[1523] The First Church (Presbyterian) in Fermanagh, Pennsylvania was
orgnized on James' land at "the meeting place in the woods". It
was known as the "Old Seceeder Church and Burying Grounds". In
1970 it then known as the Adams Cemetery.
His estate was administered by his son-in-law Thomas Ghormley,
the husband of Judith Bonner. His heirs received the transfer
of Thomas Ghormley lan in Walker Township, Juniata Co., for 67
cents. They in turn sold the land to the heirs of Samuel
Custer.
[1524] The family tradition is that the family is of Scotch-Irish
ancestry though nothing is known of the family before arriving
in America. The supposition is based on some early references
to the family among the Scots-Irish and their membership in the
Presbyterian church for many generations.
In the "Surnames of County Donegal" by Arthur Spears that
appeared in "Irish Roots Magazine" Issue 2, 1995 pages 27-29
there is this information about the surnames Crampsey, Bonner.
"Crampsey, Crashy, Boner, Bonar, Bonnar are names which, when
totalled, are quite high on the list of County Donegal names.
The names are particularly evocative of the county. McLysaght
gives these names little attention and then only under
Kneafsey, a form unknown in Donegal. McCrampsey, O'Crawsey are
also believed absent today. Formerly, the name approximating to
these forms was usually spelled Crampsey in Donegal, but by far
the more usual was Bonner or Boner and is so today. On the face
of it, the Gaelic Cnamsighe seems to connote something like
"Boneman" in English (cnamh, accent over the a, is the Irish
for 'bone'). The user of Bonner especially, but also to some
degree Boner, as anglicised, was probably to avoid the
suggestion that the holders might be of the knacker trade. It
is suggested that the name may derive from an old Irish word
for priest 'Cruimthir' the suffix 'thir' being easily
interchangeable with 'sighe'. The alternative derivation seems
doubtful unless it has some reference to a skeletal ancestor,
hardly someone to be proud of.
In Ulster the Bonner, Bonnar forms are most commonley met with.
Besides the Irishowen part of County Donegal, it is
concentrated in Derry and in Counties Londonderry and Tyrone.
Dublin has one Cramsie in the telephone directory and a small
number of Boner/Bonners. The family are apparently not given to
roving. No doubt they emigrated to America in the early
seventeenth century as did many others and the name will appear
there in any of its several forms including Neaphsey or
O'Crawsey as well.

[1727] His obituary in the New York Times reads: James F. Bonner, 86,
Biologist Who Studied Gene Regulation. By Karen Freeman.
James F. Bonner, a molecular biologist whose interest ranged
from the intricacies of gene regulation to ways in which
agriculture could better provide for the world's needs, died on
Friday at a nursing home in Pasadena, Calif. He was 86 and
lived in South Pasadena.
Dr. Bonner, professor emeritus of biology at the California
Institute of Technology and a member of the National Acedemy of
Scienes, was known for discoveries in plant biochemistry and
for work on how plant and, later, animal genes are switched on
and off.
He also helped move science from the laboratory into public
forums, writing and speaking about such issues as world
resources in this century and the next and how molecular
biology could improve people's lives. He had great faith in
science's ability to increase food production, but he was
concerned about inequality in the allocation of resources. Four
of his 10 books were on these public policy issues: the rest
were on plant biochemistry and development.
His practical bent led him to develop a better way to collect
natrual rubber from trees, which helped Malaysia nearly double
its production, and he helped invent a widely used method for
harvesting oranges mechanically.
James Frederick Bonner was born to two chemists in Ansley,
Neb. on Sep 1, 1910. He received a bachelor's degree in
chemistry and mathematics from the University of Utah in 1931.
Three years later, hereceived a PH.D. in biology from Caltech,
a center for the study of the new molecular biology. He joined
the faculty there in 1936.
In the 1930's, Dr. Bonner and his colleagues performed
classic experiments on the timing of flowering, said Dr. Elliot
M. Meyerowitz, a biology professor at Caltech. Dr. Bonner
showed that some plants needed a long night to flower and that
a flash of light in the dark cycle could derail the entire
process. Grafting experiments showed that the signal was
received in the leaves and was traansmitted to the part of the
plant where flowers would form.
