1 Raymond Roy Rinehart, born in 1885 at Arkansas City, Kansas, was one of the few men to race both motorcycles and cars on the half-mile race track at Winfield.  He moved to Blackwell, Oklahoma in 1933 and passed away there in 1968.  Roy’s body is interred in the Riverview Mausoleum in Riverview Cemetery on the north edge of Arkansas City, Kansas.

 

2 Frank L. Mansfield (1887-1970) is buried in Riverview Cemetery on the north edge of Arkansas City, Kansas.

 

3 Maximus L. “Max” Wilson was a regular competitor in the races at Winfield, Kansas before World War I.  After the war, he built miniature live steam powered locomotives before selling that business to fellow motorcycle racer Herb Ottoway.  Max is buried in the Maple Grove Cemetery in Wichita, Kansas.
