Doctor R.S. Bonner Buried Monday, May 14

Fort Towson, May 18 -- Doctor R.S. Bonner, pioneer citizen and physician of this community died early Saturday morning last, and was buried in the Doaksville cemetery Monday. Burial services were conducted by the Masonic Fraternity of which he had been a member for a long time.
Doctor Bonner came to old Doaksville in 1899 and had lived continuously, and practiced medicine in this community since. He was a very valuable and useful citizen and his going will be a distinct loss to this community.
Doctor Bonner lacked but a few months of being 70 years of age, but had always been very active in his profession until a short time ago when his health failed him, but he continued to do considerable work rendering assistance to the needy.
Deceased is survived by his wife, and three daughter [sic] -- Mrs. Ed Winston, Mrs. Lee Noel and Mrs. Hazel Greene, and son Coleman, all of whom were here for the funeral except Coleman who could not be located.
