The Banner mention on Friday a

occurred at Hamilton, o.
The Columbus Dispatch on Friday
evening gives the following account
of her death, which will be received
with sorrow by her many friends in
Mt. Vernon:
Mrs. Fannie Beal Bonebrake, 1908
Franklin avenue, wife of Lewis d.
Bonebrake, former state school COM
missioner, fell down flight of stairs
at the residence of Peter Kumler at
Hamilton, o., Thursday night, re-
ceiving injuries from which she died
early Friday morning.
The family had made all arrange
ments to move to Indianapolis, Pro-
.fessor Bronebrake having recently
been elected president of the Indiana
Central university of that place, and
after packing up all their goods, Mrs.
Bonebrake left Columbus Monday
with her mother, Mrs. Beal, for Ham
ilton to attend the reunion of the
members of the Kumler, Flickinger
and Bonebrake families.
Mrs. Bonebrake had shown apoplec-
tic tendencies for some time and rela-
tives here were not altogether sur
prised at the news of the accident.
She has but one child, daughter,
Margaret, aged %, who is to graduate
next week from the university of
which her father is the president
| Professor Bonebrake did not attend
the reunion at Hamilton, being busy
with the details of the commencement
and especially with the preparation Of
his address which was to be in the
nature of an inaugural. The COM
mencement exercises begin Sunday
with the baccalaureate sermon and
Mrs. Bonebrake and her mothere were
expecting to leave Hamilton Saturday
for Indianapolis to attend the COM
mencement.
The close of the first year under
| the administration of Professor Bone
brake and the graduation of their
daughter made the occasion a glad
one, and the members of the family
were looking forward to week of
pleasure, which the sudden death of
Mrs, Bonebrake turns into sorrow.
Mrs. Bonebrake was SO years old.
She was born and reared near Hamil-
ton, SO that she died where her first
years were passed.
Professor Bonebrake was called to
Hamilton late Thursday evening but
Mrs. Bonebrake had passed away be-
fore he arrived. Her daughter was
called later and she left for Hamilton
Friday morning. In communication
with his brother, Charles e. Bone
brake, Friday morning, President
Bonebrake said that Mrs. Bonebrake s
death was not due to the fall; in fact
she did not fall down flight of stairs
as stated in the first dispatch, but that
she suffered an attack of apoplexy
She had premonitions of it and hel
father was victim of the same trou
BILE.
Mrs. Bonebrake, like her husband
was a graduate of Otterbein universi
ty-he in the class of 1882 and she il
that of 1884. They were married {
few weeks after her graduation. Fo

dents of Mt. Vernon, where he wa'

ment will be made there by the sid
