In 1860 he was listed as a carpenter, and in 1861, he was listed as a member of the Mechanic Engine Company No. 1. He moved to Montana in 1880. Mary Mellen stated in her will that a portrait of Fitz Henry Lane and a painting by Fitz Henry Lane were to go to his nephew Fitz Henry Winter.

The welcome-home parade for Company G, 8th Regiment. Mechanic Fire Company No. 1. The company carried a new banner presented them by Fitz H. Lane and F.H. Winter.

The banner was handsomely trimmed with oak leaves and inscribed as follows: "Organized Jan. 7, 1854"–"Union is Strength."
