The sudden death of George D. Winter, 81, occurred at his home
near Pipestone, Minnesota on Thursday evening, May 1, 1969.

He was born, July 12, 1888 at Merrill, Iowa. He was married to
Emma Block at Eagan, South Dakota July 5, 1917. He lived and farmed
near Pipestone all his married life. His threshing career extended
from 1905 to 1944.

After retiring from threshing he set himself the task of
building scale models of his equipment. First he built a model of a
Case 80 Steam Engine (1 inch to the foot), which occupied three
years of his spare time. When he had completed that he built a
Water Wagon to the same scale. Finally he set about to build a
model Case 36 x 58 grain Separator, to which he devoted another
three years of spare time.
