Notes - According to John H Winder:
«u»«b»Orville J. Winders «/u»«/b» was born on 26 December 1886 in Highland Township, Tama County, Iowa and married «u»Ida N. Tvedt «/u» (1889-1963, daughter of Norwegian immigrants) on 12 Feb 1913. Orville farmed in Tama and Marshall Counties until at least 1930, but by the 1940 census he was working as a driller in a rock quarry in Gilman (Marshall Co), Iowa and in 1951 the Marshalltown (Iowa) city directory listed him as a laborer at Marshall Canning Company. (Perhaps he lost his farm as a result of the Depression?) In any case, he and Ida lived out the rest of their lives in Marshalltown (Orville died 21 September 1961, Ida died on 10 September 1963) and are both buried in Maple Hill Cemetery in Montour, Iowa.
