VANWINKLE.

Mrs. Nancy VanWinkle, whose death at her home in Mankato we chronicled last week, was born in Charleston, Ill., Aug. 25, 1834, and was married there to James VanWinkle. He came to Minnesota to visit his brother Harrison who came just south of Austin in 1856. In 1862 he brought his family to this vicinity, living hear Austin for two years and then settling in London township adjoining the Lyle line. There he died Feb. 4, 1876.

About thirteen years ago, the widow moved to Mankato and has since had her home there. She died of congestion of the lungs after a brief illness. She united with the Baptist church in this city in April, 1865, and was a most devoted and consistent Christian woman, and was esteemed by all who knew her.

Funeral services were held in the Baptist church in Mankato Thursday afternoon and the remains were brought here Friday to be laid beside her husband in Cedar City cemetery.

Six children survive: Arick A. of Chicago, James of Mankato, Mrs. Lizzie Wilson of Mankato, Charles of Alden, Mrs. Mary Robinson of London and Herbert of Blue Earth City.
