AKRON: (Special Correspondence)

Wm. E. Bonney died Friday morning at his home five miles northwest of town
of old age having arrived at the 78th milestone of life. Mr. Bonney was a
pioneer in the Big Sioux Valley and was well known in this vicinity. He came
here quite early in the "sixties" settling on the farm where he spent the
remainder of his days. The deceased leaves four sons, Will and Clarence of
Sioux Valley township, S.D., George of Pageville, Mont., and Frank Bonney of
Akron. His funeral was held from the Mt. Hope school house Sunday afternoon
where the remains were also interred beside those of his wife who preceded
him quite a few years ago.
