• Notes

  According to John H Winder: «u»«b»George Eyerly Winders «/u»«/b» was born 12 August 1863 in Funkstown, Maryland and moved with his family to Polo, Illinois and then on to Wichita, Kansas. He married Mary Margaretta Watkins (1858-1944) on 23 February 1887 (Book C, page 594, Sedgwick County marriage records) and the couple lived with her parents at least through 1895 (according to the 1895 Kansas state census). By 1900, they had moved to Ottawa, Kansas (northeast of Wichita, nearer to Kansas City), where George worked as a real estate agent. By 1905, however, Mary had returned to Wichita and was living with her parents, Theodore and Hannah Watkins and her 11-year old daughter, Florence, but without her husband George. The 1910, 1920 and 1930 census data show Mary as 'divorced', and she continued to live with her mother and daughter in Wichita. By 1940, Mary was listed as 'widowed', but in fact, George didn't die until 27 March 1941; at the time he was a resident of the Jackson County, Missouri (Kansas City) Home for the Aged and Indigent, where he had been since at least 1935. According to his death certificate, he had been a resident of the Kansas City area for 30 years and his usual occupation was 'broker.' George and Mary had one daughter, «u»«b»Florence Olivia Winders «/u»«/b» (1893-1988). [1]
