The Washington Republican Washington County Friday March 8, 1901 Obituary. Mrs. Mattie BONAR, nee GARTIN, was born in Lucas Co., Iowa, Nov. 18, 1852. She was united in marriage with S.M. BONAR, Sept. 18, 1877, and departed thi slife in the hope of a blissful immortality, March 3, 1901, aged 48 years, 3 months and 15 days. To Mr. and Mrs. BONAR were born five sons and one daughter, who are left to mourn the loss of a mother. Mrs. BONAR was a devoted and effectionate wife, a loving mother and was appreciated as a neighbor. At the age of 14 she united with the Baptist church, after her marriage she joined the Methodist Prostesant church to which her husband belonged, and three years ago (as there was no longer any M.P. organization in the neighborhood) they united with the Wesleyan church of which she was a member at the time of her death. The departed sister was a sincere devoted Christian. She was desirous of enjoying all that the grace of God had in store for her, and professed to have peace and joy in the service of her Master. She has now gone to meet Him whom she so faithfully served, to obtain her eternal reward. May God comfort and sustain the bereaved husband and children and grant them a happy reunion in the kingdom of glory. The funeral service took place Monday, March 4, from the Enosdale Friends church, conducted by Rev. SCHUERMAN of this city.