Dr. Bonner was drawn into work on gene regulation by his
curiosity about developing organisms. "If biologists can learn
to turn the genes off and on," he wrote in The Saturday Evening
Post in 1961, "they will have taken the first step toward
controlling the development of the fertrilized egg into an
adult organism. With such knowledge, we could remedy defects as
they appear in the developing child, replace worn-out organs
and perhaps even initiate embryonic development in cells
removed from the adult body."
He found that proteins in the cell nucleus, called histones,
were responsible for turning genes off and that plant hormones
intereacted with the histones.
Dr. Bonner was married to Ingelore Bonner, who worked with
him and died in 1995. He is survived by two children from a
previous marriage, a daughter, Dr. Joey Bonner of Bryn Mawr,
PA., and a son, Dr. James Jose, of Bloomington, Ind.; two
stepdaughters, Pamela Mandel of Alexandria, VA., and Terry
Mandel of San Francisco; three brtohers, Dr. Francis Bonner of
Setauket, L.I., Dr. Lyman Bonner of Pasadena and Robert Bonner
or Houston; a sister, Priscilla Horton of Salt Lake City, and a
grandson.

[1609] Family legend says that when James was about four years old he
was stolen by gypsies and rescued by his sister Margaret. In
any case, he was a merchant miller with a feed store on Water
street, a farmer, and a saw mill operator. The Chillicothe City
Directory lists
Bonner, J.T. west end of 5th, foot of Old Limestone Road.
Bonner & Steel - wholesale, retail grocers, manufacturers, &
dealers in flours, feeds, etc. NS Water opposite the Clinton
House.
He was an elder and member of the Third Presbyterian Church and
in 1868 part of the movement that saw the church withdraw from
the United Presbyterian Synod and join the Synod of the Old
School Church. That session included James T. Bonner and the
minister was Rev. William H. Prestley. Church historians
describe him as "a through going Presbyterian, positive in his
convictions, and controlled in his life be sense of duty." In
his family there were five generations who were active in the
Third Church. He himself was ordained an elder in 2 Apr 1865
and attended Presbytery 9 Apr 1872.
The following letter was written by him to his son James Toy
Bonner in 1864:
Homer, January 7, 1884
Dear son
We received your letter a shorttime since and are always glad
to hear from you all and would like to hear more frequently
than we do. Since I wrote last Mother Bonner has had quite a
sick spell was confined to bed for about two weeks and house
another. Doctor was up four or five times. Severe pains through
her breast and side. Some fever. (?), saidwas neuralgy. Seems
to be in all her usual health now. I had my hands full to
attend to the cows, milk, churn up butter, and all pertaining
there to. Churn twice a week. 9, 10 lbs. at a churning - if I
had not been clear of the store I don't see how I could have
gotten through but there is always someway provided for all who
desire to love and serve God.
We have had a very cold spell for a few days down to 20 below
zero. Not quite so bad today. Have had lots of snow. Gout our
ice put in Saturday so it may moderate as soon as it pleases
and I hope soon. I am so poor and thin in flesh I cannot stand
the cold. I am much better than I was ssome time since and for
two years I quit. But my stomach is not right by a long piece
but I hope that I may improve gradually.
I have been very unwell for a long time and it has nockd the
bottom out of my business and my income and put me in debt. I
was not able to be out of bed all the time for the last year
and if Will had not come and taken charge of affairs I would
have had to quit business. I feel under great obligation to the
sons for coming to my help. Will left a good situation one he
liked and a good salary. We had to borrow money here to get
under headway again. The mill machinery he put in works very
nice and is worth one thousand dollars all attachments. The
only trouble with it is it is expensive power but is nice -
always ready when called on. The water passes through a meter
and we pay for waht is used. Will has more orders coming in for
feed grain and meal than he can fill for the present until he
gets under headway - and I hope he may bring it out all right.
I do hate to be in debt and have my name to obligations
promising to pay. Money can be had here on mortgage but not
likely any one would on property out west. I don't want you to
think we would do more for Jo and Will than for others but
consider that all we have was accumulated by getting a start on
our feet by their mothers means as I had nothing left at all
when the foundry blowed up and what we have was made by great
labor and most rigid economy on our part.
The holidays are past again and we another year nearer our
eternal home. Oh may we all do and be better if spared to see
another New Year - Christmas Day we were at home by ourselves,
had a good turkey dinner gotten us by family - New Years day we
had Jo C(?) B and family with us. Had a pleasant day a good
turkey dinner by mother - Jo has been traveling for the past 6
or 8 weeks drummming their business. They do a good business
work 75 hands now - Nelly and baby stay with her aunt Dolly
Turner in Circleville. He expects to travel until February.
