  • Notes 
    • According to John H Winder:
      «u»«b»Dora Winders «/u»«/b» (1855-1914) was born in Washington County, Maryland on 29 September 1855, moved to Ogle County, Illinois with the rest of her family in 1869/70 and married «u»Jacob Marteeny «/u» (1855-1903), a native of Somerset County, Pennsylvania, in Dixon, Illinois on 7 Feb 1878. The couple lived in Lee County (the next county south from Ogle), Illinois (in 1880 Jacob was farming there) and then moved to Freeport, where Jacob worked as a locomotive engineer (1900 census.) Jacob died 15 January 1903, and Dora eventually moved in with her daughter and son-in-law (Oscar and Anna Marteeny Schwartz), who were also living in Freeport. She died 11 July 1914. Jacob and Dora had two daughters: «u»Anna «/u» (1880-unk), who married Oscar Schwartz; and «u»Ada D. Marteeny «/u» (1884-unk), who was a milliner living with her widowed mother at 154 Liberty St in Freeport in 1905. [1]
