Ionia Sentinel-Standard
Edwin Wines, 75, who sent a bullet from a rifle into his head Monday morning at 
the home of his daughter, Mrs. Elmer Marshall, in Keene, while despondent 
because of an extended illness died early Wednesday at the Blodgett hospital at 
Grand Rapids where he was taken following the shooting.  Wines was found by his 
wife and daughter in the family car in the garage shortly after the women had 
heard the report of a gun.  The rifle lay at his side.  Several months ago he 
suffered a stroke and subsequent poor health is believed to have resulted in his 
act.

From the Ionia Sentinel-Standard - July 23, 1928:
Edwin Wines, 75, who has lived with his daughter, Mrs. Elmer Marshall of Keene, 
for three years, attempted suicide by shooting himself through the head Monday 
morning at 10 o’clock.  Mrs. Wines and daughter heard a rifle report and went 
into the yard to investigate and found him lying in the car with the rifle close 
by with a which he had attempted to take his own life.  A Saranac doctor was 
called and ordered the man taken to Blodgett hospital.

Mr. Wines has been in poor health several years and it is thought that 
despondency caused his act.  According to the family he has acted strangely for 
several days.  His condition is considered grave.
