WINSER, Henry Jacob, journalist, born in the island of Bermuda, 23 November, 1833. His father, Francis J. Winser, was an officer in the British navy. He attended the Springfield academy, Bermuda, came to New York in 1851, entered a printing-office as proof-reader, and later became a reporter on the " Times." At the opening of the civil war he accompanied Colonel Ephraim E. Ells-worth as military secretary, and afterward was war-correspondent of the New York "Times." After the war he served for a period as city and night editor of the New York "Times," and then as day-manager of the editorial department. In 1867 he attended the French exposition at Paris as regular correspondent for the "Times," and made the trip to Cherbourg in the iron-clad "Dunderberg." In May, 1869, Mr. Winser was appointed United States consul at Sonneberg, Germany, and during his twelve years' service he made several valuable reports to the state department, including one on forest-culture. In 1882 he was made chief of the bureau of information of the Northern Pacific railway company, but on the retirement of Henry Villard he returned to journalism, first as assistant editor of the New York "Commercial Advertiser" and afterward as managing editor of the Newark "Advertiser," with which he is still associated.
