Bourne, William B. NI July 26, 1874 p2cl: Suicide. Wm. B. Bourne, of
San Francisco ended his existence with his own hand on Friday. He was
one of the wealthiest men in San Francisco. He was an owner in the
Pittsburg mine, near this city, of the Empire mine in GV, and we
believe was largely interested in many other mines of the coast. His
wealth must be enormous, probably reaching into the millions. What
actuated him to the commission of the deed we are not informed. Mr.
Walrath received a telegram on Friday evening, stating the facts of
the suicide, and to him we are indebted for the information.

NJ October 13, 1854: Gives a great annual festival to the

NI October 19, 1871 p3cl: Suicide of David Bovyer. About eight o'
clock on Saturday evening, at San Francisco, the mate of the ship
STEILACOOM found a man lying among the lumber at the foot of Market
street wharf. He looked sick and in distress, and the mate addressed
him, inquiring of him if he wanted assistance. He said he did not and
spoke very rationally. The mate then turned to leave him, when the man
rushed by him and plunged headlong into the Bay. A plank was thrown
him, and he made no attempt to save himself with it, but cried out,
"My God! O, my God!" and sunk out of sight,. The suicide was David
Bovyer, well known in the early history of this county, where there
are many of his friends to mourn his untimely end. Bovyer came to
California in the ship EDWARD EVERETT arriving in July 1849. He came
to this county late in 1849, and established himself near Newtown as
a trader with the Indians and miners at Bovyer's ranch. He
subsequently constructed a valuable water ditch leading out of Deer
Creek, and after several years litigation with the Excelsior Company,
obtained a decree establishing his priorty to the use of the water of
that stream.
He subsequently consolidated his property with that company's and
afterwards sold out and went to San Francisco. He was at one time very
wealthy, and was known and liked for his liberality and uprightness.
In San Francisco he speculated in greenbacks, stocks etc., and was by
turns wealthy and poor. Business embarrassments and ill health were
probably the cause of the mental aberration under which he killed
himself. Lately he has busied himself settling his business and making
other singular transactions, so that his friends suspected that he
intended committing suicide. His physician, for a precautionary
measure, induced him to go to the Hospital. Parties were engaged to
take him there, but while the Doctor was making the final arrangements
Bovyer slipped away from them, and was not seen afterwards except by
the mate of the STEILACOOM.
