John Winget was born on July 15, 1862, and is a son of Joshua and Elizabeth (Reichelderfer) Winget, the latter of whom also was a member of one of the pioneer families of this county, the Reichelderfers having come here in the early days of the settlement of this region. The late Joshua Winget also was born in Duchouquet township and was a son of Reuben and Lydia Winget, who, as noted above, were among the pioneers of that township, Reuben Winget having entered from the Government his claim to a tract of land in the east half of section 5 of Duchouquet township in 1832, the year in which the old Wapakoneta Indian reservation was opened to settlement, he thus becoming one of the original settlers of that community, where he spent his last days. It was on that pioneer farm there about four miles north of Wapakoneta that Joshua Winget grew to manhood. He early became interested in the lumber industry and for years operated a saw mill in that neighborhood, in addition to his labors as a farmer, and when the oil "boom" broke out here in the late '80s he also became interested in oil production and did much to help develop the rich oil pool which attracted so much attention in that part of the county, afterwards retiring from the farm and moving to Wapakoneta, where his last days were spent.
