After find[ing] the body Mrs. Winslow called Gilbert Davis and Dick Brooks. Dr. C. D. Humberd of Barnard, county coroner, was notified and he held a view inquest about 8 o'clock last night.

Mr. Winslow was born March 26, 1866, near Joliet, Ill., the son of Richard and Mary (Murray) Winslow. Besides his widow he leaves four sons and three daughters. They are L. D.