Sleeping car all night and work all day - a great change in
traveling in the last 50 years.
We hope and trust you all keep well this winter. Henrys family
also let him read this letter if you please. I want to write
oftener after while, now it takes nearly all my time to attend
to the cows, 2 calves andlots of chickens. -Tuesday morning had
another big snow last night, about 6 inches, near a foot now -
there is no particular news that I have heard. I have not been
down town but once a little bit for a month. Will is busy and I
don;t hear much. If you put in your machine do hope you may do
well. We all send you our New Years happy greeting. Our best
love to all, Henrys family included. As ever your most
affectionate father.
Jas T. Bonner
Jame died soon after this letter. He clearly felt obligated to
his sons by his second wife for their assistance in running the
business. That feeling was not shared by the children of the
first wife. This is very evident in a letter written by his son
James Toy Bonner to his wife when Toy was in Chillicothe for
his father's funeral and to claim his inheritance as the eldest
son.
May 13, 1884
Dearest Wife.
I received your very kind letter yesterday. I was very glad to
get it. I think you got a nice picture of Walter and Hattie.
Bessie's don't look quite natural. I am proud of them and I
take great delight in showing them to my friends. I got a nice
presenty from some friend last night for Walter and Hattie. Iam
going to make quite a box to send home. Henry and Mary started
for Iowa yesterday. Mother dont want me to go yet so I will not
get home before next week. Father made a will, a most unjust
one, everything is left to mother and at her death Will gets it
all. But they have got Father so involved that there will be
nothing left by that time. Will's wife is terribly extravagant.
I thought I would like her but the more I see of her the less I
think of her. I wont tell you anything before I get home. I
dread coming home and shouldering my heavy load again, but I
dont think Iam a coward. I must go ahead with out ever thinking
of getting anything except what I make by my own energy and
care - with you assistance -. I want my babies so much. I wish
you could be here but I dont suppose I will ever come home
again. It is not home anymore. I hope more flowers come through
nicely. You need not answer this for I will start for hime
either Friday or Saturday. Jos wants me to go andsee him. It
will not cost any more, I may go that way rather than through
Indianapolis. I have seen Lizzie but I will never call on her.
I can't bear her. Iam thankfull that I have been saved from
such a wife. I will wait until I get home to tell you the rest.
Your affectionate husband
James T. Bonner
Kiss the children for me, Walter, Kitten and Bessie. Kiss
yourself for me.
[1612] 1182The sole heir was William Thompson after Anna Bonner's
death.
[11452] The Chillicothe Probate Court does not have any record of a
wedding between James T. Bonner and Caroline C. Herrick from
1838 through 1841.

[1649] In 1886 he had "Kansas Fever". He was cabinetmaker and the
first Secretary for the Undertakers Association in Nebraska.
[1653] south of Columbus about 10 milesAccording to Wayne Farwell,
James had a farm. They eventually had a water powered mill and
James built an octagonal barn. People in the area thought he
was crazy but the design made good sense. One could pitch hay
down into the center and easily reach a section of cows or the
horses. He left the farm in the late 1800s seeking construction
work in order to help pay for the farm. He continued to send
money home for payments.
Wall Street, Colo, Aug 11 02
Dear folks at home:
Well this month is almost half gone this Monday eve and if I
write every nite I can perhaps tell you something. I feel a
good deal like Hattie I want to go home. But I can't see my way
clear yet. You will get enough notices between now and Sept 1st
to scare you. There's at least $2 to pay then and I know you
have not the money to meet them. I will send you all I can
possibly raise. If you can raise any so much the better. There
will be $100 to pay Oct. 1st. as this seems to be the only
chance to make money I had better star as long as I can. I wish
so much we could sell the farm, but then Providence has
something better for us. I don't want to sell any of the crop
of the farm. If we have a nice lot of hogs we can make more by
holding and feeding the crop. How much will you get on the
pasture, I had better let Mike had it for $45.
