Clinton McKamy Winkler was born in Burke County, North Carolina October19, 1821. His fathe r was David Tate Winkler, a North Carolina farmer whocame to Robinson County, Texas in 1844 . He died in 18 4[?]. Theprogenitor of the family in America was Conrad Winkler, Clinton'sg randfather who came from Germany at an early date, settling in NorthCarolina and remaining th ere the rest of his life, a prosperous farmer.
Clinton's mother was Lavinia Gates Owen, refined and cultured lady,daughter of Harrison Owen , and educator of great merit. Their ancestorscame from England, settling in Virginia; wer e among the for emostfamilies of that region; were loyal to the colonies and assisted greatly in the Revolutionary War for Independence.
Clinton, together with the rest of his father's family, moved to Indianain 1835, but the la d remained there only until 1840, when he came toTexas to be with his uncle Harrison Owen a t Franklin in Ro bertsonCounty. This was truly a frontier settlement and the young manimmedi ately became identified with everything that interested thepeople. The most pressing concer n was hostile Indians.
Only a few days after his arrival, he joined a company of minute men.They came to a place whe re the Indians had massacred a whole family andhad danced around the victims, leaving moccasi n tracks in blood on thecabin floor. Imagine the horror of the sight and the effect upon al l whoobserved! He afterward engaged in several fights against the savagesthroughout the are a of Chambers Creek. Th e Company was under theleadership of Captain Eli Chandler. Later , he accompanied Captain ThomasI. Smith upon a expedition into Johnson County, where one of t heir numberwas killed (Abram Smith). T hey buried him under four feet of earth androde bac k and forth over his grave to obliterate all traces. Thus beganthe youth's services in behal f of Texas.
His first employment at Franklin was that of Deputy County Clerk. Hisevenings were spent i n studying law under that eminent gentleman, CharlesH. Raymond. In 1843, he was appointed c lerk pro tem o f the DistrictCourt, which position he held until he was admitted to the bar , in April,1844, thus receiving his license under the Republic of Texas.
As recounted in the Navarro County Scroll for 1958, in the article aboutEthan Melton, by Alv a Taylor, people were discussing the advisability ofcreating a new county. Several of thes e drew up a pe tition asking thata new county be formed out of Robinson County. C. M. Winkle r was askedto present the petition to the Legislature, he having been elected to theLegislatu re in 1848.
The temporary seat of justice was on Chambers Creek at the residence ofWilliam R. Howe, late r in a portion of Ellis County. The new county wasgiven the name of Navarro in honor of th e famous patrio t, AntonioNavarro. Yielding to Colonel Navarro the honor of naming the new c ountyseat, Corsicana was chosen, the name taken together meaning Navarro theCorsican, Corsic a having been the birthplace of Navarro's father.
When Mr. Winkler, in 1847, came to reside in the new county, he foundonly one family - that o f the Reverend Hampton McKinney - where he madehis home until his marriage to Mrs. Louisa B . Smith, in 18 48. Of thismarriage, three daughters were born: Lavinia, Mary, and Kate. He, together with David K. Mitchell and Thomas I. Smith, surveyed and laidoff the county seat.
After his term in the Legislature expired, he returned to Corsicana andengaged in the practic e of his profession, always maintaining a highstandard of justice.
The first general expression in favor of resistance to federalencroachment occurred at a meet ing on January 14, 1860, upon the adoptionof resolutions signed by C. M. Winkler, William F . Henderson, G . L.Martin, William H. Neblett, Joseph Clayton, Elijah Melton, and J. P.Anders on, the committee.
Now, the shadows of war were gathering.
In 1861 a company of 150 men was organized to join the Confederate Army,with C. M. Winkler a s Captain. This company became a part of the FourthTexas Regiment of Hood's Brigade which re ndered distin guished service inthe battles of Gaines' Mills, Second Manasas, Sharpsburg, Get tysburg,Wilderness, and all the campaigns of General Lee's army. When thecompany surrendere d at Appomattox, they had only 12 muskets left. GeneralLee was high in praise of the Texans.
Mr. Winkler's first promotion was to major and later tolieutenant-colonel. He was actuall y in command of a regiment after theBattle of the Wilderness, and, also after the death of Ge neral Gregg, below Richmond, in October, 1864, in command of a brigade until Col. Bass,his ra nking officer, recovered from a wound.
His first wife having died in 1861, he was married January 7, 1864, toMiss Angelina Virgini a Smith in the City of Richmond, Virginia. Sixchildren were born to this marriage. Clinto n Jr., Walton C. , Tom L.,Beatrice Elizabeth, Harry, and Myra C. Little Harry died in infanc y.
In 1865, after the war had ended, Mr. and Mrs. Winkler came to Texas. Forhim, it was a retur n home; for her, an entirely new experience. If thecontrast in conditions was too striking , nobody ever h eard her say so.Federal troops were stationed in Corsicana and many encounter s betweenthe soldiers and townspeople had to be smoothed away. As continualpeacemaker, Mr. W inkler could be depended u pon, always.
In 1872, he was made chairman of the State Democratic ExecutiveCommittee. His address to th e Democrats of Texas had the ring of truepatriotism. He was a member of the famous Thirteent h Legislatur e whichtook Texas out of the hands of the Radicals.
In 1876 he became a member of the original Court of Appeals, whichpositions he held until hi s death in 1882. The ten volumes of theopinions of the Court tell the story of his industr y and devotion toduty. He died in Austin, May 13, 1882.
Judge Winkler was a charter member of the Masonic Lodge in Corsicana. Heorganized the Bertra nd du Gueslin Commandery of Knights Templar. Wasmade Grand Master, State Masonic Lodge in 18 70. He was Grand CaptainGeneral of Grand Commandery. He took 32nd degree of Scottish RiteMa sonry in April 1882.
Resolutions on the death of Judge Winkler, as contained in records of theCourt and Masonic bo dies, are eloquent in their testimony of their lovefor one who, throughout his life, demonstr ated his lov e for them.
Judge Winkler was a consistent member of the Methodist Church and hisfamily religion was exem plified in their lives.
The organized of Confederate Veterans at Corsicana was named in memory ofColonel Winkler.
