Andrew moved from Indiana to Iowa in 1881 settling temporarily in Independence. The Bulletin-Journal reports that the following year he moved to Winthrop. Hi original destination was Nebraska but a storm delayd their them and he changed his destination to Iowa.

The newspaper obituary continues, "On coming to Winthrop they bought a farm a short distance from town on which they lived and where he pursued the business of farming with the industry, perseverance and economy pre-eminently characteristic of the German race. Prior to having engaged in farmin he worked ar the blacksmiths trade which he digently pursued from the early age of 17 until he was about 48 making thirty-one years in which we find further evidence of the untiring industry and devotion so essential to success in any calling and which had always been characteristic of Mr. Wininger's career."

This article further reports that he was a member of the M.E. Church in which he served as an officer and was a most liberal contributor. He was also reported as, "a strong foe to the saloon and aided the cause of temperance by his example, by his voice, and by his his vote and with his money."
