Not sure what they did on Bonanza, as it never did really follow reality, but this is what happened to Henry Comstock:

Henry Comstock for whom the great discovery was named sold out his interests in the Ophir mine for $10,000. He would later claim in a rambling letter that the sale also included a one-eleventh share in the entire mine’ production in his lifetime, with an additional $100 per month guaranteed. Like his original claim of having recorded the 160 acres where Virginia City lay as a ranch, he had no written documents to back him up. He felt that he had been cheated and swindled. He stated in his letter that, "I am a regular born mountaineer, and did not know the intrigues of civilized rascality. I am not ashamed to acknowledge that." He finally reached the end of his rope outside of Bozeman, Montana September 27, 1870 and put a bullet in his own brain.

Prof Wickwire:  Thanks!

Don't happen to have a first or last name of "Trace".  Do ya?
I am a long way from my old Bonanza tapes & movies.  They're at home.  An' I'm on the road.

Know any other dead Bonanza characters?

Much obliged,
MG

Mustang Gregg,

I don't remember the character's full name, but I will see what I can dig up.

Much obliged, Professor! ;D ;D ;D

I found 2 names on a BONANZA website that features popular episodes!
I will use Billy Barker & Zach Krenshaw.

Thank you for the help, friends!
