Godfried Benjamin Winder was born June 28, 1885, and came to Windsor 48 years ago in March of 1906. For years he assisted the late RS Dickey on his farm near Windsor. Then he rented a farm from John Challgren, near Severance. Later he and Challgren formed a partnership and in 1918, Winder and his family moved to the ranch, two miles northeast of Windsor. A few years later, Winder purchased the Challgren interest in the farm.

Winder served as a member of the Windsor board of education for 17 years. He had completed 16 years as director when he was reelected to the board in May 1953. He had served as president of the board since 1949, when he was elected to succeed George H. Frye.
