- Newspaper Obituary - Wednesday, July 24, 1912 Pulaski Democrat - Pulaski, New York - John F. Bonner - In the passing away of John F. Bonner, which occurred at his home at Orwell, New York, Friday evening, July 12, the community lost a valuable and respected citizen, and the church a loyal and substantial friend. The departed was born June 10, 1846, in the town of Orwell, being the son of John and Maria Burkett Bonner, whose ancestors came from England during the American Revolution, and were participants in the struggle for independence. On August 12, 1866, he was united in marriage to Miss Hannah Beadle, who with two children, Mrs. Gilbert Hadley, of Sandy Creek, and Clarence, of Ellisburg, survive him. During the Civil War, he enlisted in Company E, 189th Regiment Infantry, and remained in the ranks until the rebellion was put down and after being honorably discharged, returned to his native town, to be engaged in his former occupation of farming. The immediate cause of death was due to arterial hardening with other complications incident to exposed military life. His funeral was held at his late home Monday, July 15, Revs. Harvey and T. T. Davies officiating. Interment in the family lot in Evergreen cemetery. The departed was an excellent man in many ways. His life was dominated by noble and high ideals. He was sober, industrious and true. He shall be missed in many circles. The home where he was a devoted husband and father, and the church where he filled the office of deacon, have sustained a loss by his departure that is well-nigh irreparable. Again and again we heard his associates and friends referring to his noble character and splendid devotion to duty, the day that he was buried. He was a good and faithful servant of Jesus Christ, and now he has entered into rest.
