    "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."
