• Notes

  Date: Wed, 17 Mar 1999 05:38:10 -0500 From: "Bruce Hurley" Hi Ann, I have seen your post. Here is the only info. I have on these poor lost people. It got so bad in Ok. a lot of people left in the 30's. John C. Winder worked in the fields of Cal. or drove the trucks, because I have a picture of him in a large old truck fully loaded. [snip] If you find any of my poor Winders let me know ok? Tx++Bruce... John C. Winder b. 1883 ILL. Lived in Stilwell,Ok(Tulsa Area) for sure (3/8/1917), my mother was born on that date. I have the birth cert. John Winder was 34 years old and his wife was 22 years old ( Leta Ora Smith)>b. 1885 in Ark.> At this point there was a move to Calif. Nadine Alma Winder married my father Homer Hurley in 1932 in Tulare, Ok. Lindsay County Nov.28,1932 and moved her to Ohio where Dail Willis Hurley was born, eight years later I was born both in Ohio>b.Bruce Allen Hurley. I have a (photo post card) to an address at 126 South H Street Exeter,Ca. John C. Winder and Marguerite Miller>(Marguerite Winder) where still alive and came from Exeter,Ca. to Ohio to see my mother buried on May 15th. 1943 ==I need information on John C. Winder>d.? Leta Ora Smith(Winder)>d.? Marguerite*(Margaret*) Miller(Winder)>d.?? I believe there were other Winder in the family by a brother, reason is there are pictures of family's but no names!! Copies of pictures can be made in any PC format on request. I have at this time mailed for SS-5 data under the Freedom of Information Act(FOIA on three Miller's and three Winder's but will not hear back on that request for about 60 to 90 days. Bruce...bahurley@erinet.com From: Sent: Saturday, March 17, 2001 3:21 AM Hi Ann, so sorry but i had a crash of my (ME) but did save the headers of my E-mail. I think you must have been refering to John Winder??? I found the one i have been chasing for six years==i found ALL of the Winder's from (Ca.) are they the ones you where researching?? There where a total of (9) kids, boy was i surprised. Here is some info for to look at to see if we have been after the same person. John's father was (Robert Samual Winder) Born June 22,1861=Died June 11,1899 his wife was Margret Clementine Devers Born Aug.15, 1865. John Carroll Winder was born March 30, 1884 in Perry,Ill. The 1900 census put him in Exeter Ca. at age 16yr. place of birth Ill. March 1884 I have att a jpg of him with my mother's sister Margaret==she is still alive. will look for mail from you====Bruce Hurley]] From Terry Harris, Nov 2002: He never remarried after Leta died. He had said he was afraid what a stepmother might be mean to his three daughters. That's why he moved to Exeter, Ca. to live with his mother & stepfather, Rev. Woods. Leta is said to have been full blooded Choctaw. The photo of John posted is with his daughter, Margaret (AKA Margarite) Louise (Winder) Miller, my husband's grandmother. Margaret is still living, but has suffers greatly from Alzheimer's. She can no longer talk or recognize anyone. Thanks, Terry
