• Notes

  Obit transcribed by Robert L. Winder (June 2000): FORMER CALEDONIA MAYOR DIED AT 82 -- Lews L. Winder Expires at Son's Home in Columbus -- Lewis L. Winder, former mayor of Caledonia and at one time employed in the circulation department of the old Marion Tribune, died of a heart ailment at 5:30 PM yesterday at the home of his son, H. G. Winder of Columbus. Mr Winder was serving as mayor of Caledonia, where he was engaged in the grocery business, when his wife, Mrs. Charlotte Minshall Winder, died in 1915. He came to Marion in 1904 from Mt. Victory where he was in the grocery business for years. For several years after coming here was employed by the Marion Tribune and for a short time he worked in the circulation department of The Star. Mr. Winder retired about 20 years ago and went to Addison, Mich. to live. Two years ago he began dividing his time between the homes of his son in Columbus and his daughter, Mrs. Herbert D. Cull of 348 Oak Street. Surviving with the son and daughter are two grandchildren, four great-grandchildren and a brother, W.C. Winder of Mt. Victory. Mr Winder was born in Mt. Victory on 9 May 1857 to Elihu Winder, a native of Pennsylvania [incorrect--RLW] and Hope Garwood Winder, a native of Hardin County [Logan County--RLW]. The funeral will be conducted Sunday at 4PM at the Merle H. Hughes funeral home on Mt. Vernon Avenue. Rev. Richard Harvey of the Christian Alliance church in Erie, PA., husband of Mr. Winder's granddaughter, will be in charge. Burial will be made in the Caledonia Cemetery. Friends may call at the funeral home after 7 tonight. According to Robert L. Winder (Spe 2000): Lewis W. Winder was born in 1857, exact date unknown, and married first to Lottie (Charlotte) Minchell on 8 October 1876 in Hardin County, Ohio. He later married Allie Haas there (Hardin County marriage records, vol. 17, p.502). In 1895 Lewis bought a lot in Mt. Victory. How long he lived there is uncertain. Information from his grandson, Rev. Paul M. Winder, indicated that Lewis and his wife (identified as Sarah by Paul) are buried in the Caledonia, Ohio Cemetery. Two rather thorough searches failed to find any grave markers in that cemetery for Lewis and Sarah. Lewis, according to his obituary, was supposed to have been the mayor of Caledonia at one time. This was confirmed by Mrs. Geneva Landis Caine, in several conversations, but the dates are unknown. On 22 July 1909, when Lewis signed papers as the administrator of his father's estate, he gave his address as 376 Pearl Street, Marion, Ohio. Lewis W. Winder was living in Addison, MI in 1931 [1]
