D., a well known physician and surgeon of Wilton Junction, Iowa, is a native of Illinois, where he spent the earlier part of his life, taking up his abode in Iowa nine years ago. He has met with gratifying success as a medical practitioner and is prominent both on account of his skill in the healing art and as a public-spirited citizen. He was born in Rock Island county, Illinois, November 19, 1872, a son of Rev. L. and Emma ( Bereline ) Winter. The father is a native of Prussia and the mother of Rock Island county, Illinois. Mr. Winter is a well known and highly respected Lutheran minister and for forty-one years past has had charge of the Hampton parish at Rock Island. Of the nine children of the family, seven are now living.Reared under the most favorable circumstances, Dr. Winter received a good preliminary education and matriculated in the medical depratment of the State Universtity of Iowa, from which he was graduated with the degree of M. D. in 1901. After spending one year at home he located at Wilton Junction, where he has engaged actively in practice since 1902. His theoretical knowledge has been supplimented by a wide experience and a lucrative and growing practice is evidence of his success in a vocation that calls for the best judgment of the brightest minds. He keeps thoroughly informed as to the progress which is made from year to year in medicine and when not attending to patients is usually to be found in his library, which is supplied with the best medical books and magazines.
On the 16th of July, 1908, Dr. Winter was united in marriage to Miss Marie Miller, who was born at Wilton Junction in 1879.

Dr. Winter politically is in sympathy with the republican party but does not devote much attention to politics, as his time is occupied with his professional duties. Fraternally he belongs to Lodge, No. 167, A. F. & A. M. He and his family occupy a fine residence in Wilton Junction, where they dispense to many friends a generous hospitality. The respect in which Dr. Winter is held is the result of his conscientious attention to his duties of his profession and of a well established reputation for integrity of character, which is of more value to its possessor than all the luxuries and honors that riches can command.
