DEAD IN BED
----------
Peter Winterrowd Suddenly Expires At
His Hime in Jackson Township
---------
Mr. Peter Winterrowd, whose home has been near Mt. Auburn for years and years, was found dead this morning in his bed by a member of his household when he was called for breakfast. There had been no premonition of death, as "Uncle Peter," as everybody called him, retired last night in his customary health. He was born in this county in 1824 and has always lived here. He was one of the best balanced men mentally in the county and was held in the highest esteem by people of all classes. His wife died a number of years age, but he had continued to keep house and his home was ever open to his friends and neighbors. He was as honest a Republican as ever lived and the party in his death loses a true advocate. Arrangements have not been made for the funeral.Friday October 8, 1897

Word was received here last night that Mrs.
Cynthia Winterrowd died at the home of her son, Norris Winterrowd, in Indianapolis, yesterday afternoon at 2 o'clock, aged eighty-one years, seven months and eighteen days. The deceased came to Indiana from Ohio in the year 1824 and located in Shelby county. She was a sister of W. E. Bone and James L. Bone, both of whom died within the last year. Mrs. Winterrowd leaves one sister, Mrs. Prudence Winterrowd, of Washington township, this county. She was the mother of eight children, four only of whom survive her; namely, Andrew J., Norris, James W., and Mrs. Sarah Conger. The remains will be brought to this city tomorrow morning at 5 o'clock and will leave for Norristown at 7 o'clock where the funeral will be held in the M.E. church of that village. The funeral sermon will be delivered by the Rev. John Reece and the burial will be in charge of Cummins & Worland, funeral directors. Thus passes away an early pioneer and one of the most interesting relics of an age that has gone forever. Mrs. Winterrowd belonged to that sturdy class whose invincible courage and undaunted faith conquered a wilderness of savages and wild beasts. As might be expected from such a woman, she produced a numerous progeny of sons and daughters who are worthy types of the heroic traits which distinguished her in mind and body. From such women as she, vigorous in body and mind, courageous, hopeful, invincibly self-reliant, naturally came offspring who made citizens of the most valuable character during the formative period of Indiana's history. These venerable mothers in Israel, noble progenitors of vigorous race, are rapidly passing away and are nearly all gone. Happy will it be for the future of Indiana if her daughters continue to show the noble traits that so distinguish the pioneer mothers of whom Cynthia Winterrowd was such a noteworthy exemplar.Saturday, June 27, 1885
