Title: MS 521 - Winninger Family Photo Collection, 1920-1929
Arrangement
The collection is arranged in the oversize box with the folder containing the picture of the original YU ranch on top, the scans in the next folder, and finally the photograph album on the bottom.
Abstract
The collection consists of photographs of the Winninger family and the YU Ranch on the Greybull River during the years 1920 to 1940. The Winninger family was made up of Joseph Winninger, Mabel Buell Winninger and their four kids. John Joseph "Jack" Winninger was the oldest, born in 1926, and the donor of the collection with his wife JoAnn Winninger. The YU Ranch was primarily a sheep ranch, and in the late 30s also became a cattle ranch.
Administrative/Biographical History
The Winninger was made up of Joseph Winninger, Mabel Buell Winninger and their four children, John Joseph "Jack" Winninger, Farris Winninger, Betty Winninger, and Ruth Winninger. Jack was born in 1926 and the oldest of the four children. Jack and his wife JoAnn were the donors of this collection. The YU Ranch (or the upside down Y U ranch) on the Greybull River was a sheep ranch between Joseph Winninger and his partner, John O. Eychaner. During the Great Depression they split the ranch and Joseph got the northern part. In the late 1930s they also began ranching cattle. Joseph Winninger passed away in 1943. Albert Baldwin was the manager for the ranch and took many of the photos in the collection. Author: John Joseph "Jack" Winninger
