Biography:
NELSON W. WINTERS, one of the old and honored residents of Seymour, Wisconsin, who is now living retired after a long and useful life of business activity, is a veteran of the great Civil War. Mr. Winters was born October 29, 1830, in Canada, and is a son of Henry and Eliza (Perkins) Winters, natives of Vermont, where they were married. Henry Winters went to Canada to devote his attention to lumber interests, but after some years there returned to the United States and located in Ohio, where he engaged in farming for a time and later moved to Washington county, Wisconsin, settling two and one-half miles from Hartford, where his death occurred in his sixty-sixth year, his wife having passed away at the age of fifty-three. Their children were as follows: Susan, Mary Ann, Nelson W., Henry, Clara, Joel, Calvin, Harrison, Corwin and Perry. When the Civil War broke out, this family gave the Union army five good soldiers, the father being a member of a Wisconsin regiment, Joel belonging to the Twelfth Wisconsin Volunteers, Harrison being a member of a Missouri regiment, and Perry and Nelson participating as privates in Wisconsin organizations, Perry dying in the famous Libby Prison.
Nelson W. Winters secured his education in the schools of Ohio and Wisconsin and at the age of nineteen years started out to make his own way in the world. He engaged in farming for one year and then learned the trade of tinner, which he followed for a number of years. At the time of the outbreak of the Civil War he was married and had two children, but this did not deter him from enlisting in his country's service, and he became a member of a regiment of Wisconsin Volunteers, with which he served until he secured his honorable discharge. At this time he returned to Viroqua, Vernon county, Wisconsin, where he had been in business before the war, and resumed his business activities, following the trades of metal worker and tinsmith until his retirement, when he located in Seymour, and here he has since made his home.
Mr. Winters was married (first) to Sarah Lewis, by whom he had two children: Eugene and Cora, who both now reside in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and his second marriage was to Mrs. Maggie Winters, the widow of his brother Joel, who had one child, Perry. On February 7, 1906, Mr. Winters was married a third time, his wife being Mrs. Anna Castona, the widow of Henry Castona, a native of Janesville, Wisconsin, who died at the age of forty-nine years. Mrs. Winters was a daughter of Hans and Catherine Peters, natives of Germany, where Mr. Peters died at the age of thirty-nine years. Mrs. Peters then married John Rothman, and they came to the United States with the children of Mrs. Rothman's first marriage, namely: George, John, Hans and Anna. There was also an infant who died in Germany. Mr. and Mrs. Rothman had three children: Phoebe, who is deceased; Mary, of Menasha, Winnebago county, Wisconsin; and Catherine, who married a Mr. Tage of Cicreo township, Outagamie county. Mrs. Rothman died in 1898 at the age of seventy- five years, and her husband passed away in Outagamie county.
