    3. Hi James, I suspect it's this fellow. I have him as George Warren Winn, from the 1930 census records for this family. From "the Higbee News" Friday, 17 June 1921, Vol 35, No 9--HIGBEE BOYS WINS HONOR--Our heartiest congratulations to Warren, son of Dr. and Mrs. J. W. Winn, who made the highest grade in the examination held in Moberly on the 4th by County School Superintendent Wm. Robertson, for the purpose of selecting a boy to represent Randolph county at the State Fair at Sedalia August 14-20, and won the honor. Second place went to Hubert Harris of Huntsville. Warren, with one boy from each of Missouri's 114 counties, will be the guest of the state, which will pay all of his expenses and show him everything to be seen at the big fair, which is to be much larger than usual this year, and the largest, perhaps, ever held in the West, as Missouri's one hundredth birthday as a state of this glorious union will be celebrated at the same time and place, it having been admitted as a state in 1821, so the boys are slated for the best show and the best time of their lives. Nothwithstanding the big free trip to be won, but nine boys in all of Randolph county took interest enough in the matter to take the examination, and of this number, we are proud to say, there were from Higbee, the two others being Joe Spurling and Eugene Burton. Dr. and Mrs. Winn, whom we congratulate as well as Warren, have particular reason to be proud of the grades made by their son, as he completed grammar school only this year, while some of those from other sections of the county who took the examination had a year or more in high school.
