JCl Profiles From The Past b heoda Downs Fr the files ef the . llistor Heritage Society of Smithfield On May 23, 1870, the second municipal election was held in Smithfield and on June 6, the elected officials chose Thomas G. Winn as marshal for the ten year old community. This item can be found in city minutes and is also recorded in the History of Smithfield by Mr. and Mrs. Leonard Olson. Most students who have studied Smithfield History will recall this mans name, but few will know of the many other things Thomas G. Winn did as an early citizen in pioneer times. A grandson, David Griffin Winn, has prepared a life sketch of his grandfathers life and a copy has been supplied the Historical Society by board member Barbara Winn Gutke. From this history we note that Thomas Griffin Winn was born December 20, 1829 at Blakely, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania. He was the first son of John Jr. and Christiana Finch Winn. He had four brothers. His father was baptized a member of the LDS Church at Kirtland, Ohio on June 30, 1833 by Oliver Cowdery. Later that year the family moved to Kirtland only to move on within a few days as church members were forced to move west to Missouri. Thomas G. was baptized at Far West, Missouri in 1839 at the age of 10. Along with other church members he passed through the trials and tribulations of the expulsion from Far West. Two of his brothers were lost due to exposure and mobbings there. The family settled in Nau-vo- o, Illinois, where they remained until the saints were again expelled from man or cavalry. According to the history by his grandson, Thomas was a fine horseman; he loved spirited horses. I remember in the winter when he would hitch up a fine span of horses to a bobsled and cut shines on the corners of main street. He always had a big load of young folks. The early Smithfield Ward records were searched and the following recordings found, according to the history. When the Smithfield Rich- mond Canal was built, Thomas G. was sustained a member of the committee. He was chosen to assist the bishopric in handling ward affairs in May 1861, also serving as President of the Elders. In 1864, Bishop Roskelley asked Thomas G. to head a committee to build an tion system for the town. In February 1866, the Bishop called for volunteers to go back to Iowa, to bring saints who needed help, to Utah. Thomas G. volunteered to go back with a yoke of oxen and a wagon'. In July 1866 it was decided to build a fence to separate the farm land from the pasture. Thomas G. was called to take charge of this project. The following July 2, 1867 he and George Barber were selected to pick a man to herd the horses of the town. At the sxme meeting, Thomas G. was selected to be Marshal of the Day for the 4th of July celebration. He was called in 1867 to repair all the bridges in the town as President Brigham Young would be visiting the town soon. Prior to June 1, 1868, he was appointed by the Bishop to go to Echo Canyon to assist the Union Pacific Railroad in their work there. When the United Order was instituted in Smithfield climber, states Kelly Griffin, son of Harlow and Pauline Griffin of Newton. Kelly was on a boating and fishing trip down the Green River and to Flaming Gorge Dam along with 28 fathers, sons and leaders from the Newton Ward. Finding some spare time while the older folks were preparing the evening meal Kelly and several other boys decided to scale some cliffs at the mouth of Sheep Creek. Climbing about 300 feet and ahead of the other boys, Kelly found he was at a point where he was unable to come down. Thinking maybe it would be easier to go over the top he continued to work upward, only to find that soon he could not go either way. The sheriff of Manila was contacted who in turn radioed for help from the park rangers. They arrived ahout dark and decided it would be best not to attempt a rescue until morning. By then they could have a in the early 1870s he was appointed to the committee to organize this. In the spring of 1886 when the Edmunds Tucker Law disfranchised all plural marmountain riages, Thomas G. went to professional climber there, also it was St. George and remained to sprinkle and the there until 1889. If he had starting mountain would lie slick. to his home he returned would have been put in prison. He had married Elizabeth Hatch in Lehi in 1854. They had two daughters born there.

Kellys father and two other men, Jim Mullens and Bishop Max Christiansen maintained an all night vigalance at the base of the cliff, continuing through the night to call and talk with Kelly. This point was about 500 or 600 feet above the creek below, but on a gradual decline. At daylight a ranger arrived and with the help of three boys carrying his gear they climbed the back side of the mountain to a point 150 feet above Kelly. From there he was able to drop down to Kellys position with ropes. Using a special harness on Kelly and with much instruction the two lowered over the edge and repelled down the face to safety. Radio contact was maintained with the ranger and at one time when asked why. it was progressing so slowly he said, From up here it looks like the end of the world. It took between three and four hours from the time the ranger started over the top until they were down. Kyle West Leaves For Mission there. r And so, the colorful life on one of Smithfields early pioneers came to an end but the things he did have left an imprint upon the growth of our community. He has also left a posterity, many of whom, contribute to and enrich our community today. As he was remembered by people of the community, they claimed his grandson, the late George T. Winn, was very much like him. The sketch concludes . . . He was a leader of men, as has been attested by the numerous positions he was called to fill. missionary himself.

Their next move was to Winter Quarters, Iowa. Thomas, his mother, and a brother, George Finch Winn, came to Utah in 1850 and settled first in Lehi, Utah. He met and married Elizabeth Hatch in the summer of 1854. When Brigham Young sent a group of men to take the church cattle into Cache Valley, Thomas G. was called along with George and Joseph Baker who later lived in Mendon and Wilson Shum-walater of Millville.
