"MRS. T. O. BONNER PASSED AWAY JANUARY 22

On the morning of January 22nd, 1919 the call of our Lord and Master came to Mrs. Elizabeth Bonner. Gently and easily her pure soul passed from the "Tabernacle of Clay" into the presence of Jesus, whom she loved and served with all the strength of her soul since childhood, and into the Beautiful City revealed to St. John from Patmos. It may be truthfully be said of her, she lived a life beautiful in quiet, unselfish service to others and without ostentation: bearing with Christian fortitude the cares and obligations that fell to her lot. She lightened the burdens of others by giving to the world cheerful words and smiles; never casting shadows over the lives of his friends by breathing into their ears her own crosses. At a very tender age the care of her motherless brothers and sisters one of whom is Mrs. G. W. Hodges of this town became her responsibility, which obligation was earnestly and faithfully discharged.
In the year 1867 she was married to T. O. Bonner. To them were born two sons, William T. and John Mack and a daughter, Mrs. Ella Boulware; the latter proceeding her mother by about two years. In Mrs. Bonner's latter years the care of four precious grandsons, children of William T. Bonner, became hers because of the passing away of the mother. Hence we say, here was a life beautiful, given to the service of others. Mrs. Bonner was born in Willis, Texas November 20, 1841. In early life she professed faith in the Savior. She was a member of the Presbyterian Church in Cheyenne."
