================================
Scott Winings, who was found dead, a suicide, at his father's home in Lake City Tuesday, was buried at Long Creek Wednesday morning and the final chapter closed in a troubled life.
Winings killed himself with a revolver some time Monday night after the family had retired and his body was found the next morning. No one in the house heard the report of the shot that sent a bullet into his brain, but a woman living across the street afterwards remembered hearing what she thought were three pistol shots about 11 o'clock Monday night. As a door in the Winings home had been shattered by bullets, it seems Winings had first tested the revolver before turning it on himself.
It was the dead man's second attempt at suicide, the other having been made when he lived in Iowa several years ago. Winings' wife had left him because of his dissolute habits and he had been almost a mental and physical wreck for several years. His wife is now dead, but a young daughter and other relatives survive.
