    1. Winns
    2. I have noticed several mentions of Winn families, so I thought I'd post this inquiry here. I have 3 photos of Winns...Gertie, Georgia, and Oscar. All appear to be in late teens/early twenties. The photos were taken in Salisbury MO, but I don't know who these folks are or where they actually lived. I think they may have been friends of one of my family lines, but really don't know. I'm guessing the photos were taken around 1870 - 1880 I've posted a similiar inquiry to Chariton, Howard Co, and Winn lists but haven't found anyone who knows who they might be. Janet

    3. Here again I may be off in left field, but I believe there was a stone step in front of a Higbee main (Division St) street building, leading to what would have been an upstairs office, that had the Murrell/Merrell name on it...again, I may be wrong.

    2. Murrell was definitely the spelling in our family, but I do believe he was a lawyer. He had married Lora Patrick (parents buried at Sugar Creek). Unfortunately, I believe there was a divorce there. And Romjue is another connection. I graduated from H.S. at Macon with his grandson, James Romjue, who was either valedictorian or salutatorian--very smart.

    3. Of course you knew of Dr. W's first wife....the Dysart....who is buried north of Yates, but in typing the info for you I wanted to think that I'd read somewhere where he actually began his practice at Myers....now Bunker Hill.....in Bonne Femme Twp, Howard County. I used to have an old poison record and pharmacy bottle that I think dated from his practice there, but I could be confusing the Dr's. My wife and I lived for years the in the Higbee home that Dr. Tyre Dinwiddie (one of Dr. Winn's older contemporaries who also hailed from Howard and who is buried at Myers/Bunker Hill) who built it in l890. My son and daughter-in-law now live in it. Higbee had a number of medical doctors, dentists, etc. The Dr. Brown mentioned in the Winn info was quite a fellow apparently....when he died it was found that he owned thousands of acres in Texas, Colorado, etc.., had served in the legislature in the latter, but was a New Yorker by birth and had graduated from the medical school attached to Bellevue hospital in NYC. He apparently lived in Indiana first, where his body was shipped from Higbee after his dropping dead in the door of his S. Randolph St. drug store. He was a devoted Republican, it seems, not a common thing in Higbee. Another contemporary of his was a mysterious man (I can't recall his name at the moment) who is said to have ridden into Higbee on a white horse, opened a funeral parlor, operated a coffin factory, and when he died....alone in one of the rooms in Dr. Brown's hotel....The News mused that it was thought the man had escaped from Ireland where he may have been of royal birth.....good discussion topics in the pre-radio/TV days!

