Frank Winter, an agriculturist of prominence in Madison county, resides in Norfolk precinct on section ten, township twenty-four, range one, and is one of those substantial citizens whose integrity and industry, thrift and economy have added so much to the material wealth and growth of Nebraska. Mr. Winter is a native Nebraskan, his birth occurring 18 November 1874, in Madison county. He is a son of William and Minnie (Stark) Winter, both natives of Germany, the province of Prussia being their birthplace. Our subject's father served both his native land and the land of his adoption in the strife both countries experienced at different periods; he served in the German army during the war of 1848; and served in the United States army during the civil war, enlisting in the twenty-seventh Wisconsin Infantry. In 1856, our subject's father left his native land for America, embarking at Hamburg in a sailboat, and after eleven weeks on the sea, landed in New York and they immediately started for the west, locating in Wisconsin, where they remained nine years. In 1866 the father and family started for the far west, as Nebraska and vicinity was considered at that time. They came by the usual route in those pioneer days - ox team and covered wagon - and took up a homestead in section ten, township twenty-four, range one, in Madison county, which has remained the home place to this day. On this land was built a log house, which has later been replaced by a good, substantial frame one. In the first days of residence on the prairies, Columbus and West Point were the nearest market places, and when the family were in need of flour, a trip to Sioux City had to be made, a distance of seventy-five miles. Here in their pioneer home the family experienced many hardships and bitter experiences; during the first few years' residence here, the grasshoppers devastated the region, destroying every vestige of crops and vegetation for miles around, which was very discouraging to the new settler just beginning life in a new unsettled country; many times prairie fires were fought to save lives and possessions; and as late as 1894 our subject lost the entire year's crops by the hot winds that prevailed during the severe drought. Mr. Winter was united in marriage 6 December 1900, to Miss Anna Weich, a native of Pierce county, and a daughter of Herman and Henrietta Weich. Mr. and Mrs. Winter are the parents of five children, whose names are as follows: Reuben, Walter, Lydia, Anna, and Martin. Mr. and Mrs. Winter and family enjoy the esteem and friendship of a host of friends and acquaintances, and Mr. Winter is well and favorably known in a business and social way in his community. He owns three hundred and twenty acres of fine land, on which he has good buildings and a comfortable home; he has four acres of fine orchard on his land, and is a prosperous and substantial citizen. With his family, he is a member of the German Lutheran church, and affiliates with the democratic party.
