Plattsmouth Journal, Thursday, August 3, 1916 J.H. WINTERSTEEN DIES AT HOME IN FREMONT The following special from Fremont gives the account of the death in that city of James H. WINTERSTEEN, well known throughout the state as a salesman and who in his younger days was a resident of Plattsmouth and a follower of the newspaper craft in which he has been more or less active the greater part of his life. James H. Wintersteen, Nebraska traveling salesman, died at his home here this evening following a lingering illness. He was a native of Ohio, born September 4, 1856. He came to Nebraska with his parents at the age of fifteen, soon thereafter going to work for the Plattsmouth Herald, where he learned the printer�s trade. In 1885, he began traveling for W.T. Seaman of Omaha and later was with the Miller, Gibson & Richardson and other Omaha printing houses. For about twenty years he represented the State Journal company of Lincoln, about six years ago quitting the employ of the Lincoln publishing firm and entering the services of the Standard Bridge company. At the opening of the rosebud reservation, Mr. Wintersteen secured a homestead and the last three years made his home on the land he drew. An injury received while riding a horse two years ago is believed to have hastened the end. A wife, two sons, Don of Winner, S.D., and James, jr., and two daughters, Mrs. Walter Christensen and Prudence of Fremont, survive. --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
