Winkler, John Bunyan, 1875-

John Bunyan Winkler was born in 1875 on a farm north of Jacksonville, Ark. As a young man, he taught school for four years; two in Pulaski County, and two in Pope County. He became a railway mail clerk in 1900, and retired from the position in 1933 after over thirty years of service to the federal government. Winkler was very active in the Farmers Union during the 1930s, and most of this collection focuses on that activity.
