CIVIL WAR VETERAN BURIED ON MONDAY

JAMES WINTERRINGER WHO HAD LIVED

HERE 46 YEARS DIED SATURDAY

James Frost Winterrringer who had lived almost half a century in Cedar county died at the home of his son Richard early Saturday morning at the age of 82. Three years ago he had the misfortune to break his hip bone, and since that time he has not enjoyed his former good health. He was seriously ill for about 4 weeks.

Mr. Winterringer, the son of Moses and Mary Winterringer was born in Buckeye City, Ohio on January 16, 1846. Early in his life his family moved to Cedar County, Iowa, and a few years later to Woodbury County, Iowa.

When but 17 years old he enlisted in the 7th Iowa cavalry on St. Patrick’s Day, 1863. For the two remaining years, he took an active part in the Civil War, participating in the Battle of White Stone Hill.

In 1868 he was married to Miss Clarissa M. Bush at Otoe, Iowa. In 1882 he moved his family to Cedar County, Nebraska.

Mr. Winterringer’s first home in Cedar county was a log cabin on what is now the Whitney farm south of Hartington. Later he owned one of the four arena farms southwest of town. Mr. Winterringer had lived in the county all of 46 years, having been so satisfied and happy here that, as he himself had said, he did not care to depart to live elsewhere.

For the last 22 years, he made his home with his son, Richard. Mrs. Winterringer died 5 years ago. He is survived by two sons, Richard and W. E. of St. Louis, 10 grandchildren, 8 great-grandchildren, 2 brothers Henry in Oregon and Aaron B. of Sioux City, and one sister Mrs. Eldora Corey of Los Angeles.

Funeral services were held Monday afternoon. Rev. Louis Heib and the American Legion had charge of the services at the home and at the Hartington cemetery, and Rev. Heib had charge of the Congregational church. A mixed quartet consisting of Mrs. Lester Samelson, Mrs. L. A. Miller, Phillip Robinson, and Lawrence Nelson with Mrs. Steve Morton at the organ sang "Tenting on the Old Camp Ground", "Abide With Me", and "Rock of Ages". Members of the American Legion were pall bearers.

Those here from out of town were his son W. E. Winterringer, Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Lichtey of Sioux City, and Mr. and Mrs. Laverne Fisher of Norfolk.
