Man Despondent and Unemployed Man Ends Life in Grant County
Bert Winkley formerly of Pilate Rock killed himself last Monday in Grant county. He shot himself with a rifle at the Bogard homestead area near Ukiah after family troubles with his father in law. His wife, daughter of J G Bogard, had lived with him on the Bogard place and later at the Gene Thompson ranch before Winkley went to Ukiah seeking work. He was not found for some time and the act appears driven by despondency.
