     The following biographical sketch was published in 1904 in A Biographical and Genealogical History of Southeastern Nebraska.

          Dr. F. W. Winter

     Dr. F. W. Winter, who is engaged in practice in Adams, Gage county, Nebraska, is one of the best known physicians of the county, and has gained the utmost confidence of the people in his skill and reliability. He has shown himself conscientious and sympathetic in his work, and whether as a man or in a professional relation he is held in high esteem and is popular with all.
     Dr. Winter was born in Wapello, Iowa, in 1852, a member of one of the pioneer families of the state. His father, William Winter, was a native of Germany, and after his emigration to this country he enlisted in the army and served in the Mexican war. For his services he received a land warrant, and with this came to Iowa and took up land. He died at the age of fifty-six in Davenport, Iowa. His wife was Mina Filgenbaum [sic], who was born, reared and educated in Germany.
     Dr. Winter graduated from the high school in Muscatine, Iowa, and was a student in the Iowa Wesleyan College. He also taught school at Garner, Hancock county. He graduate from the medical department of Iowa College at Iowa City, Iowa, in the class of 1880.
     Dr. Winter was married in 1885 to Miss Lyda P. Bennett, who was born in New York state, a daughter of James Bennett, who died in Adams, Nebraska. Dr. and Mrs. Winter have five children: Ralph Bennett, May Irene, W. Waldo, Lewis Emerson, Elzie A. Dr. Winter is a strong Republican. He is a member of the State Medical Society, and of the Nebraska Valley Medical Society, and was secretary of the former for three years. He affiliates with the Ancient Order of United Workmen, the Modern Woodmen and the Knights of Pythias, and Mrs. Winter is a member of the Eastern Star. They are members of the Methodist Episcopal church, and he holds the office of steward and takes an active part in church work.

     It should be pointed out that Dr. Winter's mother was Maria Wilhelmine Fiegenbaum (not Filgenbaum, as this sketch reports). It is true that she was born in the Province of Westphalia, Kingdom of Prussia in 1833, but she was not educated there. In 1834, she and her family emigrated to the USA and settled in eastern Missouri. She married Wilhelm Winter in 1850 at Warrenton, Warren County, Missouri; within the year the couple had removed to Louisa County, Iowa.

     The following biographical sketch was published in 1918 in the History of Gage County, Nebraska, by Hugh J. Dobbs.

     Frederick W. Winter, M.D., a representative physician at Wymore, was born September 28, 1852, and is the son of William and Wilhelmina (Fiegenbaum) Winter. William Winter was born at Lippe-Detmold, Germany, July 31, 1825, and came to the United States in 1842. His wife was born in Germany, July 27, 1833, and died March 19, 1917. After coming to America both families settled in Warren county, Missouri, where William Winter and Wilhelmina Fiegenbaum met for the first time; shortly after their marriage they moved to Iowa.
     William Winter was a soldier in the war with Mexico and was given government land in Iowa in consideration of his services. In 1857 he was ordained a minister of the German Methodist church, his first charge being at Rock Island, Illinois, and his last charge was at Davenport, Iowa, where he died February 21, 1882. Mr. and Mrs. Winter became the parents of nine children, of whom Dr. Frederick W. is the eldest. Adolph Fiegenbaum, father of Mrs. William Winter, was born in Germany, December 17, 1792, and came to the United States in 1833, settling in Missouri. Later he removed to Garner, Iowa, and there his death occurred January 7, 1877. His wife, Christina Wilhelmina, was born in Germany, in 1796, and died in Iowa, January 17, 1871.
     Dr. Frederick W. Winter was educated at Muscatine, Iowa, where he was graduated in the high school as a member of the class of 1866. He was at one time superintendent of schools at Garner, Iowa, a position he retained two years. He studied medicine in Iowa State Medical College and was graduated with the class of 1880. The same year he moved to Kansas and began the practice of medicine at Junction City, where he remained one year. In 1882 Dr. Winter came to Wymore, Nebraska, and here he has practiced his profession continuously from that year the present time.
     On October 26, 1885, Dr. Winter was united in marriage to Miss Lida P. Bennett, daughter of James Bennett, Jr. To this union were born five children, as follows, Ralph B., of Adams, this county; Mary Irene, a teacher of schools at Casper, Wyoming; Wilhelm Waldo, Elsie Amelia, at home; and Louis E., now in the United States army.
     James Bennett, Jr., father of Mrs. Winter, was born in New York state, November 26, 1840. He came to Wymore in 1882 and in 1884 was followed by his family. He was brick mason and brick manufacturer, and he followed this business after coming to Nebraska. He assisted in erecting some of the first brick buildings in the city of Wymore. Mr. Bennett married Miss Eliza Hollenbeck, who was born November 12, 1839. They were the parents of four children, two of whom are living, - Lydia, wife of Dr. Winter, of this review, and Frances B. Horham, a widow, living in Lincoln, Nebraska. Mr. Bennett died in May, 1897.
     Dr. Winter is a Republican and he was for six years a member of the Wymore school board. He is a member of the Methodist church, is a Mason and belongs to several fraternal insurance societies. He is also a member of the Nebraska State Homeopathic Medical Society and the American Institute of Homeopathy. Dr. Winter has always enjoyed a large practice and is held in very high esteem in the community in which he lives.

