  • Notes 
    • According to John H Winder:
      «u»«b»Carl Elmer Winders «/u»«/b» was born in Oelwein (Fayette County), Iowa on 28 January 1897 and lived there until his mother moved him and his sister Eva to Zearing, in Story County, where they lived with his maternal grandmother. He married «u»Gladys Ethel Marshall «/u» (1898-1977) in Ames, Iowa on 18 December 1916. Shortly thereafter they moved to Des Moines, where Carl eventually came to work for the school district as a painter. Their presence in Des Moines is reflected in the City Directory through 1944; in the 1945 edition of the City Directory, Carl is still listed as 'painter', but his wife is now 'Florence M.', and that continues through 1959. At some point Carl and (presumably his second) wife «u»Florence M «/u». moved to Cass Lake, Minnesota, where he is buried under a stone that he shares with "Florence May Winders" (1907-1967). Carl died on 10 October 1972 in Cass Lake, while his first wife, Gladys, died on 27 April 1977 in Des Moines. [5]
