Winder & Farrow

I've been doing a lot of research on Charles B Winder, the Winder Musket guy.  And i just discovered that after WW1, after his discharge from the Army in 1919, and earlier before his divorce (1910?) and his WW1 active duty, he lived in West Palm Beach, Florida.   

He owned or rented 2 houses, only a block apart.  Google Earth just showed me his houses.  His first house was 2 houses away from where W. Milton Farrow lived, right around the corner.  Farrow's shop was one house further down the street.   

That cannot have been a coincidence. Winder & Farrow met at Sea Girt, probably at the tryout for the 1902 Palma Match.  Both their names are listed in the tryout match scores.   

Farrow lived full time in Washington, D.C. from about 1897 until after the end of WW1 (11/1918) and the end of gov't contracts, but he bought 3 adjacent city lots in West Palm Beach about 1910.   

Winder's WW1 active duty time appears to have been mostly in Washington & environs.
