    •      The following biographical sketch was published about 1905 by the St. Louis German Conference of the German Methodist Episcopal Church.

           Louis H. Winter, der diese Gemeinden gegenwärtig als Prediger bedient [Bem, Laduc, Champion City], wurde im Jahre 1876 am 13. August im nördlichen Teil von Warren County, Mo., geboren und als Erstling von seiner frommen Mutter im Gebete dem Herrn geweiht, und ihrem Einflusse ist es zuzuschreiben, daß der Sohn heute als Prediger im Weinberge des Heern arbeitet. Seine Eltern vereinigten sich später mit der Bischöflichen Methodistenkirche und er selbst wurde bei einer anhaltden Versammlung unter der Arbeit von Br. A. Köwing in seinem 17. Lebensjahre zu Gott befehrt. Dem inneren Rufe Gottes, der ihn ins Predigtamt berief, folgend, verdiente er sich zunächst die Mittel, um zu seiner ferneren Ausbildung eine Hochschule besuchen zu können, und trat in seinem 22. Lebensjahre als Student in das Central Wesleyan-Kollegium in Warrenton, Mo., ein. Er stand in seinem letzten Studienjahr, als die Kirche ihn auf sein jetzges Arbeitsfeld sandte, auf dem er jetzt Seelen für seinen Meister zu gewinnen sucht.

           Here is a translation:

           Louis H. Winter, who currently serves as the pastor of these congregations [Bem, Laduc, Champion City], was born on 13 August 1876 in the northern part of Warren County, Missouri, and as the first-born was blessed by his devout mother's prayers to the Lord, and it is because of their influence that the son now labors as a minister in the vineyards of the Lord. His parents later joined the Methodist Episcopal Church and he himself was brought to God in his 17th year through a lasting meeting held by Brother A. Köwing. Responding to God's calling to serve Him in the ministry, he earned the means to be able to attend college to further his education, and in his 22nd year entered Central Wesleyan College in Warrenton, Missouri. Now in his last year of study, the Church has sent him to his current field of activity in order to win souls for his Master.

           In the course of his life, Rev. Winter served churches in Missouri, Iowa, Illinois, Arkansas and Kansas.
