Anna Mary Winters

Zwillingsschwester von Maria Anna Wießmann

Peter and Mary Winters came to America with their four sons with them in 1855, settling on a farm near Hillsdale Michigan. Peter was a brick maker by trade. They lived on their farm there until old age came upon them, when their son, Peter Winters, brought them to Fremont in order that he could more effectually care for them, and here the father died when aged eighty-four years, and the mother when one year younger.

In 1872, Peter and Mary's sons Peter Jr. and John started first in the tinware business, having a small shop, and as they prospered they added a line of hardware and continued together until 1906, under the firm name of Winters Brothers. In that year, Peter Winters purchased his brother’s entire interest and then formed a stock company under the style of the Winters Hardware Company, which did a very large business, carrying one of the most complete stocks in Fremont.
