It is with deep regret that the Review chronicles the death of Mr. David Winey, who passed away at Clarinda on Monday, July 28th. He was one of the pioneer residents of Crawford county, having made his home among us for over forty years. Although his death has been expected for several weeks, it came as a shock to many.

Mr. Winey had been in poor health for the past two or three years and on account of his advanced age was considerably broken down in health. For a time his children cared for him, but last spring it was thought best to take him to Clarinda to the state institution, where the facilities for caring for aged and infirm persons are better and it was there that Mr. Winey passed away.

David Winey was born on the 25th day of March, 1835, in Juniata county, Pennsylvania, and was at the time of his death over 78 years of age. He moved with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Isaac winey, to Scott county, Iowa, in 1852, where he resided until he was married to Caroline Albright at Clinton, Iowa, in February, 1862.

Mr. and Mrs. Winey came to Crawford county in the spring of 1872, locating on a farm three miles north of Deloit, where he has since resided, and where he followed farming as an occupation all the years of his long active life. He had seen all the improvements in farming machinery from the flail to the threshing machine and had taken advantage of all such improvements.

Eleven children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Winey, ten of whom live to mourn the death of their father. Those living are: Carl, Arthur, Albert, and Thomas, all living near Deloit; Mrs. A.G. Myers, Denison; Mrs. David Galland, Davidson, S.D.; Mrs. Frank Storms, Bradley, S.D.; Mrs. Charlie Scriven, Colman, S.D.; Mrs. Eugene Brogden, Deloit, and Mrs. Samuel Anderson, Deloit. Besides his children he leaves three brothers, J. Winey, of Riggs, Iowa; Samuel Winey and Lucas Winey, both residing at Mlford, Iowa, and three sisters: Mrs. Sarah Harrison, of Manilla; Mrs. C. Painter, of Loveland, Cali., and Mrs. Caroline Higgins, of Oklahoma. Thirty-eight grandchildren and three great grandchildren survive him. Mrs. Winey departed this live in 1905.

Funeral services took place at Deloit this morning at 10 o’clock, Rev. Eddy, pastor of the Methodist church at that place officiating, after which interment was made in the Deloit cemetery.
