Winfred "Winch" Harvey Salisbury was born on Nov. 18, 1922, in Auburn, Iowa,
the son of Mose and Lucie (Oxenford) Salisbury. He received his education in
the Auburn school system, graduating from Auburn High School in 1941. He was
united in marriage to Elvera (Holland) on April 3, 1943, in Maryville, Mo.
Winch was employed in the livestock industry, buying and selling cattle and
horses. He was also equine manager of Fashion Farm Inc. in Meservey, Iowa.
Winch held horse auctions in Blue Earth, Minn., Bismarck, N.D., and Clear
Lake. In his career he developed many life long friendships throughout his
several years of horse buying and trading trips across the country and Canada.
His happiest years were spent in an auction barn listening to the "cry" of an
auctioneer and purchasing just the exact horse to meet his customer's equine
needs. He enjoyed watching old western movies, listening to country western
music, morning coffee with his group of friends, attending National Final
Rodeo events for the last 20 plus years in Las Vegas, Nev. and, of course,
special times spent with his grandchildren and great-granddaughter.

He was a member of Zion Lutheran Church in Clear Lake, American Quarter Horse
Association, and the North Iowa Horse Club.

Left to cherish his memory is his wife of 64 years, Elvera Salisbury of Clear
Lake; his daughter, Monica Fredericks and her husband; Dr. Michael Fredericks
of Clear Lake; two grandchildren, Michell Fredericks and her partner, Barb
Mathers, of Tucson, Az., and Marty J. Fredericks and his wife, Ann, of West
Des Moines, Iowa; great-granddaughter, Ava Fredericks of West Des Moines; two
sisters-in-law, Miriam Jordan and her husband, Robert, of Indiapolis, Ind. and
Marlys Salisbury of Sac City, Iowa; a brother-in-law, Merle Kroph of Las
Vegas, as well as other relatives and many friends.
He was preceded in death by his parents; two brothers and two sisters.