     Note that even within this single short account, the Dr. Winter's wife's name is spelled Lida and Lydia. It sometimes also appears as Lyda. A definitive spelling has not been found yet.


Baptism:
The baptism of "Friederick Wilhelm Winter" was recorded in the register of the German Methodist Episcopal Church at Muscatine, Iowa. Apparently the date of 16 January 1853 was recorded in the original register as the date of birth, but this contradicts the date reported in some secondary sources. Needless to say the exact dates of both the birth and baptism need to be confirmed by additional research. Also the question raised by a birth near Wapello, in Louisa County and a baptism at or near Muscatine, in Muscatine County, needs to be answered.

Frederick married Bennett, Lida P. 26 Nov 1885, Nebraska, USA. Lida (daughter of Bennett, James and Hollenbeck, Elizabeth) was born 1866, New York, USA; died 1946, Adams, Gage County, Nebraska, USA. [Group Sheet]

Adolph married Jaynes, Katherine Elma 20 May 1884, Wymore, Gage County, Nebraska, USA. Katherine (daughter of Jaynes, Henry and Jacobs, Almira) was born 7 Mar 1861, Neenah, Winnebago County, Wisconsin, USA; died 10 Jan 1916, Topeka, Shawnee County, Kansas, USA. [Group Sheet]

Degree:

Occupation:
The following is a biographical sketch of Philip Ernst Winter published in 1916 in A Standard History of Oklahoma, by Joseph B. Thoburn.

