Obituary printed in the Mount Hope Clarion in 1916
Lewis Winans was born July 13th, at Piqua, Miama Co., Ohio, and died August 25th, 1916 at Mt.Hope. He was the eighth of nine children, two brothers survive him--Henderson Winans, of Highmore, S.D., who was present at the funeral, and Stephen Winans, of Alden, Iowa.
His mother died when he was two years old, and when a boy he moved with his father to Council Hill, Ill., and later to Hazel Green, Wisconsin.
He enlisted August 1861 for three years in Co. C., Wisconsin Volunteers, and was honorably discharged at the expiration of his time of service, Sept. 1st, 1864, near Petersburg, Virginia. He always served his position with great credit to his superior officers.
July 1st 1863 he was severely wounded at the beginning of the battle of Gettysburg. A rifle ball passed through the muscle of his left arm and through his left lung. For three days and nights he lay helpless upon the battlefield. The armies charged and counter charged about him. The pangs of thirst, the agonizing cries of the dying and the noise of he battlefield were terrible to bear. At last a heavy rain fell and his thirst was quenched. Mr. Winans often thought of this, feeling that the timely rain had saved his life.
Recovering from his wounds he re-enlisted January 1, 1864, and served to the end of the war. Toward its close he accepted a position as mounted orderly under Gen. Cutter, where he faithfully discharged all his duties.
Mr. Winans was married to Adelia M. Mann, of Vinegar Hill township, Ill., Nov. 27, 1867. Three sons were born to this union, Frank M of Apple River, Ill, Jesse E of Mt. Hope, Kansas and Harvey J., Of Warren, Ill, all of who were present at the funeral.
Mr. and Mrs. Winans came to Kansas in September, 1905 and have made their home on the farm and at their residence in Mt. Hope. his patriotism was of the highest order. He loved his country and her institutions, and for her he made the greatest sacrifices possible. As a father he was kind and indulgent, and as a citizen he loved the right and the good. It is to the fearlessness and labors of men like Mr. Winans that the nation owes its greatness. In the battlefields of his country and of life, he "fought a good fight."
In addition to those already mentioned, the following were in attendance at the funeral service: The family of Jesse Winans, of Mt. Hope, Miss Hazel Winans, of Apple River, Ill., Miss Iva Winans, of Mt. Hope, Rube Winans, of Carthage, Mo. Charles Mann, of Spencer S. D. George Mann, of Sterling Ill.
