She was born in the Winn homestead that still stands on Summer street and is now occupied by the family of her late brother, George Winn. She attended the local schools when Arlington was still called West Cambridge, and was of the class of 1869, which was the first class to be graduated from what was called Cotting Academy. Among her contemporaries were the late William E. Wood and the late Mrs. Frank Y. Wellington. Miss Winn showed artistic talent when very young and after graduating from Tilden Seminary, she studied art under Champney. The outstanding work from her brush was called "The Window of Pigs", which was sold for a goodly sum. The subject was taken from real life on the Winn farm. Before Miss Winn took up her residence in Winchenden, she was active in the Arlington Historical Society, of which she was a charter member; also in the First Parish Unitarian Church. Prayers were held at Winchenden, conducted by Rev. Roger Forbes, the son of Miss Winn's former pastor.
