The (Cooperstown) Otsego Farmer of January 5, 1934 did announce the death of Margaret Cary Bonner, age 79, on September 8, 1933, in its annual listing of deaths in the Village of Cooperstown. The Otsego Farmer of September 15, 1933 carried an extensive obituary of Margaret Cary Bonner, including the presence of her daughter Mary at her deathbed -- this can be found on http://www.fultonhistory.com/Fulton.html or I can transcribe it for you if you wish. But its coverage of the Otsego Farmer only goes through 1962. I gather that Mary Graham Bonner, the author, died on February 13, 1974 in New York City. As you no doubt know, the NY Times obituary does not indicate where she was buried. Nor does what appears to be Eugene E. Early's obit from October 1, 1956, but it does not mention Mary Graham Bonner. I can refer you to local researchers if you would like a physical search of the Cooperstown Newspapers (notably for the period, the Otsego Farmer and the Freeman's Journal) in for 1974 and 1956 (they are available on microfilm, and in hard copy, at the Research Library of the New York State Historical Association (NYSHA) in Cooperstown http://library.nysha.org/entry_list.asp I have inquired of NYSHA as to any Cemetery Records (after 1900) that they may have.
