Winne, who would have been 101 years old next January 8, died Tuesday at the home of her son-in-law, Dr. Frank C. Dakin, of 1134 Hinman avenue, Evanston. Mrs. Winne had been a resident of Evanston for sixty years. She was a native of Catskill, N. Y., and came to Chicago with her husband, Abraham L. Winne, shortly before the great Chicago fire. The Winnes almost im- mediately took up their residence in Evanston. Mr. Winne died more than fifty years ago. Even after she passed the century mark Mrs. Winne maintained her in- terest in national and international events. Up to the time of her death she was a faithful reader of newspa- pers and magazines. Upon meeting Col. Charles A. Lindbergh several months ago, after his trans-Atlantic flight, Mrs. Winne remarked that she considered it one of the high lights of her long life. She was born January 8, 1828. Mrs. Winne was a great-great- grandmother, one of her great-grand- children, Mrs. E. Langdon Hubbard, of Grosse Point, Mich., being the mother of an infant son. She is survived by two daughters, Mrs. Dakin, with whom she lived in Evanston, and Mrs. Rob- ert Cluett, of 1147 Sheridan road, Hub- bard Woods. Two granddaughters, Mrs. Frederick H. Scott, wife of an official of Carson, Pirie, Scott com- pany, and Mrs. Richard A. Conkling, and a grandson, Francis Dakin, repre- sent the third generation. There are several great-grandchildren.
