"Pulaski's oldest builder, John W. Bonney, has died at his home on Lincoln Ave. In 1917 Mr Bonney's woodworking factory on Port St. was destroyed by fire. Associated with him in the woodworking and contracting business were three of his four sons, G. Addison, Frank A. Bonney and Eugene E. Bonney. A fourth son, Claude Lewis Bonney, is a machinist in the employ of the Regal Paper Co. Among homes and business blocks here which stand as monuments to the craftmanship of Mr. Bonney and his sons are the homes of Judge Clayton Miller on Park St., C.H. Brooks on North St., the Franklin Block and F. P. Betts block, rebuilt after fire of 1916. Bearers at Mr. Bonney's funeral were grandson and grandsons-in-law John, George and Howard Bonney, George Corse, Lawrence Valley and Joseph Heckle Jr." Another obituary mentions Jessie Fillmore as a bearer.
Also, "At the time of the World War he was engaged in building barracks and military quarters, and it was while in this business that his shop, located where the G. L. F. Building now is, was destroyed by an explosion and fire, probably of incendiary origin.
"He traced his ancestry back to Scotland although his family had been early settlers in America and many of them took a distinguished part in the Revolution and other wars in which this country engaged.
