Fred Bonney, 72, president of the Mutual Federal Savings and Loan Association, dies in his office at 10:20 o’clock yesterday morning, apparently from an embolism.

He was secretary of the board of trustees and an elder of the First Presbyterian Church. During the Third War loan campaign just ended, Mr. Bonney served as Norfolk chairman for the committee of the Virginia League of Building and Loan Association. Born in Princess Anne County, Mr. Bonney was a son of Claudius W. and Margaret H. Bonney. He is survived by his wife, Mrs. Claudia Prieur Bonney; one son, Maj. Frederick Prieur Bonney, USA, now stationed in Washington, three sisters, Mrs. Baker Hoskins, of Wellington, Texas; Mrs. John McPherson, of Athens, Ga., and Mrs. W.V. Davis, of Savannah, Ga.; one brother, E.K. Bonney, of Savannah, and several nieces and nephews. Funeral services will be held at noon tomorrow in the chapel of the H.D.
