Notes for John Howard Winchester: [The New England Historical and Genealogical Register, 1847-1994, 1925:79:140] We was graduated at the Maine Central Institute at Pittsfield, Me., in 1885, and engaged in the insurance and real-estate business at Corinna. He is a trustee of the local academy and library and a member of the Maine Library Commission. In 1924 he retired from business and now spends his winters at St. Petersburg, Fla., where his son has become a resident. [Maine, a history, p. 284] JOHN HOWARD WINCHESTER -- Among the best known representatives of the fire insurance interests of Corinna is the citizen whose name stands at the head of this article. For many years Mr. Winchester has been active in local politics and with fraternal affairs he is extensively and influentially associated. John Howard Winchester was born April 13, 1865, in Corinna, Maine, and is a son of John and Elizabeth M. (Steward) Wincester. Mr. Winchester was a farmer, and during the civil war served as a member of the Fourth Maine Battery. The rudimentary education of John Howard Winchester was obtained in the common schools of his native town and he afterward attended, successfully, the Corinna Union Academy and the Maine Central Institute, Pittsfield, graduating from the latter in 1885. The business career of Mr. Winchester began when he entered the service of the Maine Central, and Bangor & Aroostook Railroad Company. He remained four years, and then accepted a position entirely different from the one he relinquished, but one which was peculiarly suited to his tastes and temperment. It was that of librarian of the Steward Free Library and the fact that he retained it for fifteen years proves that it was in all respects highly suitable. He has been a member of the Maine Library Commission since 1911. He is treasurer of the Corinna Manufacturing Company, organized in 1912, and now doing quite an extensive business in shirtings and suitings. Since 1912 he has been engaged in the fire insurance business in Corinna and in this occupation has achieved marked success. From his youth up Mr. Winchester has been a steadfast Republican and for several years he served faithfully and efficiently as the chairman of the Republican Town Committee. Since 1897 he has been affiliated with the Independent Order of Odd Fellows and now holds the rank of Past Noble Grand, having also served two terms as District Deputy. He is a member of the Silver Lake Encampment of Dexter. Mr. Winchester also affiliates with Parian Lodge, No. 160, Free and Accepted Masons, St. John Chapter, Dexter, Mount Moriah Council and Delay Commandery, Skowhegan. For thirty-eight years he has belonged to the Grange. Mr. Winchester married (first), September 5, 1886, at St. Albins, Maine, Sadie B., daughter of Daniel and Phoebe A. Dole, and they became the parents of two children both of whom were born in Corinna: Sidney Hodge, born July 17, 1887; and Jeannette, born April 15, 1889. Mr. Winchester married (second), January 1, 1913, at Dexter, Maine, Della M., daughter of Jacob and Lovina Bemis. John Howard Winchester has exercised his energies along various lines of endeavor and in each sphere of action he has earned success and won many warm friends. |
