Word has been received here of the death of Dr. Horace Winton at his home in North Manchester. He was a brother to Henry Winton and Mrs. JG McMechan and was raised in this city where he had many friends. The North Manchester Journal says in the course of its notice: Dr. Horace Winton, one of the best known and highly respected residents of this city died at his home last Friday. He had been in feeble health for over a year past and for several weeks preceding his death he had been confined to his bed. Constantly growing weaker with but little chance of recover his death was not unexpected. Dr. Winton was born in Crawfordsville, this state, June 19, 1831 and is said to be the fourth white child born in that town. In boyhood he was the private pupil of Dr. Thomas of Hamilton, Ohio and later attended Miami University at Oxford, Ohio for a time, but completed his education at Wabash College at Crawfordsville. He moved to Wabash with his parents in 1850 and read medicine with his father, but afterwards attended Ruth Medical College, Chicago and Jefferson Medical College, Philadelphia, graduating from the latter in 1855. He entered the practice of his profession in 1856 in this city and has resided here almost continuously ever since. He was an unusually successful and skillful physician and built up a large practice which of recent years his failing health has compelled him to give up. He was married to Miss Mary Boggs Sept 3, 1857 and their union was blessed with four children – Lonnie, Ione, Will and Don – all of whom with their mother survive him. Both Dr. Winton and his wife were consistent members of the ME Church for many years. There were few men in this community more widely known, more generally respected and more universally liked than Dr. Winton. The writer desires to express the high esteem in which we have held Dr. Winton as a physician, as a man and as a citizen – kbz
