page 908
W. B. Winstead, son of James and Elizabeth (Robbins) Winstead, was born in Hawkins County, Tenn., November 9, 1837. The father was born in the same place as his son, in 1814, and remained in that county until thirty-seven years of age, when he removed to White County, Tenn. He here remained until 1856, and then moved to Neosho County, Kas., and there received his final summons, in April, 1870. He followed the occupation of a farmer and stock raiser all his life. The mother was born in East Tennessee, is now living in Kansas, and is about seventy years of age. They were the parents of eleven children, only four now living. W. B. Winstead was the third child born in this family. He grew to manhood on a farm, and when a young man engaged in merchandising near Springfield, Mo. He went from there to Kansas, where he engaged in the same business, following this for three years altogether. After this he dealt in stock five years, and then farmed and dealt in stock in Kansas until 1881, when he moved to Benton County, Ark., where he has since followed the same occupation. While living in Kansas he was township trustee for six years. Mr. Winstead is the owner of 180 acres of land, 120 under cultivation. In 1864 Mr. Winstead married Miss Mary E. Krouse, a native of Pennsylvania, born in Philadelphia about 1846. Eight children were born to this union: Charles W., Sarah E., Mary A., Josie F., James W., Bessie G., Martin H. and Henry H. Politically Mr. Winstead is a Democrat, but has never aspired to office, though he is regarded as a leading farmer and citizen. He was among the first of the Northern people in Benton County and helped start the modern plan of farm cultivation here. He is a Master Mason and a good man. Mrs. Winstead is a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church.

Notes: Mary E. Krouse may be the daughter of Jacob Kraus, M.E. in the 1850 Juniata County, Pennsylvania Census. In the 1865 Neosha County, KS State census her birth place is listed as NJ. What appears to be a relative, C. Crouse born in NY, is next door working as a farm hand on her father-in-law's farm. Another potential relative, Wm. Crouse born in Germany is 5 houses down.

"Can Man" Finds Aluminum-Hunting a Galvanizing Endeavor
Pea Ridge, Ark. (AP) -- The Wizard of Oz movie had its Tin Man, and Pea Ridge has its Can Man. His name is Albert Kraus and you've probably seen him if you've traveled roads in any direction around the Benton County town.

He's the man with the white Santa Claus beard putt-putting along on his moped, collecting aluminum cans as he goes out on his almost daily runs. He has returned home with as few as 42 cans, but he once brought in 840 from a single trip. Once home, Kraus stuffs the cans in plastic sacks. He adds those sacks to a row piled head-high along one wall of his garage. When he has a truckload, all are hauled to a recycling center to trade for cash.

Kraus has been picking up aluminum cans for five years. He travels so many miles and carries such a load on his moped that he has to buy a new one about once a year, he said in a recent interview. But he explains the moped he buys is recommended to carry only a 160-pound load, while Kraus himself weighs 200 pounds -- before adding the weight of the cans and other items he finds on his trips around the countryside. He's on his fifth moped now.

Reared at Paris in Logan County, he worked at a plant in Buckner, Mich., for 32 years, but says he vowed that upon retirement he would return to Arkansas -- and he did.

Kraus' wife, Ginny, got him started as a one-man major recycling project. They live on a narrow county road directly across from the Pea Ridge National Military Park. One morning she mentioned how many cans she saw along the way and suggested they pick them up. "I had no idea he was going to make a career out of it," she said. The couple already had purchased a moped each to haul in their motor home for transportation when they arrive at a destination. To embark on his can collection, her husband just equipped his moped with yellow plastic containers, front and back, plus some extra trash bags. It's not always a totally lonely endeavor. If he thinks he will be going far, his wife packs a lunch and catches up with him on a quiet country road and they share a picnic lunch together.

Not all of the aluminum he gathers are cans. Occasionally, for instance, he might find a folding aluminum chair that can be taken apart and added to his collection. Once in a while he finds something else of value -- one day, a dollar bill in a ditch, another day a coin purse on the edge of a road, with several dollars in it. And Kraus sometimes finds full beer cans, including recently a 12-pack of unopened beer in a ditch. Kraus doesn't drink, so he recycled the beer as fly-trap bait.

Most folks refer to Kraus as "the Can Man," so he and Ginny had a craftsman at a nearby arts and crafts fair make them appropriate tags for their mopeds. His says, "Al the Can Man" and hers reads "Wife of the Can Man."
