WINALL, Samuel Smith (Cincinnati, OH, Mar. 29, 1834--Dubuque, IA, Mar. 30, 1901). In 1843 Winall and his parents came to Galena, Illinois.

He moved to Dubuque in 1864 and went into partnership with George H. Ballou in the printing firm of Ballou & Winall. This business did not last long. He then joined Joseph Biden, William A. PALMER and Christopher H. BERG in the firm of PALMER, WINALL & CO., blank-book manufacturers, printers and book-binders, on the corner of Sixth and Iowa STREETS. This business lasted until Winall's death.

Winall was the treasurer of the Eleventh Street Elevator Company. He was also involved in the DUBUQUE BUILDING AND LOAN ASSOCIATION. He served many years as a member of the finance committee and trustee of St. Luke's Methodist Episcopal Church later ST. LUKE'S UNITED METHODIST CHURCH.

Next door (despite the gap in numbering) was the Samuel Smith "S.S." Winall family home. That house was originally 60 Chestnut Street, and is now 604 Chestnut Street. S.S. Winall (1834-1901) and his second wife, Sarah Jane Wallis (1844-1932), daughter of James and Ann Bell Wallis, lived there with their two children: Mary Beatrice "Bea" Winall, and James Wallis "Wallis" Winall. I have also attached a picture of what the house looks like now, from the City Assessor's website. Photo and research courtesy: Andrea Wallis Aven
