/ Wills Franklin Bonney, the subject O.
this sketch, was born in East FeIicians
parish, La, July End, 1865, and was tn,
fifth child OF Benjamin Franklin Bon
.ney and Sarah Moore. He died July 9TH
1914, and tho his passing has swept 1
dark shadow across many firesides, thu
radience OF his memory CLEANS like sill
yer lining which Death cannot destroy
In infancy, his parents moved to Ten.
sas parish, and here he spent his child.
hood, his boyhood. and here imbibed the
attributes Of which honorable men are
moulded.
His Life was gentle. and the elements
So mixed In him, that Nature might stand up
And say to all the world, This was Mani .
Born in the blessed environment OF
culture, refinement, and christian love, his
childhood was passed amid ideal surround
ings. No luxurious ediiice sheltered him,
no lavish feasts graced the board, but
he responded to parental guidance with
obedience and love, and the daily COM
mnnion of this household was one of
peace and content. He enjoyed the cher
lshed influence Of Christian father, and
the excellent example of sainted moth
er, whose sad demise WAS the first rift in
this devoted family. Tho she passed
from us in lS92-the memory of her
wonderful smile, and the knowledge of
her great Interpretation Of motherhood,
has been an inspiration throughout these
years.
In 1889 Willis migrated to Pueblo,
Colorado, where he has since resided,
married and made for himself q place in
the social and business world NOW a
vacancy, which cannot be filed.
His life was like closed book, rather
Il human epic. OF attractive exterior, but
to the few who read therein, it revealed
wide fund of information, revelation
Of principle, and a plot where love, JUS
tice, and unfaltering devotion to his home
circle were delicately interviewer. His
pathway was straight. No deviation from
the instruction OF his childhood. and
tho he was not spared suffering, he
marched bravely up to the very bulwarks
of Death, cheered those around him, sent
messages to the absent ones, and even
then-did not go down to defeat-but
like soldier of the Cross, bore his ban
ner to the summit,-and so--passed into
Victory.
He has left devoted wife to treasure
his loving care, and manly son to bear
his unsullied name to posterity. A heirit-
age to be cherished, all inspiration to be
coveted, and an influence which is un-
dying.
He has passed from US as living per-
sonage, but his genial manner, faithful
friendship, and family devotion has
reared monument in loving hearts more
lasting than towering shaft or carved
marble.
but In farther skies
through breaking mists, what shining
heights may rise
And In great quietness he shall abide,
With Home the other side!''
