On November 21, 1937, Edd Robinson Bonner married Angie May Watson, daughter of Edward Monroe Watson, Sr. and Angelina Compton of Stewards Mill. She was born at Stewards Mill on October 14, 1919 and attended school at Steward Mill through fourth grade. Then the school was consolidated with Fairfield. Angie May graduated from Fairfield High School in 1936 as salutatorian. Other than a brief stint working at the state mental hospital in Waxahachie, Texas, she lived her entire life in Freestone County. Angie May battled plumpness all her life. She knew how to think logically and to apply what she knew, read, and learned. Her mousey-brown hair began to gray early and was totally gray by the time she was forty; after that, it turned whiter by the year. Her talents were in demand to serve as presiding officer and/or secretary/treasurer of many organizations. In fact, she found it difficult to "just be a member." Somewhat of a fire-ball and a go-getter, she was the emotional one in the marriage. In the spring of 1991, Angie May fell and broke her hip; falling and breaking the other hip in January of the next year severely curtailed her mobility. She developed other health problems and died at her home on September 24, 1995. She and Edd were parents of two sons; Michael Edd and William Andrew. Angie May was a past president of the Fairfield History Club and of the Freestone Country Club and Freestone County Museum. She was a past matron of Fairfield Chapter No. 331, Order of the Eastern Star and served the Grand Chapter of Texas in several capacities including Deputy Grand Matron, District I, Section 7; and Grand Representative to Delaware. A lifelong Methodist, Angie May was a member of First United Methodist Church in Fairfield. She taught Sunday School, served as president of the Woman's Society of Christian Service (now United Methodist Women), and represented the congregation at annual conference. After working at the State School in Wichita Falls, Angie May worked for Fairfield State Bank in the early 1940s. She kept the books for Fairfield Sales Company, the livestock auction. In the late 1950s, she began work in the Freestone County Tax Assessor-Collector's office. After that she worked in the office at Fairfield Hospital and then as secretary to the superintendent of Fairfield Independent School District. Angie May enjoyed vegetables. She could cook well but didn't enjoy it. She enjoyed eating strange combinations of foods together---turnip greens and chocolate cake. One of her favorite sayings was "Wanting and Getting are Two Different Things," and another was "It's good for you to do things you don't want to do."
