  • Notes 
    • «b»According to John H WInder:
      «u»William R. Winders «/u»«/b» was born in Washington County, Maryland 19 Mar 1849 and came as a boy with his family to Ogle County, Illinois in 1869 or 1870. In the 1870 census he was enumerated in the household of a John and Mrs. Sullivan (along with his siblings Jacob, Alice, Samuel, Edward and Dora), where he was working as a farm hand. In 1876, he married «u»Harriett Letitia Newell «/u» (1858-1934, daughter of William and Martha J. Corbin Newell) in Ogle County, and they had two sons, «u»Charles Rowe Winders «/u» (1876-1945) and «u»Fred Newell Winders «/u» (1881-1954). In his younger years he farmed in Pine Creek township, but around the turn of the century he moved to Dixon, Illinois where he and his family lived at 741 N. Crawford Street for many years and William worked as a coal deliverer (1900 census), a laborer in a mill (1910 census) and as a flour and feed miller (1920 census). William died 17 Dec 1930 at the age of 81 in Maywood, Illinois (a Chicago suburb where his son Fred Newell Winder was living) and his wife died on 15 Jun 1934. Both are buried in Evergreen Cemetery (aka Pine Creek Christian Cemetery), Pine Creek Township, Ogle County, Illinois. [4]
