Fairmount Glass Manufacturer Dead.

FAIRMOUNT, IND., Feb. 25 — Business seems to be brisk at the Marion Fruit Jar and Bottle Co.'s plant, where they are working about all that can get around the furnace. This same company are pushing the work of rebuilding their Marion factory.

The King City Co. are preparing to make jars, and will be ready about the 15th of next month, and expect to run up to July 1.

The trade here mourns the loss of a tried and true friend in the death of W. C. Winslow, a member of the Fairmount Glass Co., which occurred on Sunday afternoon, February 10, at 4:30 o'clock, at his home on East Washington street, surrounded by his family and his parents. Mr. Winslow had been rapidly sinking for several days, and the end was not a surprise. The funeral services were held on wednesday at 10 o'clock AM, at the Methodist church, of which the deceased was a member. The services were conducted by Rev. J. B. Ford, pastor of the church, assisted by Revs. J. L. Radcliffe and Greenman, of Marion. The funeral was largely attended, nearly all the business houses closing to pay a last tribute to the dead. A number of friends and relatives of the deceased from distant points attended the funeral. The remains were interred in Park cemetery. The deceased leaves a wife and seven children who have the deepest sympathy of the entire community.

In the death of Mr. Winslow, Fairmount loses one of its best and truest citizens, and a just and good man. Honest in his dealings with his fellow men, always "doing unto others as he wished to be done by," no one can gainsay that Will Winslow was not a model man.

Mr. Winslow has been identified with various enterprises in Fairmount. He has been one of the foremost in promoting the growth and development of the town. He owned and operated the first factory in Fairmount, back in the '80's. Upon the discovery of gas, he was the first man to utilize it for manufacturing purposes by building and operating a hoop factory. Later, he built the Fairmount bottle works, in which he retained a half interest up to the time of his death. He was assistant cashier of the first bank organized in Fairmount, filling the position with credit and gaining the unbounded respect and confidence of the people. Mr. Winslow organized the Exchange bank, performing the duties of cashier until poor health compelled him to retire from active business.

Early last spring Mr. Winslow sought relief in the climate of Northern Michigan, where he remained several weeks, returning home but slightly improved in health. Again in the fall he went with his family to New Mexico, where a stay of two months failed to affect a cure, and he returned home to die — the victim of consumption.
