Biography
George Winker was also a well-driller. On January 6, 1904, he was carrying dynamite from the warm kitchen to the cold outside. The sudden temperature change apparently caused the dynamite to explode and he was killed instantly. Buried at St. Thomas Aquinas Cemetery, De Smet, South Dakota.
