  • Louis S. Winner

    My neighbor gave me a book that was written around 1972. It is titled Indians of Clinton County Pennsylvania. It was a lot of good pictures. He frequently mentions his collection of 4000 points. I have search and searched but can't find what happened to his giant collection. Has anybody ever heard of him and the whereabouts of his collection?

      That's what I'm hoping. 4000 is a heck of a big collection and I can't understand why I can't find it at a local college or museum. It would take me a week to look at it! I sure hope it wasn't broken up.

    I never heard that name, but can you take a couple photos of some of the pages with artifacts? I may recognize some of the artifacts if the collection was dispersed.

      I'll do that.

      I tried with my phone flash and the pictures didn't turn out well enough. If I get time, I'll take a few tomorrow.

    There's a youngish looking Dr. Louis S. Winner at Penn State. Perhaps a son or grandson? His website lists contact info. You might inquire as to whether they are related.

      Good idea. I'll send an email. Thanks.

    I believe part of the collection is/was housed in the Lock Haven Library. The largest portion of it was sold at Roans Auction in Williamsport back in the early 90's.
