WILLIAM C. WINSTANDLEY is one of four children of John B. and Penina
(Stewart) Winstandley, and was born January 28, 1841, at New Albany, Ind.,
where his father and grandparents settled in 1818.  In boyhood he attended
the public schools of his native town, and when sixteen years old came to
Bedford (Shawswick Township, Lawrence County, Indiana) and was employed in
the old State Bank at a salary of $100 per year and board.  In 1860 he was
elected Cashier of the Bank of Salem at Salem, Ind., serving as such three
years, and the succeeding year was an assistant in the office of the Provost
Marshal at New Albany.  In September, 1864, he returned to Bedford and was
made Cashier of the "Bank of the State," and from that time until the
present has been connected with all subsequent banks at Bedford as an
official.  Mr. Winstandley, as a citizen of Bedford, has been identified in
the growth and prosperity of the town, and was a member of the first Board
of School Trustees, a  position he held eleven successive years, during
which time two large school buildings were erected.  In politics he is a
Democrat, and he and wife belong to the Christian Church.  Besides occupying
his present position in the Bedford Bank, he is President of the Hoosier
Stone Company, Vice-President and treasurer of the Bedford & Bloomfield
Railroad Company and a Director in the Southwestern Overland Telephone and
Telegraph Company, the Kentucky & Indiana Bridge Company, the New Albany
Steam Forge Works, the New Albany Water works and the New Albany Banking
Company.  In March, 1864, Mr. Winstandley and Miss Alice M., daughter of
JESSE A. MITCHELL, were united in marriage, and to them two children have
been born, named Jesse M. and John B.
