William Kindred Wininger

Springs Valley Herald 
June 10, 1937

William Kindred Wininger, son of John and Piety Wininger, was born in Martin County, Indiana September 25, 1859 and departed this life May 26, 1937 at the age of 77 years, 8 months and 1 day.
On
October 25, 1883 he was united in marriage to Mary C. Allen and to this union nine children were born, two, Homer and Zora, having gone on before. Besides the broken-hearted widow he leaves to the following children: Rosa Emmons, French Lick; Elmer Wininger, St. Francisville, Ill.; Albert Wininger, West Baden, Ind.; Jacob Wininger, Detroit, Mich.; Alta Cassidy, West Baden, Ind.; Ida Pittman, Paoli, Ind.; and Ethel Morris, Paoli, Ind.; 42 grandchildren, 3 great grandchildren; 1 half sister, Delia Carter, Mitchell, Ind.; and one half-brother, Dave Jones, Mitchell, Ind.
He led a very righteous life and had been a member of
New Antioch Church since a young man.
The chief interest of his life were his church and the welfare of his family.
He was a great lover of old time religious songs and would often sing them himself or have someone sing them to him. He had requested that one of these be sung at his funeral by one of his neighbors.
In his passing his mother has lost a loving companion and the children a dear father and there will always be a vacant place in the dear old home, but he is at last at rest and his suffering and sorrow on earth are over.
