  • Notes 
    • The Churchill County Eagle, 26 Jan 1911 4:1
      Mrs. Lee Winder last Thursday presented her husband with an 8 1/2 pound son, born at the residence of Harry Clinton where the mother and Aunty Winder have apartments. This makes a pair of boys for Lee who evidently intends having plenty of help in developing his fine homestead near Stillwater.

      The Fallon Eagle, 10 Aug 1929, 1:4 HAPPY COUPLE FLY LEAVING REJECTED SUITOR BEHIND
      The Ink Slinger at the EAGLE office was all excited Wednesday morning (August 7, 1929) when the linotype operator, Billy Winder and Miss Greta Mason were married. He got all of the tangles out of his long grey beard and was on deck to wish the happy couple a bon trip at Lake Tahoe.
      But alas, when all are happy someone has to be sorrowful. One rejected suitor was left in town to mourn the absence of his fair mistress. He is known as Max and the Ancient One tried to console him with a few understanding pats on the head. But to no avail, Max still has a forlorned look in his eyes and haunts the EAGLE office daily with hopes that his fair one will soon return. Or perhaps he holds vengeance against Billy Winder and is staying around the shop to give the operator a good trouncing when he returns.
      Whatever his motive is, Max, Greta's little black dog is patiently waiting at the EAGLE office and the Old Boy is trying to console him.

      The Fallon Eagle, 17 Aug 1929 5:4 BRIDE AND GROOM HAD MANY FALLON CALLERS
      Billy Winder and his bride had a number of callers in Bijou last Sunday. (Bijou is the name of a vacation area at Lake Tahoe.) Mr. and Mrs. Lee Winder, parents of the groom, his brother, Claude, his grandmother, Mrs. Jennie Winder, Tom Byer and son, Bruce, motored to the lake early in the morning, and later in the day, the party was joined by Mr. and Mrs. D.E. Williams and Mr. and Mrs. Waldo Mayfield. Nearly all of the party enjoyed a swim in the lake during the afternoon.

      Fallon Standard, 25 Mar 1931:
      Mrs. William WInder spent Friday and Saturday in Reno.
      ... William Winder, in charge of the mechanical department at the Fallon Eagle, was off duty several days last week due to an attack of flu.
