- DEATH OF R. A. R. WINDER
The Well Known Printer Passes Away at His Home in Ashley at Noon To-day
Robert A.R. Winder, one of the best known printers in this city, died at his home in Ashley at a quarter past 12, noon, today after a short illness from typhoid pneumonia. He had been employed at the Record office in this city for more than twenty years, and was one of its oldest employees, having entered it when the Miners were at its head, though he had not worked there continuously since. During the years that followed he was employed on numerous papers, among them the Philadelphia Press, and old Wilkes-Barre Sunday Plain Dealer, the News-Dealer, the Plymouth Star and others. A few years ago when the Good Templar movement in this city was pushed with so much vigor he was an earnest worker and accomplished much good work.
Later he identified himself with the Junior O U A M, and through his enthusiastic effort many new Councils were organized. He was District Deputy of that order.
He was married eight or nine years ago to Miss Elizabeth Liggett, of Ashley, who survives him. Three weeks ago Mr Winder was taken into full membership in the Centenary Methodist Church at Ashley and those who were present on that occasion remember how earnestly he answered the questions asked by the pastor, Rev. J. B. Sweet.
Mr Winder was blessed with a pleasant disposition and he had a very large cirle of friends who will regret to hear of his death. He was a son of the late Squire Winder, of this city, who moved here from White Haven. No arrangement has yet been made for the funeral.
