Misc. Notes
Herbert is the son of George Arthur Wintemute and Sarah Anne Geady. His father was a weaver.
He married Mary Ruttan first, and after her death, married her widowed sister, Olivia.
Herb Wintemute was a missionary in Bolivia, South America during the 1930's and was given 2 copper vases unearthed by a Bolivian Indian farmer.
He arrived in New York aboard the Santa Teresa from Valparaiso, Chile on 21 Feb 1927. He later came back to New York aboard the Santa Maria from Mollendo, Peru on 1 Dec 1933.
After Olivia married Herb she gave one of those vases to Norman A. Barr, her nephew. He still has it in his possession and it dates back to the time of the Aztecs. It is tempered copper and made out of one piece with no seams. This method has not been replicated today.
