• Notes

  According to John H Winder: «u»«b»Walter Samuel Winders «/u»«/b» was born on 3 July 1873 in Toledo (Tama County), Iowa and attended Montour High School, Western College (Toledo, Iowa) and the Capital City Commercial College in Des Moines. He taught school and was a salesman (a Fuller brush man) before he met and married Mae E. Bates [24600] (1882-1918) in Mason City, Iowa 23 September 1903. After his marriage, he founded the Iowa Tea Company in Mason City, one of Iowa's earliest tea, coffee and china stores ("exclusive dealers in fine teas and coffees, extracts and spices, baking powder, chinaware and Japanese goods," according to the 1923 city directory.) Mae died young (age 35) on 16 January 1918 (possibly a victim of the great influenza epidemic, although I have no hard evidence that such was the case.) Walter carried on with his business and raised their two children; he died in Mason City on 20 March 1963; they are both buried in Elmwood/St. Joseph Cemetery in Mason City. [3]
