Churchill County Eagle, Saturday 22 Feb 1930 1:4 DEATH OF LEE WINDER; LIVED HERE 30 YEARS Funeral to Be Held From the Fraternal Hall at 2:30 This Afternoon
One of those extemely unfortunate occurrences happened shortly after 11 o'clock Wednesday night when Lee Winder passed from life at his own hand, the exact cause not being known, though it is will known to those closely associated with him that for a number of years he had been in ill health, at times suffering intense pain. At one time an accident that almost cost the sight of both eyes had given him trouble.
Last Wednesday morning Ed Frazzini, accompanied by Mr. Winder, who was associated with him in the automobile division of his business, motored to Reno, being accompanied by Mrs. Winder. They were busy during the entire day and had made a very desireable arrangement for Mr. WInder to handle quite a number of used cars. They came home that night, Mr. Frazzini and Mr. Winder each driving a car home while Mrs. Winder brought the one they rode in to Reno.
Arriving in Fallon they had supper at a local restaurant and Mr. Frazzini took them home, leaving them about 10:30. After Mr. and Mrs. Winder had retired, Mr. Winder got up and dressed, stating that he was going to town. Hearing a click, Mrs. Winder rushed to the kitchen, but too late to reach him before a bullet was sent through his brain. Bruce Beyer, high school boy who resides with the family, was the only other one in the house at the time
H.A. Clarke, coroner, was notified and summoning Walter Dexter, J.A. Law and Claude H. Smith as jurymen, held an inquest, the verdict being that he 'came to his death by a self-inflicted gun-shot wound, the bullet penetrating the brain.'
Lee Winder was born in Austin, Nevada, April 13, 1883, and would have been 47 years of age on the 13th of next April. For over 30 years he resided in Churchill County, and was highly esteemed by a large circle of friends who knew his true worth of character and ability.
Besides the widow he leaves two sons, Claude and William Winder, his mother, Mrs. Jennie Winder, and one brother, Walter Winder, all residing in thi community.
The funeral is to be held at 2:30 this afternoon from the lodge room in Fraternal Hall, the ceremonies to be held under the auspices of Churchill Lodge no. 26, F. & A. M. of which he was a member. Interment will be made in the Fallon Cemetery