     Many of the older states of the Union have contributed to the personnel of the bar of Oklahoma, and the representative lawyer whose name initiates this review claims Illinois as the state of his nativity, passed his childhood and youth in Iowa, and came to Oklahoma from Washington, D.C., where he had served for eight years as an assistant attorney in the office of the assistant attorney-general for the department of the interior. Mr. Winter is engaged in the successful practice of his profession in Oklahoma City, where he maintains his offices at 616 Terminal Building, and he has been a resident of this city since the autumn of 1910.
     Philip Ernst Winter was born in the City of Chicago, Illinois, on the 1st of November, 1859, and is a son of Wilhelm and Wilhelmina (Fiegenbaum) Winter, both natives of Germany. In 1844, shortly before the memorable exodus of the refugees of the German revolution to America was instituted, Wilhelm Winter's parents immigrated to the United States, accompanied by all of their children except their eldest son, and the family disembarked in the City of New Orleans, whence the voyage was continued up the Mississippi River to St. Louis, and settlement was made in Warren County, Missouri. Wilhelm Winter was a young man at the time of the family immigration to America and it was soon afterward his privilege to give significant assurance of his loyalty to the land of his adoption - a country that has had much to gain from its valuable German element of citizenship, both in past and present generations. Early in 1846 Wilhelm Winter tendered his services as a soldier in the Mexican war. In the City of St. Louis he enlisted in a cavalry regiment of volunteers, and soon afterward proceeded with his command to the state of polemic activities. He was with his regiment in the command of Gen. Winfield Scott when that gallant leader entered the City of Mexico, and he took part in various engagements marking the progress of the conflict between the United States and Mexico, his service having continued until the close of the war.
     After victory had crowned the arms of the United States, Mr. Winter, a youthful veteran of the war, returned to his home in Warren County, Missouri, in which state he remained until 1852, when he immigrated to Iowa and became one of the pioneer settlers of Louisa County, where he had been granted a tract of government land in recognition of his services in the Mexican war. He vigorously instituted the reclamation of this land and continued his activities as one of the pioneer farmers of the Hawkeye State until 1856, when he severed his association with the great basic industry of agriculture and, with characteristic zeal and ability, prepared himself for the ministry of the German Methodist Episcopal Church, as a clergyman of which denomination he labored with all of consecrated devotion and fruitful results for a quarter of a century, his first charge having been Rock Island, Illinois, and his last, Davenport, Iowa. He was a man of broad intellectual ken and lofty ideals, the sincere friend of humanity, and his gracious and kindly personality drew to him the staunchest of friends and confidence and esteem of all who come within the sphere of his influence. He died at Davenport, Iowa, in 1882, and his memory shall be held in lasting honor through his effective services as a soldier of his adopted country and of the church militant.
     Mrs. Wilhelmina (Fiegenbaum) Winter proved a devoted wife and helpmeet to her husband and was ever earnest in her co-operation in and sympathy with his zealous labors in the uplifting of humanity. She was but an infant at the time of her parents' immigration from Germany to America, in 1833, and here she was reared and educated. This noble woman, now venerable in years, maintains her home at South Omaha, Nebraska, with her youngest daughter, who is principal of one of the public schools of that city.
     Philip E. Winter acquired his early education in the pioneer schools of Iowa and in pursuance of higher academic discipline he finally was matriculated in the Iowa Wesleyan University, at Mount Pleasant, in which institution he was graduated in 1878, with the degree of bachelor of arts, and from which he later received, in 1881, the degree of master of arts, the intervening period having been by him devoted to successful work as a teacher in the public schools: he taught one year in a district school in Logan County, Illinois, and two years in the grade schools at Beardstown, that state. In consonance with his ambition and well formulated plans for his future career, Mr. Winter then entered the Union College of Law in the City of Chicago, and in this institution he was graduated as a member of the class of 1883, of which Hon. William Jennings Bryan likewise was a member, and he duly received his well earned degree of bachelor of laws. Mr. Winter may consistently be designated a natural student, and is known for his high academic and professional attainments and for his keen appreciation of the best literature of general and professional order.
     On the 1st of November, 1883, Mr. Winter entered upon his professional novitiate by engaging in practice at Wymore, Gage County, Nebraska, where he built up a substantial law business and where he served three terms as city attorney. He continued to be numbered among the leading members of the bar of Gage County until April, 1891, when he entered a broader field of endeavor by removing to the City of Omaha, where his ability and insistent devotion to the work of his profession gained him a large and representative clientage. He remained a valued and popular member of the Omaha bar for ten years, and within this period served four years as deputy county attorney, besides having given effective service as a member of the board of education of the Nebraska metropolis.
     Mr. Winter continued his successful professional labors at Omaha until in August, 1900, when he was appointed as assistant to the United States attorney general for the Interior Department and removed to the national capital, where he served as a legal representative of the Department of the Interior until 1910, when he retired from his government post. In November of that year Mr. Winter came to Oklahoma and established his residence at Oklahoma City, where he has since held high vantage ground as one of the representative members of the bar of the new commonwealth and where he controls a large and important law business, in connection with which he practices in all the State and Federal courts.
     Though independent in politics and not in the least constrained by partisan lines, Mr. Winter permitted himself to be nominated as the candidate of the progressive party for the office of judge of the thirteenth judicial district of the state in the election of 1914, but he was defeated, with the other local candidates of the newly created political party. Mr. Winter is affiliated with the Masonic fraternity, as well as the Phi Delta Theta college and Phi Delta Phi law school fraternities, and while attending the law college in the City of Chicago he there served two years as a member of the fine old First Infantry Regiment of the Illinois National Guard. Both he and his wife are members of the First Methodist Episcopal Church in their home city, where their circle of friends is coincident with that of their acquaintances.
     Mr. Winter has manifested specially deep interest in and appreciation of the best traditions of the land of his forbears and especially in the lives and labors of the sterling German element that has wielded powerful influence in the furtherance of civic and material progress and prosperity in the United States. His interest has found concrete exemplification, in that for several years past he has been devoting earnest attention to the authoritative compilation of a history of the German people in the United States, a work to which he is bringing his fine intellectual powers and literary ability, so that the published edition when issued is certain to become a valuable contribution to American history.
     On June 3, 1884, was solemnized the marriage of Mr. Winter to Miss Alta S. Kauffman, of Mount Pleasant, Iowa. She is a descendant of Michael Kauffman, a Swiss Huguenot, who immigrated to America in 1707 and settled in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.
     In Oklahoma City the pleasant and hospitable home of Mr. and Mrs. Winter is at 1636 West Fortieth Street. They have four children, concerning whom brief data are given in conclusion of this article: Max Wilhelm is a special agent for the United States General Land Office, with official headquarters at Cheyenne, Wyoming; Jean Grace is a successful and popular teacher in the public schools at Perry, the judicial center of Noble County, Oklahoma; Gladys Kauffman is the wife of Harold F. Bradburn, contract agent of the Pioneer Telephone & Telegraph Company, at Oklahoma City; and Winifred Else is a student in the University of Missouri, where she is a member of the class of 1917.

Buried:
Philip was buried in Wyuka Cemetery.

Philip married Kauffman, Alta S. 3 Jun 1884, Mount Pleasant, Henry County, Iowa, USA. Alta was born Dec 1859, Iowa, USA; died 1952; was buried , Lincoln, Lancaster County, Nebraska, USA. [Group Sheet]

Occupation:

The following biographical sketch was published in 1918 in History of Wyoming.

