Thanks, Carey. Do you recall if the son was married? I hope you can find the obit - probably a lot of info in the obit. -----Original Message----- From: Carey Bankhead [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, March 30, 2006 10:42 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [MoRandolph] Winn Dr. J. W. Winn's l95l obit is in my files in the Randolph Co Historical Society in Moberly, where I visit most Saturday AMs. I'll try to remember to copy it if I go there this Saturday. Mrs. Winn died before him, but I can't recall copying her obit. The editor of 'The Higbee News' died in l948, and I am working on a book based on articles written by him and his father. The News was sold and published for two or three years afterwards, and I copied some items of potential interest, including Dr. W's obit. I briefly knew Dr. Warren Winn since he was on the board of directors of a Boonville bank and my father operated the Higbee bank. We would see him at area bank meetings. ==== MORANDOL Mailing List ==== Questions for the List Administrator? Send them to Leslie at [email protected]

No, the obit as in the post-Scott Welch era, meaning the deceased didn't get preached through the pearly gates via an obit...."just the facts, Mam!" Warren was married, and, as I told someone a few days ago via this route, I recently visited with a man from Boonville who I believe said dated one of them. I don't know about their present whereabouts. I drove through the Walnut Grove or whatever they call the cemetery in east Boonville, but didn't notice a Winn stone. My late Dad had some good stories to tell about Dr. Winn, Sr.....he liked his drink! There is a story of his attending a Democratic function, drank too much, and fell over a tie rope of a tent and broke an arm. A Higbee osteopath (MDs and Osteopaths couldn't stand each other back then) was also drunk, but tried to straddle Doc Winn's chest to set the arm, upon which Dr. Winn is supposed to have said, "get off me you Osteopath ______!" Makes a good story anyhow.
