A GOOD CITIZEN

Early Christmas morning while
the community was just beginning
to enter upon day of gladness
and cheer, the home of the Whin-
erys, 1625-6th Ave, was sadden-
ed by the death of Henry NJ.
Winery at the age of 70 years.
Mr.. Winery has been very i'll for
number of weeks so that this
passing was not unexpected, but
even then his departure leaves an
aching void in the hearts of all
his loved ones.
Mr.. Winery was the third son
of Mr.. and Mrs. James WINERY
and was born in Clinton county,
Ohio, June 7, 1851. He moved to
Iowa in 1868 and was married to
Miss Elda Kinzer in Marshall
county, October 22nd, 1874. He
had the great JOY of living to eel
ebrate their fiftieth wedding an
niversary. On this occasion his
home was filled with their many
relatives and friends who had
gathered to express their congrat-
lllations. Mr.. Winery was re-
markably well and cheerful that
evening" and everyone remarked
that he was the life of the com
pany.
The active business life of Hen
ry Winery was spent i'll Ida
Grove and Des Moines, Iowa.
while living in these communities
he was banker and was interest.
ed in a number of banking insti-
.tutions throughout northwest Iowa
All who knew him considered him
man of keenest business sagacity
and the soul of honor. To the last
week of his life he was interested
in business life and kept his ac-
counts and wrote his checks, only
giving up when his hand was un-
able to hold a pencil.
Mr.. Winery was very much in
terested in religion and religious
activities. He was a birth-right
member of the Friends church in
which organization he was an Of
ficial leader and for a period of
more than thirty years was sup
erintendent Of the Sunday School
or teacher in Bible class 1t was
the JOY of his life to lead many in
to the Christian experience. Child
ren everywhere knew him and low
ed him and were wonderfully at
tracted by his beaming counte-
nance. To have known him is
never to forget the smile which
shone out from his eyes revealing
the big heart of kindness which
he always carried within. In lat
years Mr.. and Mrs. Winery unit
ed with the Methodist church and
have lived faithful and consist
ent Christians. The local church
will miss him in the Coutts Sun
day School class of which he was
a member and the pastor will miss
that inspiring and winsome face
in the congregation. He talked
with the Lord just as friend
talks to his friend, face to face.
He was a member of the A. F. &
A. NJ. the Knights Templar and
the Shrine, keeping his Masonic
relationship in Ida Grove, Iowa.
