    3. Bloomington (Bloomington, Monroe County, Indiana) Evening World, July12, 1910, p. 1. SUMMONS FOLLOWED BREAK OF DAWN Bonnie Louise Blakely's Struggle Ends in Death. POPULAR MATRON PASSES AWAY. Mrs. Bonnie Louise Blakely, wife of Charles Blakely, died this morning at six o'clock of diabetes at her home, east Seventh street. While her death was not unexpected, yet the news of her demise caused a great shock to her many friends. Mrs. Blakely had been in failing health for the past two months, though the nature of her ailment did not manifest itself until ten days ago, and since that time had been confined to her bed. All that medical science could do was resorted to, in order to alleviate her sufferings. Two days ago she realized that death was inevitable and calling her husband and other relatives to her bedside, bade them her last farewell. Mrs. Blakely's death is an unusually sad one because of her sage, and the the [sic] fact that she leaves a sweet boy babe but sixteen months of age. Bonnie Louise Blakely was born at Ellettsville December 27, 1887, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. A. May. She attended both the Ellettsville and Bloomington High Schools and was 21 years of age at the time of her death. She was wedded to Charles Blakely, November 5, 1907, and by this union one child, William C. Blakely, was born. She was a faithful member of the Church of Christ and is survived by a husband, her one child, a son, mother, Mrs. J. A. May and a sister, Mrs. Harry Harris, west Sixth street. The funeral will occur Wednesday afternoon at two o'clock from the family residence, east Seventh street, the services being in charge of the Rev. H. H. Adamson, pastor of the Church of Christ. Interment will follow at Rose Hill cemetery.
