J. K. Winsett was born in Indiana in 1845, and removed to Black Hawk county, with his parents, when a child, where he resided until he came here, in May, 1880, where he engaged in the grocery and hardware business. He closed out the grocery, and continued the hardware trade. His partner, Edward H. Burnham, was born in Richland county, Wisconsin, in 1859. Before coming to Allison he was engaged for some time as clerk for Foote & Mott, of Parkersburg, this county. His father, A. G. Burnham, settled in Richland county about 1857.
