IS NINETY-FIVE YEARS OF AGE
Jonathan Winnett,
One of the Oldest Men in
Washington County Celebrated
Birthday Anniversary Yesterday
Johnathan Winnett, one of the oldest residents of the county, and at
present residing with his grandson, Rollin C. Winnett, West Amity,
yesterday celebrated his 95th birthday. He was born on July 12, 1814, in
Fallowfield township, where he lived until he was 14 years of age, when
his family moved to Pigeon Creek, Somerset township. His early life was
spent in an old log cabin, and he received his education in the district
school of those times.
When he was 21 years of age he was married to Miss Bary Biddell, of Fallowfield
township, and purchased a farm of 53 acres, near Maple Creek, and erected
thereon a brick dwelling which in those days was considered a mansion.
He did not follow farming extensively, but rather the trade of a cooper,
and was kept busy. The price for making barrels was from 60 cents to
$1 each.
He was active in politics and held many township offices, and on several
occasions assisted the sheriff of the county in running down prisoners.
While living on Maple Creek he never missed a term of court and always rode
horseback to Washington, a distant of 22 miles, and returned home over
night.
After spending several years on this farm he sold it and purchased
land near Bentleyville.
There his first wife died. Children of that union were, Howard Winnett,
Mrs. Samuel Weir, Mrs. Dr. McDonough, and Finley Winnett, all now dead.
His second wife was Katherin Gamble, of Somerset township. The one son of
that marriage, Levi Winnett is dead. Rollin Winnett is his son. Selling the
Bentleyville farm he purchased land in Fallowfield township, where he
remained four years and then moved to Eighty-Four.
In politics he is a Republican and at one time was director of the poor.
He had the honor of seeing the first steamboat on the Monongahela.
He is a member of the M. E. church. He also claims the distinction
of being a cousin of General Lew Wallace, the author.
Although just five years from the century mark Mr. Winnett has enjoyed
fairly good health and yesterday received many congratulations. A few
relatives and friends tendered him a birthday party and spent the day in
a quiet social fashion.
The following descendants of Winnett were present at the celebration:
Dr. Hudson Winnett, of Lincoln, Neb., who has twice been mayor of that city;
Mr. and Mrs. Clark Winnett and daughter, of Greenfield; Clyde Winnett, Sarah
McCollum, Mr. and Mrs. James Crouch, of Centerville; Mrs. Lyda Eagye and

IN MEMORIAL
It is with sorrow we note the death of Willie, youngest child of Wm. and
Ida Wise, which occurred Nov. 21, aged 3 years. He suffered but one week
with diphtheritic croop. In spite of the physician's aid and good nurses,
the hand of death laid its grasp upon him. He has left his earthly home
and parents and gone to be with Jesus. Funeral services were conducted
by Rev. Rockwell, who spoke words of consolation to the bereaved parents.
His remains were interred in the Beulah cemetery and his young spirit took
its flight to the God who gave it.
There's a rest for little children
From sin and sorrow free,
Where every little pilgrim
Shall rest eternally.
When we see a precious blossom,
That we tendered with such care,
Rudely taken from our blossom,
How our aching hearts despair.
Round its little grave we linger,
Till the setting sun is low,
Feeling all our hopes have perished,
With a flower uncherished so.
He's resting now on Jesus' breast,
He's looking in his blessed face,
He's entered on an endless rest,
Safe in that bright celestial place.

But this they wipe out never
The memory of those happy days
When we were all together.
She left a beautiful memory
A sorrow to great to be hold
But to us who loved and lost her
Her memory will never grow old
Her death was a blow
Upon our hearts it fell
Called home without a word
Not even a sad farewell.
For as peace comes after suffering
And love a reward of pain
So after earth comes Heaven
And out of our loss "her gain"
