Death Claims Bettie L. Bonnett Friday, February 3

Mrs. Bettie L. Bonnett, aged 69 years, died at the home of her daughter, Mrs.
A. B. Connor, Friday morning, February 3, at 11:30 o'clock.

Mrs. Bonnett has resided in Winn Parish practically her entire life.  She was
born in Ward 8 and has lived in several parts of the parish and has hosts of
friends in this community.

She has been ill for about one month with bronchial asthma and although her
suffering was intense she bore the pain with the same Christian-like patience
that characterized her life.

For many years she has been a devout member of the Methodist Church and was a
noble Christian and a devoted mother.

Funeral services were conducted at the Sanders Church near Calvin Saturday
afternoon at 2 o'clock by Dr. C. C. Wier, pastor of the Methodist Church and
Dr. S. B. Williams, pastor of the Presbyterian Church.

Mrs. Bonnett was the mother of eleven children, five of whom preceded her in
death, thirty two grandchildren, and ten great grandchildren.

The surviving children are two sons, Eric Bonnett of Atlanta and Joe Bonnett
of Monroe, and four daughters, Mittie Bonnett of Colfax, Mrs. Bessie Connor of
Winnfield, Mrs. Emily Hattox of Winnfield, and Mrs. Susie Page of Atlanta.

All of the sons and daughters were present when the end came, and the other
out of town relatives attending the funeral were Mr. and Mrs. W. P. Fortson,
and Mr. and Mrs. D. P. Graham of Shreveport, Mr. and Mrs. R. E. Strange of
Colfax, and Mr. Guy Bonnett of Natchitoches.
