  • Notes 
    • If he graduated from Baylor in 1901, presumably, he should be enumerated there for the 1900 census. He hasn't been found yet. It's a good plan to search yearbooks, too. Ancestry lists him in the school yearbooks and in the college students list.

      UPDATED: 24 Aug 1992 Parents came to Ellis co from TN in 1869 and settled near present location of Forreston. Parents died when he was very young; Clyde and his brother Gray went to live with Joseph Thomas Winn after his father's death; began working for himself at age 13. Graduated from Itasca High School in 1892, began teaching school when he was 18. Graduated Baylor Univ. in 1901, U of TX law department in 1903; was assistant attorney of Ellis Co for 4 years from 1904 to 1908, city atty for 12 years; local atty in Ellis Co for over 46 years. From letter from Clyde Fleetwood Winn to "Mamma and Louise", 6-11-1956. Margaret described him as extremely
      ambitious but something of a dreamer. Handsome but not a fashionable dresser, with the "Winn laugh".

      Baptized 10 June 1956, First Baptist Church, Waxa.

      Lived 108 E. University in 1920 census.
