CAPT. JOHN R. WINDER
Capt. J.R. Winder of Fitchetts, died October 16. He was well apparently as usual and went out on a fish boat and died suddenly. He was 74 years old and had been in feeble health for some time. Mr. Winder was a member of Oriental Lodge No. 20, A.F. & A.M. and also of Mathews Lodge No. 26, I.O.O.F. and was held in high esteem by the members of both. Brother Winder was a faithful christian, a member of Central M. E. Church. A large number of people of all faiths attended his funeral. The services were conducted from home by Rev. B. E. Hudson his pastor, assisted by Rev. Z. Deshields. His body was laid to rest in the cemetery on Gwyn's Island by the side of his first wife. His second wife who was Miss Ida Hudgins survives him. He had no children. A worthy man has gone; we shall miss him. May others rise up to take his place and live as well. B.E. Hudson.
