- From A HISTORY OF STEARNS COUNTY, MINNESOTA (1915) BY WILLIAM BELL MITCHELL Conrad P. Winther, leading dentist and representative citizen of Paynesville, was born in the township of Paynesville, March 26, 1885, son of 0.N. and Johanna (Paulson) Winther, natives of Norway, and grandson of Hans Paulson, the early pioneer. 0. N. Winther and his wife came to America in June, 1883, and located on a farm in section 31, Paynesville, owned by Hans Paulson, the father of Mrs. Winther. Mrs. Winther died October 4, 1913, and Mr. Winther still lives on the place.
Conrad P. Winther received his preliminary education in the district schools of his neighborhood, in the Minneapolis High School, and in the Augsburg Seminary at Minneapolis. In 1903 he entered the dental department of the University of Minnesota, and was graduated in 1906. Immediately after his graduation he opened an office at Paynesville, where he has built up a large practice. His reputation for skill has extended wide, and his patients come from many miles in the country as well as from the village. He is well liked, and is a splendid type of an honorable young man. January 2, 1912, his well-equipped office was totally destroyed by fire, but, undaunted, he at once purchased new and modern machinery and equipment, and fitted up a suite of splendidly furnished offices in the First State Bank Building. He is a member of Paynesville Lodge, No. 71, A. F. & A. M., of Minneapolis Consistory, No. 2, Scottish Rites, and Zurah Temple, A. A. 0. N. M. S., of Minneapolis. Dr. Winther was married July 5, 1910, to Elsie Hand, who was born in Aurora, 111., in 1886. Mrs. Winther is a graduate of the Iowa State University at Iowa City, and before her marriage was a successful educator. She came to Paynesville as instructor in Latin in the Paynesville High School.
