  	OLD STAGEDRIVER IS DEAD John WInders Among Last Survivors of Historic Era In the death of John WInders at the home of his son, Charles Winders, 50 Union avenue North, Friday night, there passed away one of the oldest survivors of the stage-coach era of the Pacific Coast, the strenuous days before the railroads superceded the stage coach. Winders was 83 years old. He emigrated to California in 1849. He became a driver on the stage lines in California, and across the continent at a time when any trip might mean death from Indians or road agents. His life was filled with adventures. Coming to Oregon, he drove on the Oregon & California stage line between Portland and Sacramento, and remained in the employ of the company until the oregon stage coach gave place to the Pullman car. He lived in Grants Pass 20 years. A year ago he came to Portland, living on a houseboat. He is survived by the following children: Charles WInders, Portland; John Winders, Grants Pass; Mrs. Kate Watt, Grants Pass, and Mrs. Eunice St. Clair. The funeral will be held today from Holman's undertaking chapel.
