Norfolk Virginian April 20, 1879

                       Death of Col. Wilson M. Bonney

The numerous friends of this gentleman will be deeply pained to learn of his 
demise. The sad event took place at his residence on Cumberland Street yesterday 
after a lingering illness of several months.  Col. Bonney was widely known from 
the active part he took in public matters. He has, on frequent occasions, served 
the city as a  member of the councils and has several times been elected to the 
office of magistrate in both of which positions he served the city with 
fidelity. He was truly a public spirited man, and always gave his time and 
whatever of talent he possessed to every measure that tendered to advance the 
interest of Norfolk in her local government as well as in a commercial point. He 
died in the bosom of his family peacefully and with a steadfast faith in his 
Redeemer. His funeral will take place from the Granby Street M.E. Church 
tomorrow (Monday afternoon) at 4:30 o'clock.
