Old Settler Dies in Kansas
Mrs. Savilla Winkler, Former Huntsville Resident Passes Away at Old Folks Home Saturday
Mrs. Savilla Margaret Winkler, daughter of Terry and Annie Bradley, was born March 25, 1846, five miles south of Huntsville, on the farm known as the Thomas Jackson farm, at that time owned by Mr. Bradley, who was also the first assessor of Randolph County. In 1848, in company with her parents and own brothers and sisters, she moved to Huntsville, and resided. Kansas City to make her home, accompanied by her son, Odon, who had employment there at that time. She made her home in Kansas City until 1900 when she went to the Mother Bickerdyke Home at Ellsworth, Kansas, to make her home, and where she has spent the years in peace and happiness.
She was married to Francis M. Winkler on April 29th, 1869, and lived with him until his death, November 21, 1908, at Huntsville, Mo. Several children were born to this union, but all died in infancy excepting one son, Odon Winkler, who passed away nearly two years ago in Kansas City, where he was residing.
Mrs. Winkler passed away at 7:45 a.m. Sunday morning at the Bickerdyke Home and the body was brought to Hunsville by Funeral Director Andrew Minor and son, who went to Ellsworth Sunday evening. They arrived in Huntsville witht eh body at 6:00 o'clock Tuesday evening and was taken to the Minor Funeral Home where it remained until Thursday. It was the request of Mrs. Winkler that her body was returned to the county of her birth and placed beside that of her departed husband and children who had preceded her into the Great Beyond. She had made arrangements with Mr. Minor for the return of her body several years ago, and each year when she visited her old home on Old Settlers Day she would say it was perhaps her last trip as she was getting so feeble. She made her last visit to the old home in May when she came to mourn at the grave of her son, whom she loved devotedly and whose death grieved her deeply. when visiting her old home she alsways spent the time with her great niece, Mrs. Shirley Cairns and family, all of whom she was very fond.
She is survived by one sister, Mrs. L. A. Stone, of Liberty, Mo., who is an invalid; three nieces, Mrs. Laura McCarth, Mrs. G. W. Eadington and Mrs. Florence Dye all fo Kansas City; three nephews, Harry K. St. Clair of Kansas City; Will St. Clair of San Bernardino, California, and Ed. W. St. Clair, of Huntsville, Mo. and a large number of great nieces and nephews.
Mrs. Winkler was a member of the Baptist church and united with the Huntsville church when but a small girl, and all her life was faithful to its teachings. She was a kind and good woman, a devoted wife and a loving mother. Since residing at the Home where death occured she has been affilated with the Baptist church at Ellsworth, and attended the services there until she was to feeble to do so. The ladies of the Bickerdyke Home sent a beautiful floral spary as a token of their love and esteem for Mrs. Winkler.
