2308. (ii.) HARRY NATHAN WINTON⁶, was born 2 July 1910 in Syracuse, Hamilton County, Kansas and 22 September 2002 in Norman Cleveland County, Oklahoma. Fifteen days after Harry was born, his family moved to LaJunta, Orteo County, Colorado and resided at 414 Smithland Ave (1911 and 1914 City Directory, La Junta, Colorado). Harry's mother Grace Read Winton died in 1917 and his father remarried in 1919. Harry's new step-mother was Minnie J. White. In 1920, Cortis and Minnie Winton were living in Cushing, Payne County, Oklahoma. Neither Harry nor his brother Alvin were living with them. Nor were they residing with their grandfather Jonah Read or uncle Arthur Read who lived in Irondale Township, Adams County, Colorado (1920 United States Federal Census, Irondale Township, Precinct 11, Adams County, Colorado, enumeration district 8, sheet 1B, 2 January 1920; Cushing, Payne County, Oklahoma, enumeration district 199, sheet 17A, 14 January 1920). By 1930, Harry lived with his father and stepmother in Cushing, Oklahoma. Harry was single in 1930, and worked as a saleman in a grocery store (1930 United States Federal Census, Cushing, Ward 3, Payne County, Oklahoma, enumeration district 60-9, sheet 3B, 3 April 1930). He married Gala J. Patterson as his first wife in circa 1932. She was born 24 March 1912 and died about a year after they were married on 2 October 1933 in Cushing, Oklahoma. Harry married again, on 4 December 1934, Ruby Anna White in Norman, Cleveland County, Oaklahoma. She was born 16 February 1912 in Fort Graham, Texas and died 29 March 2002 in Norman, Oklahoma. The couple owned Winton's Grocery in Arkansas City, Cowley County, Kansas between 1947 and 1987. Harry and Ruby are buried together in Washington Cemetery in McClain County, Oklahoma (McAllister n.d.). An obituray for Harry was printed in the Arkansas City Traveler, which is printed in Arkansas City, Kansas, on 24 September 2002. The paper announced that the funeral was scheduled for "Wednesday, Sept. 25, 2002, at the First Christian Church in Norman with Rev. David Spain officiating." In addition, "A memorial has been established for the First Christian Church of Norman or Central Christian Church of Arkansas City." Funeral arrangements were handled by the Primrose Funeral Home of Norman Oklahoma. Harry, the nephew of a Methodist minister and grandson of the trustee of a Methodist Episcopal church, had come full circle back to the denomination of his great-great-grandparents, Isaac Read, Sr. and Mary Shackleton.

Finally, Harry Winton, the grandson of Jonah Read, died in 2002, 166 years after the birth of his grandfather in 1836. Their lives over lapped for approximately 16 years. I have been told in history courses that there is an average of three generations per every hundred years. The life span of Jonah, his children and grandchildren stretched over one and two-thirds centuries of American history. A truely remarkable achievement.
