The town was shocked Monday morning when it learned of the death of Mr. Dewey Winstead. Sometime during the night Sunday he took his own life. It seemed that he carefully planned the deed, wrapping the pistol and covering himself, head and all, under the cover to deaden the noise, drew the trigger which ushered his soul into eternity. He was the only son of Sheriff T.W. Winstead, 24 years of age. The body was laid to rest in the town cemetery yesterday evening under a bower of beautiful flowers.
