ANDREW BONNER DIES AT AGE OF 94

Andrew Bonner, who was 94 years old Feb. 14 past, died Saturday, June 27, 1908, at the home of his grandson Alva Bonner, near Pittsburg, this county. The funeral was held Sunday, the burial being in the Pittsburg cemetery. He was the father of Mrs. David Clemens of Keosauqua, and came to Van Buren county in 1856. His wife died many years ago. He was perhaps the oldest man in Van Buren county when death called him. An obituary will appear next week.

(Photocopy of this obit is located on page 148 of Obit Book "A" found in the Van Buren County, IA Genealogical Society's collection at the Keosauqua Public Library in Oct 2000. Name of newspaper and date of obit not given.)

I am NOT related and am posting this obit for those who may find this person in their family history.
