From the 1 Aug 1939 edition of the Oswego Palladium: "Mrs. Harriet E. Bonney, widow of John W. Bonney, died late Monday afternoon at the home of her son, Frank Bonney,chief of the Ringgold Fire Company, in south Jefferson Street after an illness of about six months. She was the daughter of Rodney and Sophia Lewis, descendents of early pioneers, and traced her ancestry back to Hannah Dustin, a heroine of the French and Indian War. She was born in Orwell, March 10, 1856, and spent her early life there. After her marriage to Mr. Bonney in 1873 she moved with him to Pulaski. He died four years ago.

"She was a member of the Pulaski Baptist Church, and was active in the various church activities as health permitted. She was also a member of the Ontario Chapter DAR and the J.B. Butler Post, WRC.

"She is survived by three sons, Frank and Claude Bonney of Pulaski and Eugene Bonney of Syracuse; a sister in Canastota; and a number of grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

"Funeral services will be held privately from the home of Frank Bonney at 2 o'clock Wednesday afternoon and burial will be in Pulaski cemetery. Friends may call Wednesday morning."
