Winter, residing on section three, township twenty-four, range one, Madison county, Nebraska, is regarded as one of the leading citizens of his locality. He has always been one of the important factors in the upbuilding of his region, aiding materially in its development and growth from its early settlement. Mr. Winter is a native of Jefferson county, Wisconsin, his birth occurring 31 October 1864; he is a son of Carl and Caroline Winter, both of whom claim Germany for their native home. Our subject's father came to Wisconsin in 1864, from Germany; they embarked in a sail boat at Hamburg and were nine weeks on the sea, and after landing in America came direct to Wisconsin state, as before stated. In 1866, with a colony, they left Wisconsin for Nebraska to take advantage of the homestead law that had been passed in 1865. Upon their arrival in the far west, as it was then known, the father took up a homestead claim in section three, township twenty-four, range one, which is the present abiding place of our subject; on this land a good log house was built which served as the family residence for ten years, when it was replaced by a substantial frame dwelling. To turn back in memory for the space of forty-four years and picture Nebraska as it was at that time, would seem quite a task to some, but our subject has heard his father relate many incidents and experiences, as well as conditions of that date and period. When Carl Winter, father of the subject of this sketch, first came to this locality, forty-four years ago, the country was nothing but a raw, unbroken prairie, with a vista of waving prairie grass for miles in any direction; the virgin soil had scarcely felt the cut of a farm implement, nor rarely felt the pressure of a white man's foot. When vegetation and crops had been planted and cared for and gave such splendid promise of a bountiful harvest, the grasshopper pest swooped down upon them and destroyed every blade of green to be seen in the country round; this was repeated three or four seasons, and our little family suffered many hardships and privations for the lack of harvest. But those early days of the western frontier have passed into history, and the great prosperous country with its wide fields of plentiful crops would scarcely be recognized as the wild, unsettled, uncultivated country of forty years ago. Mr. Winter, our subject, now owns two hundred and twelve acres of choice land, ten acres of which are given to a fine orchard and grove. This land is finely improved, and will compare favorably with any in that locality. Mr. Winter was united in marriage 11 June 1895, to Miss Ida Tiegs, a native of Nebraska. Mr. and Mrs. Winter had one child, a fine boy, Ernest by name. Mrs. Winter died in the year of 1900, deeply mourned by her husband and family and a host of loving friends and acquaintances. Mr. Winter was again married 18 June 1911. He is a member of the Lutheran church, and is a democrat. Info donated by: Find A Grave contributor Stone hunter
