Winter was born in Wisconsin on 9 December 1860, and was the fifth of eleven children in the family of William and Wilhelmina Winter, who had seven sons and four daughters. William Winter, with his wife and three children left Germany about 1852, coming to America. One son, Carl, died on the vessel coming over. Mr. Winter and family and his father, Gottfried Winter, and wife, settled in Wisconsin, following lumbering and farming. William Winter served his adopted country during the civil war, and after the close of the war returned to Wisconsin. In July, 1866, with his wife and five children and his father and mother, Mr. Winter came to Madison county with a German colony. In this colony there were forty families, and they were the original pioneer settlers of Madison county. They came overland by ox train, there being but two horse teams in the train. Mr. Winter engaged in farming and was a resident of this county until his death, 22 December 1900. His widow is still living, with her sons, Herman, Carl, and Frank, in Madison county. One son and one daughter live in Hayward, Wisconsin. The Winter family is widely and favorably known, and enjoys the esteem of many friends. Herman W. Winter, the principal subject of this sketch, was reared in Madison county from his fifth year, and lived on the farm until his twenty-first year, receiving the usual local schooling. In his twenty-first year he went into the harness shop of H. P. Freeland to learn the trade, and in November, 1881, he became a partner in the business. He is still engaged in the same business, and now has two complete and well equipped harness and saddlery stores in Norfolk, enjoying a large trade. Mr. Winter was married to Miss Matilda Zuelow, 17 March 1855. The Zuelow family came to Madison county in 1880. Mr. and Mrs. Winter have had nine children, seven of whom are living; Edmund, a teacher, is married and lives in Michigan; Linda is a teacher in the public schools in Hoskins, Nebraska; Martha, Alma, Ruth, Max, and Hertha, all at home and attending school. Mr. and Mrs. Winter and family have enjoyed good educational advantages, and are prominent socially in their community. From 1890 to 1894, Mr. Winter was a member of the city council of Norfolk, from the first ward. On 18 July 1894, he was appointment county commissioner to fill a vacancy, and in the fall of the same year was elected for three years, and reelected for two succeeding terms, serving, in all, nine years. In 1894 he was also the chief of the Norfolk fire department. In 1908 he was elected to the city council for a two-year term, and served as president of the council, and in 1910 was state treasurer of the Volunteer Fireman's Association. He is president of the German church choir, and has been a member of this choir for twenty-six years. Mr. Winter began life in a business way practically on his own resources, and had builded up a successful business, being one of Norfolk's most prominent business men.
