Associate Reformed Presbyterian newspaper, [Unknown Date]

"Mrs. Susan Bonner

Mrs. Susan Bonner was born April 4, 1835, died August 17th, 1897.  She was the
wife of Andrew Bonner, deceased, a sister of Rev. T. J. Bonner.  She was a
devoted member of the A.R.P. church, a meek and humble Christian.  With a kind
and sympathetic nature, she always had a pleasant face and a good word for
everybody.  She leaves four children, two sons and two daughters, and many
friends to mourn her loss.

W. L. P."  [Reverend William Little Patterson, pastor of Harmony A. R. P.
church in Freestone Co., TX.]

Fairfield Recorder - August 20, 1897

"Tribute of Respect

Mrs. Sue Bonner died at her residence near Stewards Mill, Tuesday August 17,
1897, aged 62.   She was the widow of Mr. Andrew Bonner, who died soon after
the war.  Mrs. Bonner was born in Wilcox County, Alabama and came to this
county about 1857.  She was a sister of Mrs. Arch Huckaby [Keziah Bonner] of
this place [Fairfield, Freestone Co., TX.];  Mrs. Mary McCrery [Mary Bonner] of
Stewards Mill, and Mrs. J. I. Bonner [Martha Bonner] of Corsciana.  The
deceased had been in bad health for many months and her death was not
unexpected.  She was a Chrisitian lady and a member of the Associate Reformed
Presbyterian Church.  Her remains were interred in the old Bonner family
graveyard, three miles from Stewards Mill.  Rev. W. L. Patterson [Reverend
William Little Patterson, pastor of Harmony A. R. P. church in Freestone Co.,
TX.] officiating.

She leaves to mourn her loss four children - two sons and two daughters -
besides a large number of relatives and friends in this and Navarro Counties.

Thus are gradually passing away the old residents of our county, those who came
from other States years before the war, and helped build it up and develop it
when it needed good citizens."
