Businessman & Former Alderman Dies at Hospital - Harry E. Winters

Harry E. Winters, well known Davenport businessman, former alderman and member of the police and fire commission died at Mercy hospital at 8:15 a.m. today following an illness which became serious a month ago.

Mr. Winters, who was 64 years old, was head of H.E. Winters Specialty Co., and for many years also engaged in real estate business, developing a number of neighborhood business sections throughout the city. He resided at 1824 Jersey Ridge Road.

His body was taken to Halligan Funeral home from where the funeral will be held Saturday, 8:30 am with the services at the Church of St. Paul the Apostle at 9 o’clock. The rosary will be recited at the funeral home Friday at 8 p.m. Internment will take place in Oakdale cemetery.

Mr. Winters, who has been active for a number of years in local Republican party circles for a number of years, served two terms as alderman of the Fourth ward from 1922 to 1926. After completing his term as alderman he was appointed a member of the police and fire commission, now the Civil Service commission, on which he served for six years.

Resided Here for 40 Years

Coming to Davenport 40 years ago from Fort Madison, Ia., where he was born March 10, 1878, Mr. Winters founded H.E. Winters Specialty Co., which he has headed since. For many years his firm has been engaged in the manufacture of changeable bulletin boards. For a number of years, Mr. Winters was also engaged in real estate activities and a number of neighborhood business sections were developed under his direction. These include the section in the vicinity of Twenty-­‐ninth and Brady streets, at Locust and Iowa streets and the Nome building at Locust and Brady streets.

He was also associated in real estate ventures for a number of years with Adolph Kahles, Davenport plumbing contractor, and together they built the Frontenac apartments at Twenty-­‐ninth and Dubuque streets. They disposed of this building, however, several years ago.

Goes to Alaska

As a young man Mr. Winters went to South America where he remained for a short time and later went to Alaska during the gold rush days. He was the source of many interesting stories and incidents which occurred during his stay in the Klondike. One of his early acquaintances was the late Tex Rickard, who later became famous as a big time boxing promoter. Mr. Winters met Rickard while the latter operated a dance hall in Alaska, and kept up a correspondence with him until the latter’s death some years ago.

During his early years of residence in Davenport, Mr. Winters operated the Steamer Frontenac and barge which was one of the popular pleasure crafts on the Mississippi River in those days. Many boxing events which he promoted were held on this barge.

Spanish War Verteran

He served during the Spanish-­‐American war and was a member of Walter G. Nagle camp, Spanish-­‐ American war verterans. He was also a member of the chamber of commerce, the Davenport, Kiwanis club, and Davenport lodge #298, B.P.O. Elks.

The survivors include his widow, Mrs. Norma Winters, the former Norma Zimmerman, of Davenport; four sons, Wyatt, Warren, Reed and Norman, all of Davenport; two sisters, Mrs. Jesse E. Hofeld of Oak Park, Ill., and Mrs. B. Florer, of Galesburg; four brothers, Fred of Alexandria, Mo., Frank of Gregory Mo., and Paul and George of Canton, Mo. A grandson, Harry Winters II, also survives.
