The Churchill County Standard, 27 May 1909 4:1
A bouncing boy baby was born Wednesday, May 26 to Mr. and Mrs. Lee Winder. The little bunch of pink humanity took the house by storm and we predict that in the future as soon as its bearings can be had it will rule the Winder home as only youngsters can.

The Fallon Standard, 27 Aug 1927
An accident occurred on the highway near the Tom Dolf place east of town between a light car and a team of horses. Claude Winder was driving a bug and did not have lights. He was on his own side of the road when he met G.R. Scott driving a team of horses to a wagon. Scott did not have any lights and it is said was driving on the left of the center of the road. To avoid colliding with a power pole, Winder attempted to swing to the opposite side of the road but Scott also turned his horses quickly to the right and the machine shot into the team.
One of the horses had a leg broken and had to be killed. Claude's face was cut and bruised and his companion, Warren Whitehead, had an arm slightly hurt. It is to the credit of all parties concerned that they got together and settled the whole matter up in about 15 minutes, making a satisfactory adjustment.
Scott did not receive any injuries. Winder and Whitehead were taken to the office of Dr. Hawkins where their superficial injuries were dressed and they returned home.

Fallon Eagle, 17 May 1930:
Claude Winder, who will graduate next year from the University, has a position for the summer in the office of the state veterinary department, doing research work.

Fallon Eagle, 28 Jun 1930:
"Rats is Rats," Even if they're white, says Winder.
One rat is one thing and 11 of them, even though they are of the aristocratic white variety, is quite another thing, if you'll ask Walt Winder, whose ranch near Fallon harbored 11 of the critters Monday, where but one had come to visit Sunday.
Walt's nephew, Claude, was the cause of it all. During the winter Claude studies bacteriology and kindred pre-medic subjects at the University of Nevada. This summer he's getting experience in the livestock disease control department of the state veterinarian's office, where he does things with snails, flukes, rats and whatnot, just to see what happens.
Last Saturday, when Claude came home for the week-end he brought along his favorite white rat which, he felt sure, would find a warm welcome at home. When the family drove out to the Walt Winder ranch Sunday, the rat went along, to be admired by the youngsters, who thought it would be nice to raise a few, and talked of securing a mate for their guest.
But it wasn't necesssary. The Winder boys have a start in the white rat business -- a good start. Ten little rodents made their appearance Monday. No census has been reported since.
But then, a few off days is nothing to get discouraged about for, like guinea pigs, "rats is rats," to borrow from Ellis Parker Butler, whose "Pigs is Pigs" is a classic of American humor as well as an enlightening treatise on multiplication.

The Fallon Eagle, 9 May 1931:
Claude Winder Will Teach at U. of Michigan
Local Boy Wins Recognition for Splendid Work at Nevada University.
Recognition of the splendid record he has made as a pre-medical student at the University of Nevada, where he will be graduated next Monday with the degree of Bachelor of Science, has come to Claude Winder, son of Mrs. Lottie Winder of Fallon, in the shape of an offer from the University of Michigan, at Ann Arbor, where Mr. Winder will attend summer school this year.
At the close of the summer school Mr. Winder will be associated with Prof. Gasell of Michigan in research work, with a professorship in the offing. While he is employed under Prof. Gasell, he will be working for his Master degree in physiology, which he can earn in a year. He plans, then, to take his M.D. degree at Ann Arbor, rated one of the best of the nation's medical schools.
Mr. Winder will be accompanied to Ann Arbor this summer by Associate Professor Law of the University of Nevada chemistry department, who will also be a summer school student at the Michigan school.
Mr. Winder is a graduate of the Churchill County High School, where he completed the course of study in three and one-half years, and has continued to distinguish himself throughout his university career as an honor student and winner of a number of scholarships. He was Nevada's 1930 choice for a Rhodes scholarship, but was nosed out when the selections for this district were made at San Francisco in December. He was recommeded as Nevada's claimant for the honor by a committee from the faculty of the university, including President Clark and two professors who are themselves Rhodes scholars.
The best wishes of many friends of young Winder and his family will go with him to Ann Arbor, where, it is confidently expected, he will continue the pursuit of a career in which he has already made remarkable headway.

The Fallon Standard, 13 May 1931: Claude Winder Accepts Position at University
Claude Winder, son of Mrs. Lottie Winder of Fallon, who has just completed a pre-medical course at the University of Nevada, has been offered a position as assistant to Professor Gasell, who is connected with research work at the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor.
Winder will also be working for his master degree in physiology which he can earn within a year. He then intends to take his M.D. degree at Ann Arbor, which has a high rating as a medical school.
Prior to accepting the position offered, Winder will attend summer school at Ann Arbor.

The Fallon Eagle, 20 Aug 1932, 1:2 CLAUDE WINDER WILL WED TODAY AT ANN ARBOR Miss Harriet Owen of Boston to be Bride; Will Come Home on Honeymoon Trip
"A wedding of interest to many here will be solemnized today at Ann Arbor, Michigan, and Claude Winder, son of Mrs. T.W. Byer of Fallon, will take as his bride Miss Harriet Owen of Boston.
"Both are medical students at Ann Arbor where Miss Owen will receive her M.D. degree next year and where Mr. Winder, an honor graduate of the University of Nevada, received his master's degree in physiology this summer.
"Immediately following the ceremony at Ann Arbor today, the young people will start for Nevada by car on their honeymoon, and are expected in Fallon about August 27. They will travel the northern route, touching the east shore of Lake Michigan, and thence west to Yellowstone Partk.
"Mr. Winder, who is brother of W.L. Winder of the EAGLE staff, was graduated with honors from the local high school and has many friends in this community who will be glad to welcome him and his bride and to extend congratulations and best wishes."

The Fallon Eagle, 3 Sep 1932, 1:1 CLAUDE WINDER AND BRIDE HERE ON HONEYMOON
"Many friends here of Claude Winder have been extending congratulations and best wishes this week to him and his bride who arrived Monday evening for a visit at the home of Mr. Winder's mother, Mrs. T.W. Byer and his brother, W.L. Winder.
"Mr. and Mrs. Winder, both medical students at the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor, were married two weeks ago yesterday and left for home immediately after the ceremony, taking eight days for the trip here and touring Yellowstone Park enroute.
"Leaving the park by the West Yellowstone entrance, Mr. and Mrs. Winder toured southward through Idaho and Utah, and report splendid roads excepting for a 20-mile stretch just inside the Nevada line. They came to Fallon over the Victory highway via Fernley junction.
"Included in interesting incidents in connection with the trip was a ride through that section of Iowa where the farm strike is on and where the tourists encountered one group of pickets, patrolling the road and enforcing the 'farm holiday' by means of which farmers hope to raise the price of their products by withholding them from the markets.
"Although they were told that the roads were being picketed in all directions, Mr. Winder said that the one group of pickets was all they encountered. Passenger cars were not stopped, he said, but all farm trucks were under the ban.
"Mr. and Mrs. Winder plan to leave about the ninth of the month for the return trip to Ann Arbor."
