If you are from Nephi or living there now, you have probably heard about or know a Winn.

The City of Nephi and the Winn Family go hand in hand, having been around from the early days of Juab County. Veterans before 1947 include John, Keith and Devon Winn. Other Winn's are RE Winn, who I think we called Dean and the Nephi Mayor in the 1950's and early 60's; then there was TC Winn, who was the Mayor in 1922. The Winn family have also been involved with the Ute Stampede, with R.E. Winn involved with that during World War II. How about Florence Winn, who helped get the canning of fruit together to assist local folks during the Great Depression or Chad Winn, a County Commissioner and who hasn't spoke in as many funerals as James H. Ockey Sr. or Ross Garrett, but he may eventually get there. Todays photo include the Winn Flour Mill which stood where the Nephi Canyon Hills Golf Course. The second photo was taken last week, and is about the same area where the Mill used to be, attempting to line it up with the ridge. The Winn Family eventually built a new one in 1917, at 1st North and 2nd West which eventually became the Juab Mill and Elevator Company. One of the other photos is of Jay Winn, son of Bert Winn. He was a farmer in Nephi and considered by many as one of the true life cowboys. We then have Hazel Winn Carter, who was born in 1891 in Nephi. She was a very active member of the Daughters of the Utah Pioneers.
