Winter was born in Washington County, Pennsylvania on December 26, 1836 to parents Isaac and Elizabeth Winter. Before Jacob enlisted in the Union Army, he was a carpenter and a joiner. When the Civil War broke out, Jacob enlisted in the service on October 16, 1861 at the age of twenty-three. He was first assigned to the 46th Ohio Voluntary Infantry Regimental Band, where he was a musician and served for three years (his instrument is not listed). But, the band was mustered out on August 27, 1862 at Memphis, Tennessee by order of the War Department. After the band was mustered out, Jacob was assigned to Company C of the 10th Ohio Voluntary Cavalry on November 12, 1862 at the age of twenty-six. Shortly after joining the 10th OVC, Jacob was appointed to sergeant on November 23, 1862. From there, he made his way up the ranks quickly, being appointed to 1st Sergeant on March 1, 1864, and then again to 2nd Lieutenant on June 16 of the same year. Unfortunately, Jacob only served in the 10th OVC for three years, as he was killed in the line of duty at the battle of Jonesborough in Georgia on August 20, 1864. However, the battle of Jonesborough did not start until August 31, so perhaps his death date is inaccurate. In any event, his body was discovered by his brother Winfield, who was also assigned to Company C in the 10th OVC. Jacob was found dead, with a shot through the heart. Winfield proceeded to take his brother's watch, which he kept until his death. Lieutenant Winter has a memorial headstone in Otterbein Cemetery in Westerville, Ohio. It can be found in lot number 108, grave number 2. It is a small, upright, white headstone that lies very near the vicinity of his sister and brother-in-law's headstone and state monument. However, his body is not buried in the cemetery, for when he was killed, his body was buried in the South. Bio Source; http://www.otterbein.edu/home/fac/SRHEFTHR/winter.html
