Died in Springcreek Township

Husband: Samuel (married 26 Sept 1833, Miami Co., OH)

"On the 26th of September, 1833, Mr. Winans was joined in wedlock to Miss Phoebe Ayers (correct spelling is "Phebe Ayres"), whose birth occurred in Hamilton county, Ohio, in 1813, and who came to Miami county with her father, Benjamin H. Ayers (correct name is Bennajah Ayres), who located in Spring Creek township in 1831, taking up his abode on the farm now owned by Mrs. John Speelman. Unto Mr. and Mrs. Winans were born the following children: John C., who died October 4, 1859, at the age of twenty-three years; Darius, who died in childhood; James, who also died in early life; Drusilla; Mary C., who died at the age of seven years; and Jasen, who died November 4, 1879. The father of this family was called to his final rest February 29, 1872. He was a Republican in his political views, and was a successful farmer who left a valuable property of one hundred and forty acres. His remains were interred in the old Winans cemetery, now the Raper cemetery, in Staunton township, and in his death the community lost one of its most valued and highly respected citizens. His wife, surviving him for many years, passed away March 24, 1899, at the age of eighty-six, her death resulting from a paralytic stroke. Their only living child is Drusilla, who was born in Spring Creek township, April 8, 1843, and is the wife of William R. Gearhart. They had two children: Lenora, now the wife of Edmond Cox, of Piqua, by whom she has one daughter, Ethel; and Nettie, wife of Charles Deweese, by whom she has two sons, Wilbur G. and Frederick. During the civil war Mr. Gearhart enlisted as a private of Company K, One Hundred and Forty-seventh Ohio Infantry, on the 30th of May, 1864, and died at Fort Ethan Allen, at Washington, on the 11th of July of the same year, his death resulting from typhoid fever. His widow is now the owner of one hundred acres of land which was entered by her father from the government. She is a worthy representative of one of the old pioneer families, and is a lady of sterling worth whose many excellent qualities have gained her a large circle of friends in the community."
