Notes for WILLIAM WINTER:
I have a postcard William sent to his sister, Nancy Anne Winter Stout, wishing her a happy birthday and wanting to know when she was coming to California. It was dated March 31, 1917. It was mailed in Santa Anna, California.
In a letter dated November 8, 1920, from Emma Stout to Nancy Anne Winter Stout, she mentions that Mayo (Mary "Mollie" Winter Asher's son) had gone to " visit Unce Bill Winter and Uncle is fat and well and did not look any older than he did when he was there before." She also said in the letter that Mayo had said that Tessie (Uncle Bill's daughter) had "got fat. She does the house work and the other girls work in a pimento factory. Uncle Bill has bought a nice little bungalow and that Charlie (Uncle Bill's son) was contracting for himself and doing well." No mention was made of William's wife so I am assuming she had died by this time.

Notes for WILLIAM GREEN GARRISON:
Following excerpt taken from "COUNTIES OF MORGAN, MONROE AND BROWN, INDIANA", 1884:
William G. Garrison, a native of Gregg Township, Morgan County, Indiana, was born December 25, 1840. His parents, William and Phebe (Norris) Garrison, natives of Kentucky, were married in 1840 in Morgan County, Indiana and located in Gregg Township, where they continued to live until 1848, when they removed to a farm in Jefferson Township. There in 1852, the mother died. The father is at present living in Warren County, Iowa. William G. Garrison is the eldest of five children, and was reared in Gregg and Jefferson Townships until April, 1861. He enlisted in Comp. K, 7th Indiana Volunteers under Captain Jeff K. Scott, in the three months service. His company immediately went into active service, and he took part in battles of Philippi, Cheatam Mountain, Garricks Ford, etc. He was mustered out on 8-3-1861, and in July, 1862, he re-enlisted in Co. H., 70th Indiana volunteers under Captain A.D. Canning. He served until 6-19-1865 and took part in the battles of Russellville, Resaca, Peach Tree Creek, Atlanta, Savannah, Averysboro and Bentonville. During Sherman's March to sea, he was considered an expert forager and some of his narrow escapes on various expeditions are interesting in the extreme. In March, 1862, he was married to Sarah Winter, daughter of George and Mary Winter, pioneers of Morgan County. After his return from the war, in 1866, he followed his trade as stationary engineer until July 1872, when he was severely attacked with acute rheumatism in his right leg, which made him incapable of labor. In October 1876 he was elected as Recorder of Morgan County on the Republican ticket, and four years later was re-elected to the same office, in the discharge of which duties he is at present engaged. He is a member of the G. A. R. His wife is an active and faithful member of the Christian Church. They have eight children-Orestes, Harriet E., Thomas O. (deceased), May, Luther, Dot, Annie (deceased) and Perry.
