With the children of his native village he would often climb the hill back of the paternal acres to watch the ships pass out to sea, and once he was heard to shout to his little comrades that when he grew to be a man, he too would sail away.

He was In the service 11 months and while there he was prostrated with pneumonia and a heart trouble was contracted from which he never recovered. Mr.

Winchester was a carpenter by trade and followed thnt occupation until seven years ago, when his health and eyes failed to such an extent that he was not able to con tinue that business longer.
