publ. 1912 - Page 569
 
LUCIUS A. WINCHESTER, son of David D. WINCHESTER and Susan WILSON, was born at 
Hartford, Vermont, September 22, 1821; became a blacksmith, and came in 1843 to 
Milwaukee; in 1844 came to Whitewater and took James ROGERS as shop-partner.  
In 1850 he married Lucy A. WAKELEY (who died February, 1861); in the same year 
he began plow making in partnership successively with Daniel C. TRIPP, William 
DeWOLF and John S. PARTRIDGE, and in 1864 added wagon-making to his growing 
business.  In 1873 was formed the WINCHESTER & PARTRIDGE Manufacturing Company, 
which added materially to the general prosperity of the otherwise enterprising 
village.  His second wife was Charlotte E., daughter of Moses and Charlotte 
CLARKE.  He died April 9, 1890.
