CHARLES AUGUST BONIG

Grantsville, Maryland

  Charles August Bonig, 74, a native of this community, died at his home at 
Cumberland, Friday, Dec. 13, after an illness of about five years.  He had been 
connected with the Railway Express for some twenty-five years, but retired five 
years ago because of ill health.  Mr. Bonig was born at Grantsville but had 
resided at Cumberland for a number of years.  Two of his sisters still reside 
here, Mrs. John Zehner and Mrs. Nettie Bill.  A third sister, Mrs. Minnie 
Peterson, resides at Rockford, Mich.  This is the fourth death in their family 
within a period of eleven months, two brothers-in-law, Charles Bill and Frank 
Peterson, and a sister-in-law, Mrs. Frazier, having died during that time.
  Mr. Bonig also leaves his wife, Mrs. Anna Schiller Bonig, three sons, Schiller 
C., and Charles H., Cumberland, and Paul Bonig, Monterey, Calif., three 
daughters, Mrs. Elizabeth B. Trenary, Noami  M., and Jeannette L. Bonig, all at 
home.
  Funeral services were conducted from the home Monday afternoon by Rev. Sharpe, 
after which the body was brought to Grantsville for interment in the family lot 
in the Grantsville Cemetery.  The Rev. Samuel D. Sigler, pastor of the local 
Lutheran church, held a brief service at the cemetery.
