- According to John H Winder:
«u»«b»Robert Wilfred Winders «/u»«/b»- (1918-2005) was born (22 Jun 1918) and brought up in Maywood and attended Proviso Township High School, where he was named by the faculty as one of the outstanding school athletes in basketball in his sophomore year and graduated in 1936. He attended Knox College in Galesburg, Illinois where he played on the freshman football team and lettered in track. He married «u»Ella Jane Evans «/u» (1919- ) about 1939. She is the daughter of Volney Luverne Evans (who grew up around Emerson, Iowa) and Dorothy Josephson Evans; her father died before she was born (8 Dec 1918, she was born 15 Mar 1919), possibly of the flu epidemic of that year, although the only notice of his death, a brief item in the Spirit Lake (Iowa) Times merely said that he had passed away, without elaborating on the cause. The widowed Dorothy Evans lived with her mother, Ellen Josephson, in LaHarpe, Illinois until she married Isaac Newton Mealey (in Knox County, Illinois on 18 Aug 1920); at that point, Jane remained living with her grandmother Ellen Josephson at 413 E. Main Street in La Harpe, Illinois, as reflected the 1930 census. After World War II, Robert and Jane moved to Mills County, Iowa, where Robert managed the family farms until his retirement. Robert died 30 May 2005 at his home at the Lodge of Ashworth, a senior independent living community in West Des Moines, Iowa. [1]
