- George WINTER was born January 12, 1827, in Suffolk, England,
and his parents were John and
- Sarah WINTER. George remained in England until 1854, then
emigrated to the United States, and first settled in Rock County,
Wisconsin. In 1855, George WINTER came to Green County, Wisconsin,
and purchased sixty acres on Section 12, Brooklyn, and eighty
acres in Rock County. This land was entered by A. TUPPER, but
Mr. WINTER purchased it of Harvey CHURCH. There was some of the
land broken, but the improvements were very meager at the time.
The place is now adorned with a fine residence and good barns.
Mr. WINTER now owns 200 acres, and his son, Alfred, owns forty
acres.
- In 1855, he was married to Elizabeth WINTER, also a native
of England. They have four children
- living: Alfred, Walter, Nellie, and Earnest. Mr. WINTER is
a member of the Methodist Episcopal church.
