Bernard H. Winking was born February 21, 1838 in Gerske near Coesfeld, Westphalia, came to Quincy in 1857, where he was occupied for many years as a cooper. Here he married Christina Lügering. The husband died February 18, 1909; his wife is still living. Sons are Bernard, Heinrich, Franz, Hermann, Wilhelm, and Anton in this city.
