Ann,
I may have ran across a family plot for the Winter's in Jack's Valley (Douglas
Co.) - there is a small cemetery on private land that has the following:
David Henry Winter Died Oct. 11, 1881 Aged 27 yrs
Sarah Winter Born Mar 31, 1803 Died Dec 18, 1868
Sarah J. Winter Born Jan 9, 1832 Died May 27, 1913
Jacob Winters (typo?) Died Dec 11, 1892 Aged 68 yrs
James W. Winter Born May 30, 1867 Died Aug 21, 1867
Sarah Bell Winter Born Dec 21, 1861 Died Mar 13, 1866
Zerena E Winter Born Aug 30, 1859 Died Jul 19, 1860
The "David Winter" looks right and my guess is that with this many Winter's
in one spot (they are the majority of the cemetery) that it is probably
a family plot. I understand that the headstones are still standing. If
this is true, the Winter's were in Douglas Co. for a very long time! I
will check further and see if I can find anything else.
