Note:
The Dallas City Directory shows Harry living in Dallas from 1904
- 1920+ working at various jobs. In 1913 he and Jesse W.
Winders (his brother) owned and operated Winders Brothers
Grocery.
The Dallas City Directory shows Thomas living in Dallas in 1906
- 1909 and in 1913.
When both parents died so soon in Mineral Wells, the eldest sons took off to "seek their fortunes" and see the world. Harry chose Dallas, the big, wicked city even then. The Directory shows his living in Dallas until 1920 which was his last census in Texas. Harry preferred the grocery store to the construction trades and did well. In 1913 he and brother Jesse W Winders owned and operated Winders Brothers Grocery. The brothers did not do well tegether as business partners. Harry eventually bought Jesse out and Jesse left for the great outdoors. After several years, Harry sold out, making a profit. In 1920 Harry sold everything and moved to California where he purchased an apartment complex in Los Angeles or around there. He had only one child, Mary, who was called "Dutchess" all her life. As a fact, my mother did not know her name, only "Dutchess". Harry did well as far as I know and never left California. Dutchess married Arthur Swor who was supposed to be an artist of some repute of scenes of the south west. [2]
