Sheryl, Thank you for posting the Obit for Mrs. Joseph Winner. She was my gg-grandmother. I have been unable to find the newspaper Obit for her. I am still looking for her husband Joseph F. Winner, newspaper Obit (if any) and their daughter in law---Laura Crow/e Winner wife of their oldest son Harmon Winner, my great grandfather. Laura died, I believe, in the 1890s. Found some records at St. Michaels Church Office. But Thanks for the Obit for Cecelia (Celia) Winner, happy to know that it was published. Take Care Pat (Winner) Hook
