property with the help of his son Alan and friends and neighbors. The first and largest became a store called The Dome, which opened on March 5, 1974. The store, popular with winter visitors, would typically be open from late October to April or May. Winder sold citrus fruits, dates, candy and fresh-squeezed orange juice. Wheatcroft said her father would go to Los Angeles to buy candy such as licorice and chocolate. He also bought a machine that would grind nuts for fresh peanut butter. "He was always adding stuff on," said Winder.s son Gary. "He had a successful fruit stand for years out of the packing house (before) he decided to open The Dome." Gary said his father also had a thriving mail-order business with an active list of 10,000 customers ordering dates, fruits, nuts and candy. He recalled his father having an organ brought into The Dome as a curiosity. It stayed there about four or five years. "It took up a third of The Dome," Gary said. "That thing would blast your ears." The three smaller domes were used for packing and storage. The dates were dried on flat, wire-bottomed frames to dry before they were packed and shipped. Huge boxes of candy would be repackaged into smaller portions for sale in the store. Oranges, grapefruits, lemons and tangelos were packed into boxes 4 feet wide and 4 feet deep and then sold. Kena Taylor, Winder.s granddaughter who lived on the farm for several years as a teenager, remembers her grandfather as being very hard-working. "I always remember him just getting up and going to work.' Though he wasn.t one to express emotions, Winder had a soft spot for his daughters and granddaughters, Taylor said. "One of my favorite memories (is when) he kissed me once on the cheek." Taylor said her grandfather laughed often and couldn.t pass up a good joke. He picked up Spanish from his employees, she said, and they.d always be laughing and joking as they worked. Winder sold the farm in 1991, when he was 76, and leased five acres on the Cocopah Indian Reservation. He built a home using two Land and Sea containers facing north and south and adding large glass windows with sliding doors facing east and west. "He didn.t want to get a building permit," Gary said. "He was pretty unconventional." "In one corner, he added a kitchen, dining area and office," Wheatcroft said. "There are no walls, it.s one huge room." In 1995, Winder married Doris F. McElfresh, who passed away in 2003. The couple most recently resided together at Emerald Springs in Yuma, where Winder lived until his death. Winder is survived by four children: Alan (Frances) Winder of Phoenix, Gary (Lana) Winder of Murrietta, Calif., Diana (Ron) Wheatcroft of Del Mar, Calif., and Peggy Winder of Sacramento, Calif.; 15 grandchildren and 11 great-grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his oldest daughter, Virginia Louise, in 1963.	WINDER, Richard Gates (I25430)
2528	Lorenzo D Winder Claimed Residence in Lamoille Enlist Date Enlist Place Enlist Rank Enlist Age 29 September 1861 Priv Served Illinois Enlisted G Co. 39th Inf Reg. IL disch disability on 23 October 1862 Source: Illinois: Roster of Officers and Enlisted Men According to Robert L. Winder (Sep 2000): Lorenzo Dow Winder, born 3 November 1842 in Pennsylvania, who married Anna H. Wallace on 27 April 1869 in Shawnee County, Kansas. Anna was born in 1847 in North Carolina. At the 1870 census they were farming in Williamsport Township, Shawnee County, Kansas and had one child, Mary, four months old, born in Kansas. An affidavit filed by Polly Winder for her pension stated that Lorenzo D. Winder, her son, died in 1874. Lorenzo D. Winder is listed in the general pension index of the National Archives as having served with the 39th Illinois Volunteer Infantry during the Civil War. From: Beverly Flager To: Charles Howell Sent: Saturday, September 06, 2003 8:33 AM [snip] anyway I was checking cemetery records for McPherson county Ks. where the Eliasons "Ellison" had settlled in 1891 and found Lorenzo D. Winder died Nov.30,1871 age 32 yrs 5 months Marquette township, Riverside cemetery. What do you make of that.? From Charles Howell: Below, is what Ann Winder has on Lorenzo.. the family bible page[ which i have] says he died March 30, 1874 age 31 years, 4 mo,27 days Ellsworth Co. Kansas. [snip] It seems that it might be the person listed as Lorenzo Dow Winder might be the same person. there is only one in Ann's Index. Hundreds of boys were named after a Southern Preacher Lorenzo Dow ( google for the story) he was quite the personage. So there is a chance that there were two Winders named Lorenzo Dow. The Question now is who have you found?	WINDER, Lorenzo Dow (I1395)

