WINDSOR, CATER (1892-1980)

WINDSOR, CATER, United Church minister, Doaktown, 1951-58; b. Wesleyville, Nfld, 22 Sep 1892, s/o Benjamin Winsor and Priscilla Roberts; m. 1921, Nellie Almira Colpitts, RN, of Pleasant Vale, N.B.; d. Saint John, 7 Mar 1980.

Cater Windsor, who altered the spelling of the surname "Winsor" to conform with convention, was licensed as a local Methodist preacher in Newfoundland in 1913. The next year, he was admitted to the regular ministry on trial, and he spent four years as a probationer in his home province and in Labrador. In 1918 he enrolled at Mount Allison University as a student of the theological training course. Ordained in 1921, he had a four-year pastorate in Lockport, N.S. In 1925 he was called to Mahone Bay, where he was the minister during church union and until 1929. He had two other United Church pastorates in Nova Scotia and two in New Brunswick prior to 1951, when he was inducted into the United Church charge at Doaktown. He retired after completion of his seven-year term there in 1958.

Windsor later lived at Petitcodiac, N.B., for twenty years, moving to Saint John shortly before his death. Throughout most of his retirement he served as a supply minister. He was survived in 1980 by three daughters and two sons.