          Judge Charles Edwin Winter.

     Judge Charles Edwin Winter is leaving the impress of his individuality upon the judicial history of the state by reason of his marked capability and his unfaltering devotion to duty. He is now serving on the bench of the sixth judicial district which comprises the three counties of Fremont, Natrona and Converse, and he makes his home in Casper.
     Iowa claims him as a native son, his birth having occurred in Muscatine, September 13, 1870, his parents being William and Wilhelmine (Fiegenbaum) Winter, both of whom were natives of Germany. They came to the United States in childhood, however, with their respective parents, who located in Missouri, where both Mr. and Mrs. Winter were reared. Their marriage was celebrated in that state and subsequently they removed to Chicago, where Mr. Winter became connected with the Methodist ministry. He afterward rode the circuit in Illinois and in Iowa in an early day. He was also a veteran of the Mexican war and throughout his entire life was actuated by a spirit of the utmost loyalty and devotion to his country. He died in Davenport in 1881 at the age of fifty-six years, his widow long surviving, her death occurring in Nebraska, March 16, 1917, when she had reached the age of eighty-three years.
     Judge Winter was reared under the parental roof, his home influences being such as led to the development of the highest standards that have guided him in all life's relations. After attending the public schools he became a student in the Iowa Wesleyan University at Mount Pleasant and also continued his studies in the Nebraska Wesleyan University at University Place, from which institution he was graduated with the class of 1892, winning the degree of Bachelor of Philosophy. He then went to Omaha, where he entered upon the study of law, and was admitted to the bar in 1895. The following year he became clerk of the county court in Omaha and occupied that position for four years, or until 1900, when he entered upon the private practice of law. Two years later, or in 1902, he removed to the new copper mining camp forty-five miles from a railroad, known as Grand Encampment, in Carbon county, Wyoming. There he entered upon law practice, in which he continued until January, 1913, when he took up his abode in Casper. During the closing days of the state legislature in 1913 the sixth judicial district of Wyoming was created and Mr. Winter was appointed to the bench by Gov. Joseph M. Carey. In the election of 1914 he was chosen by popular suffrage for the office for a six years' term, so that he is the present incumbent. He ran as an independent candidate and the republican and democratic parties placed no candidate in the field, it being a generally conceded fact that Judge Winter was the right man for the place. He had won for himself very favorable criticism in his law practice for the careful and systematic methods which he followed. He displayed remarkable powers of concentration and application and his retentive memory often excited the surprise of his professional colleagues. As an orator he also stood high, especially in the discussion of legal matters before the courts, where his comprehensive knowledge of the law was manifest, while his application of legal principles demonstrated the wide range of his professional learning. All these things indicated him to be a logical candidate for the office of district judge and his record upon the bench is identical with his record as a man and lawyer, distinguished by the utmost fidelity to duty and by a masterful grasp of every problem presented for solution.
     On the 11th of June, 1896, Judge Winter was united in marriage to Miss Augusta P. Hutchinson, of Omaha, and to them were born three sons, Stanley T., Warren H. and Franklin C. The wife and mother passed away in Casper, April 29, 1913, and on the 25th of February, 1915, Judge Winter married Miss Alice R. Maltby, of Spokane, Washington.
     Since his college days Judge Winter has taken an active interest in politics as a supporter of the republican party and has done much campaign work, making public addresses on party issues in each campaign up to 1912, when on the progressive ticket he became a candidate for congress. Since taking his place upon the bench, however, he has not been an active party worker. He was an alternate delegate to the republican convention that first nominated Taft in Chicago in 1908. In all things he is actuated by a public-spirited devotion to the general good and he is widely known as the author of the state song of Wyoming, which was adopted and published in 1905. In 1907 he published a novel of Wyoming, under the title of "Grandon of Sierra,: which is now in its sixth edition. He published his second story of Wyoming in July, 1917, under the title of "Ben Warman."
     Judge Winter is a prominent Mason, belonging to Casper Lodge, No. 15, F. & A. M., while in the Cheyenne Consistory he has attained the thirty-second degree of the Scottish Rite. He is also connected with the Korein Temple, A. A. O. N. M. S.
     In presenting the history of Judge Winter to our readers we record the life activities of one who is acknowledged to be a foremost and honored resident of the state. Gifted by nature with keen mentality, he has won for himself a notable position in judicial and literary circles. His decisions on the bench indicate strong mentality, careful analysis, a thorough knowledge of the law and an unbiased judgment. In the discharge of his multitudinous delicate duties he has shown himself to be a man of well rounded character, finely balanced in mind and of splendid attainments.