When the United States entered the World War, he responded to the president's call for volunteers in the medical department and enlisted Aug. l2, l9l8, was commissioned Oct. 9, l9l8, and assigned to duty at Camp Arthur, Texas, April 2nd. He was transferred to San Antonio, Texas and spent six months and six days on the bordere. With headquarters at Sierra Blanca, Dr. Winn had charge of that post and one camp at Hester's ranch. Dr. Winn, soon after the cessation of hostilities, was discharged from the service and returned to Higbee, where he has since been devoting his time to professional duties. On Oct. l5, l9l9, he was married to Miss Ida M. Cubbage of Randolph County. She is a daughter of Harvey and Mary (Duncan) Cubbage, natives of Kentucky, who were early settlers of Randolph County. One child has been born to Dr. and Mrs. Winn, George Warren. While in college, Dr. Will also studied pharmacy and his state license is dated April 2, l895. From May, l895, to April l9l3, he owned and managed a drug store in Yates when he purchased the Dr. Broen drug store in Higbee which he conducted along with his practice until he entered the government service. Dr. Winn is a Democrat and a member of the Baptist church. he holds membership in the Masonic Lodge and Independent Order of Odd Fellows Lodge. He is one of the progressive men of this section and is a stockholder in the Yates Savings Bank." [Charles, please note that the Dr. "Broen" should read "Brown," since it refers to Dr. Alfred Brown, interestingly a hard shell Republican, who operated a practice/pharmacy in the Randolph Hotel on south Randolph St., where he died suddenly. Later Dr. Winn would practice from his pharmacy next to the Higbee Savings Bank on Division St.] From 'The Higbee News' Apr. 4, 19l3: "ANOTHER DOCTOR FOR HIGBEE -- DR. J. W. WINN BUYS THE BROWN DRUG STORE AND WILL LOCATE HERE. Dr. J. W. Winn of Yates this week closed a deal for the drug store of the late Dr. A. J. Brown, and will locate among us for the practice of his profession. He will have the store open and ready for business some time next week, and will move his family here about May lst. Dr. Winn is too well known to most of our readers to need any introduction to the people of Higbee, being born and reared not far from here in Howard county and for almost twenty years has been located in our little neighboring city of Yates. He has built up an extensive practice in that locality, and the people there will give him up with a great deal of regret. he is a graduate of one of the best medical schools in the state, is a hard student, keeping abreast of the times, and stands high in the estimation of his fellow practioners, both as a gentleman and a physician, as he does with all who know hiim. We are sorry to see Yates lose such a good and enterprising citizen, and at the same time glad that he is to cast his lot among the good people of Higbee. The News joins others in extending him the hand of fellowship, and wishes and predicts for h im abundant success." From "The Higbee News" Dec. 30, l950: DR. J. W. WINN TO LEAVE HIGBEE -- Friends, especially 'old timers' were sorry to see the closing out sale of Dr. Winn's Drug Store. Dr. Winn has practiced medicinie in this vicinity for over fifty years, starting his practice in Yates in l895. He came to Higbee in l9l3 and has maintained a drug store in connection with his spractice since that time. During all these years he has enjoyed a profitable, helpful career. However, he now expects to retire to the home of his son, who rresides in Boonville, and is one of the head surgeons at St. Joseph's hospital there. Dr. Winn is looking forward to being closer to his wife who has been confined to the hospital, in Boonville, for over a year. The community wishes Dr. Winn a contented retirement." From 'The Higbee News,' Dec. l3, l95l - FUNERAL SERVICES FOR DR. J. W. WINN TODAY IN BOONVILLE " Funeral services for D. J. W. Winn, former Higbee and Yates physician, will be held at two o'clock this afternoon from the Goodman and Bollar Funeral Home, in Boonville, rev. J. M. Wilcoxin, of Fayette, will officiate at the services. Burial will be in the Walnut Grove Cemetery, in Boonville. Dr. Winn, son of the late Mr. and Mrs. George Winn, was born in Howard County August l0, l871. He was married to Miss Ida Mae Cubbage, who preceded him in death. Dr. Winn was widely known, having practiced his profession for oveer 50 years in the Yates and Higbee community. He is survived by a son, Dr. G. W. Winn, of Boonville, and a brother, John B. Winn, of Duncan, Oklahoma. Three grandchildren, also nieces and nephews survive." [Note from Carey: I'm interested in Dr. Winn's mother's connections to the Hitt family of Howard Co., since my wife descends from them, i.e., Hamilton & Sarah Hitt Thornhill of Bonne Femme Twp.]

    1. Boone - Bryan - Tribble
    2. DAVID BROWN
    3. For those researching the Tribble connection with the Boone family, the Spraker book (The Boone Family History) has an interesting chart on p. 514 illustrating the various relationships. Interestingly, the chart shows a connection to George Boone (brother of Daniel) and Anne Linville. From what I understand, Anne Linville is a daughter of William Linville and Eleanor Bryan, who is a daughter of Morgan Bryan! Additionally, the Tribble family is connected with the Chenault family and some posts have been going through on the Madison Co., KY List that some of you may be interested in reading (I think someone else on this list mentioned Chenaults..cannot remember who else brought up this family). Thanks! David
