      State Fair Head Succumbs William C. Winder Dies At Home Of Son
      William C. Winder, 78, president of the Utah State Fair association for the past 18 years, died following a five-day illness Saturday afternoon at the home of a son, Edwin K. Winder, in Granger.
      Mr. Winder was appointed a director of the state fair board in 1901 by Governor Heber M. Wells and had been reappointed since that time by every governor, including Governor Blood, who made the reappointment last March. He was elected president of the state fair association in 1918, which position he held at the time of his death.
      A leading farmer and dairyman of Salt Lake county most of his life, he was known throughout the west for his registered Jersey cattle stock.
      The fair director was born September 30, 1858, a son of John R. Winder, counselor to Joseph F. Smith, president of the L. D. S. church, and Elizabeth Parker Winder. The place of his birth was near the location of the present Country club in the mouth of Parley's canyon.
      Active in L. D. S. church work, he was made president of the Mutual Improvement association of the Granite L. D. S. stake in 1900. Later, he was named high councilor in the stake, and when the Grant stake was organized he was named president of the high priests' quorum. In 1934 he was ordained patriarch of the Grant stake. His wife, Rose Taylor Winder, died in July of last year.
      Surviving are a daughter, Mrs. Georgius Y. Cannon, Pasadena, Cal.; six sons, William C. Jr., John Rex, Miles S., Edwin K. and George Winder, Salt Lake City, and Joseph M. Winder, Santa Ana, Cal.; 26 grandchildren; two brothers, Edwin J. Winder, Vernal, and Rex P. Winder, Salt Lake City; seven sisters, Mrs. John J. Midgley, Mrs. Reuben G. Miller, Mrs. Thomas A. Williams and Mrs. Walter S. Mackay, Salt Lake City, and Mrs. James Steadman, Mrs. James Giles and Mrs. Reuben S. Hamilton, Riverton.
      Funeral services will be conducted Tuesday at 12:30 p. m. in the Granger L. D. S. ward chapel. Friends may call at the Bluemel & Knight mortuary, 1430 South Main street, Monday afternoon and evenig and at the home in Granger Tuesday prior to services. Burial will be in the Wasatch Lawn cemetery.
