"The community feels sad over the death of Dr. Bronson for he was a gentleman and a good physician. His place will be hard to fill. He leaves a young family who have the sympathy of all. He was buried by the odd Fellow's of which he was an honored member."
From "History of Carroll County, Missouri 1881" is the following:
Dr. Winfield S. Bronson was born September 17, 1849 in Hamilton, Buckner county, Ohio. He is the son o£ George H. Bronson, a railroad contractor, who moved to St. Louis when Winfield was but six years old. Winfield was raised in St. Louis and educated in the School of the Christian Brothers, a Catholic college in St. Louis. At the age of eighteen years he accepted a position in Parker's drugstore on Broadway and Car Streets, St. Louis, and held this position for four years. In 1867 he went to Ottawa, Kansas, and lived with his uncle for two years, and then engaged in various-speculations. He went to Chicago in 1869 and read medicine with Dr. Copp and then went to the University of New York and graduated in Physic and surgery, in 1875. He soon afterward opened a drug store on Thirty second street and Tenth avenue, in New York city, and at the same time engaged in the practice of medicine. He sold out there in 1878 and after stopping in Kirkwood, Missouri, for a few months, came to Carrol County and commenced practicing medicine in Prairie township, located seven miles northwest of Norborne. He is now living in section 21, of that township, and is meeting with unusual success. He was married July 31, 1880, to Miss Margaret J. Jenkins, daughter of W. W. Jenkins, of Carroll county. Dr. Bronson and wife are both members of the M.E. church, south. He being a graduate of the best medical institutions in the United States, has before him a brilliant professional career in the county of his adoption."
Mother's name is known to be Mary.