2536	LYNCHING IN TODD JOHN S WINDERS HANGED IN WILDCAT HOLLOW His Body Found Suspended In the Woods A Week Ago news Not Received for Several Days A rumor that John S. Winders had been lynched by white caps, or had committed suicide, in Todd county, reached this city last Friday, but not till the next day could any reliable information be received. Winders was a tough character and such reports have been circulated about him before, which turned out to be false. This time his career has really been cut short. He was taken out of his house Friday night, the 14th insst, by unknown parties. Not until last Tuesday, four days later, was it known what had become of him, when his dead body was found hanging in the woods, the locality is in the northern portion of Todd county next to Muhlenberg, thirty miles from here and remote from news center. The district is called "Wildcat Hollow" and Winders has been a terror to the whole neighborhood. He was warned to leave on account of beating his wife and for other misdeeds and failing to go the more rigorous course of lynching him seems to have been adopted. It is not likely that the perpetrators will ever be known. A reliable party brought the news to this city Saturday and he says the people are showing no concern about the lynching, but that there is a general feeling of relief that Winders is out of the way. He was well known in the police court of this city and has done service in the work house for painting the town red and for general lawlessness when here on occasional trips. The first report, taken from the Fairview Review, was that he might have committed suicide, but the facts were as set forth above. No steps have been taken by either the Todd county or State authorities to ferret out the facts in regard to his taking off. ================== Hopkinsville Kentuckian March 1896 From his granddaughter-in-law, Leisa: We know from stories told by Samuel that his mother took him and his brother and left John S. He followed her and told her if she didnt let him have the boys he would kill them (the boys). She let them go and went on to remarry. Samuel said when he was about 9 or so he and his brother left their father and step mother and never went back, they worked on farms slept along fence post whatever to survive, he said his father was the meaniest man he had ever known. That is accurate considering the way John S. met his end!! Well that is the info I have at this time. I've also been in contact with a young man that says his grandfather was the son of John S. and Martha Kirkman, named James Harvey Winders born Dec 13, 1890. we've not been able to find hardly any info on Samuel we believe he used many first names and were told he had been married like 6 times till he married my father in laws mother.

2541	Magdalene Bixler Winders, wife of Clement Winders who worked as a bricklayer on the Ohio canals early 1800's, is buried in Columbus: Also in plot: John Pike Taylor d. 9 Dec 1879 , Rebecca Taylor 1st wife d. 1881, Mildred Taylor 2nd wife d. 1884; Dora M. Taylor daughter-in-law d. 5/20/1953; Harry B. Taylor son d. 6/29/1953. Plot is labeled: For the descendants of John Pike Taylor. Information from Greenlawn Cemetery records in Columbus, Ohio. From: Sent: Sunday, August 15, 1999 10:45 AM [snip] RE: Taylor-Winders connection. The internment of Magdalene Bixler Winders (Molly) in the Taylor plot has been driving us nuts. We cannot find any ties between the John Pike Taylor who owned the plot and the John Taylor of Licking County. John Pike Taylor's first wife, Rebecca, died in childbirth (her body was moved from the farm to the Columbus cemetary in 1881). Mildred appears with John Pike in the 1860 census; probably married about 1859. We suspect that Mildred Taylor may be the key as to why Molly is buried in the plot. Mildred did not receive any of Molly's VA property as did her living children, thus we don't think she is a child of Molly and Clement. I've looked high and low for a marriage record for Mildred and John Pike Taylor, but haven't found it. Her maiden name might be of help. Deven Lewis	BIXLER, Mary Magdalene (I2494)
