"Tribute to Mrs. Martha Bonner

Entered into life.

After seven long months of sufffering, rest - God's rest - came to Mrs. Martha
Bonner.

Hers was a life of which truth, service, charity and Christianity were the
keynote.  Tho' an earnest and consistent member of Presbyterian church, Mrs.
Bonner did not confine her good deeds to the members of any religious faith.
Her generous Christian heart full of milk of
human kindess, responded promptly to every cry of suffering and distress.  If
but one rose could be offered by each whose life has been brightened by her, a
mountain of flowers would rise above the newly made grave.

Mrs. Bonner was a native of Alabama, having been born in Wilcox County.  Of two
sons and four daughters born to the union, the sons, Mr. J. A. [James Andrew]
Bonner of Eureka, Mr. W. P. [William Pierre] Bonner of Wichita Falls, and two
daughters, Mrs. W. B. [William Walter Brice] Robinson of Palestine, and Mrs. A.
D. [A. Dowan] Anderson of Fairfield, now remain.  The father, two sisters, and
now the dear mother, have finished their day's work, but not their lives.  The
soul, freed from the body, has returned to the God who gave it - to the land of
eternal day, peace and joy...."
