The first three children died all in the same year and no one ever talks about them except to tell the story that it was a bad winter and grandma Winder was alone on the farm when they died, and she had to bury them in the snow until the ground thawed out so they could dig the graves. I am not sure, but think they are in the Turner cemetery. We went out there once but the darn farmer that had land around it took up all the stones and knocked down the large Whetstone stone on top of some of the graves so we can't see the other headstones. Also he took up the fence and the stones and was going to pile them up when the sheriff caught him, and made him put them back. But of course he just lined them up in 2 rows and put the fence around them and when we got out there it was all over grown with wild bushes and weeds. People do some of the darndest things when they get greedy. Just wanted more land.

I am not sure why grandma was alone but grand pa hauled railroad ties to all the places around here and other towns from Portland so maybe he got stranded along the way. He did it with a team of horses and wagon. I understand that he did bury the children when the snow melted.
My dad did drink some especialy when he got mad at my mother's mom, grandma Wilson, she was always telling him how to do things around here and he would go have drink. His main vice was cards, he loved to play poker and pinocle. He also was a heavy smoker.

Dayton, Columbia County, WA, Newspaper (transcribed by Liz Carson):
Apr 1907: Francis N. Winder, a pioneer of this coast and Columbia co., died at his residence in this city Tuesday, April 16th, at 5:10 a.m. He was aged 68 years, 4 months and eighteen days. The funeral was held from the Christian Church Wednesday afternoon at 3 o'clock, Rev. J.A. Pine officiating.
Francis N. Winder was born Nov. 29, 1839 at Des Moines, Iowa [sic]. He crossed the plains in 1862, landing in Walla Walla. On February 22, 1891 he was married to Miss Mary E. Whetstone. They came to Columbia County in an early day and settled in the Whetsone country. Ten children were born to them, seven of whiom are alive. The children are: Mesdames J.F. Gemmell, Geo. W. Wood, W.M. Burks, Miss Laura E. Winder, Mesrs. W.L. Winder, F.C. Winder, and C.V. Winder, all residents of this county and city. Mr. Winder owned a small home in the city and a small farm.
Research Notes:
Although his obituary gives his birthplace as Des Moines, Iowa, this would be impossible. Eastern Iowa first opened for settlement in 1842, after Frank was born. Des Moines was not settled until some time later. His daughter Lila's obituary correctly states he was born in Coshocton Co, OH, agreeing with the several census records. Frank's brother, John Henry, resided in Des Moines.