I expect I forgot Saturday was Trues birthday. Iam going to
Boulder Saturday and spend Sabbath with Walter and I will see
if I can't find something nice for him even if it is late. I
wrote the other letter expecting to write some more when I got
the money order but Walter was sick and I was talking business
with him so I did not have time and I had him get the order and
send the letter as it was. I wrote you in a previous letter to
pay the interest note and if there was anything left to give it
to Kinsman. As you wrote me you expected to pay part of the
interest.
I am sorry you are looking so old you must not worry as you
told me so often. I want you to look a fresh and blooming as a
young girl when I get home. I am glad I am mistaken about Axel.
I may be about the tobacco, I saw him take a drink out of a
bottle that was passed around. That is all I know. Two
preachers sons-in-laws is almost too much don't you think?
They have Sunday School here every Sabbath. Yesterday they had
42 in attendance. The preacher is a young man, preaches in the
vening makes the Sabbath school long. In the evening the house
is full. You would be surprised at the conduct of the young
people - they talk and laugh almost out loud. I don't like the
way the preacher does but maybe he knows better than I do, how
to draw them. There is not much gospel in them. He is a very
good offhand talker. I dont know how long he has been
preaching. I went to prayer meeting last Friday. There was a
very good attendance. There is one good thing here there is no
saloon. I dont see many children but on Sabbath they come out
from somewhere.
I think Mrs. Kummer will find the way of the transgressor is
hard before she is thru.
I suppose about the first thing I will have to do when I get
home is to fix the head race. The banks were washed so badly
during the high water that I dont suppose the boys are able to
do much toward fixing them.
I took a walk up on the mountain yesterday there are many mines
that are not working not enough ore to pay. I would rather have
our farm than most of the gold mines. There has been more money
put into the ground here than has even been taken out. One of
the mines is on top of the peak and there is a nice home there.
You can set on the porch and look east for miles down thru the
canyon. The range seems to have a fascination for me. I like to
get up where I can see the snow covered peaks.
(Tuesday) I have been building stairs almost all day and I am
pretty tired. I am not very well today. I am very bilious, have
ever since I came here. I must get some wild sage. They say
that it is the best thing for that. There are oceans of it
here. I wish I could change my boarding place. Things are
cooked over too much to suit me. They have enough boarders to
set a better table than they do. I guess you are tired of my
finding fault with my hash. Maybe if I had a good appetite
things would be different. I guess I will quit until I have
something to say besides finding fault.
(Wednesday) Well I had a piece of good news today. My wages
have been advanced commending tomorrow so I will get $3.50
after this. I believe I will have Walter come home and he and
the boys can fix up the pond and the race and anything you see
needs to be done. You can shut the water out two days in the
week and let them do what they can. That way perhaps you will
be able to get more water. I will stay until Oct. 31. I will
let him have $25 of my wages, he will be at home and have a
good rest. I am afraid if he stays where he is he will not be
fit to go back to school. Of course we need the money but after
studying the matter over I think this will be the best for us
all. I think our business will increase and we must have water
to run the mill. Of course if we could sell the farm we could
do different but according to your letter of today there seems
to be no prospect of doing that. I charged $4 for the season or
$1 per month for less than season for horses. Brewer was to cut
down the weeds and keep the orchard clean, perhaps he willl
deny but I told him very distinctly that I wanted it done. I
hope next year we can rent for cash rent. But I suppose our
good neighbors will not let us rent at all if they can help it.
This seems to be a good year for babies. I a'el (?) will have
to go away back and sit down after that boy. I am going to
Boulder Saturday and if Walter will consent, I will have him go
home next week. He will not let Brewer back you down I think.
Don't let Kinsman bulldoze you in the school board. The law is
very plain as to your duties and priveledges and he and Bill
cannot run things as they please because you are a woman.
I will send you $20 Saturday in this letter. If you don't need
it specially you can pay it to Kinsman. If you can pay $5 on
that note at the First National at Columbus pay the interest
and renew the balance for 60 days by that time we can likely
pay it.
I am glad your flowers are doing so well. I hope we may have a
nice lot of them next year.
I don't believe Hattie ought to take the place at Weavers. I
would much rather if we can that she and Ernest get rooms and
batch. If Bessie can get a good place she might work for her
board. But I am afraid that Hattie cannot stand it. But time is
short - you can do what you think best under all the
circumstances.
We must try and fix up our ice house and put more ice next
winter. The children would have thought it was 4th of July if
they had been here today. They were breaking up some big rock
at th mill and the blasts sounded like cannon. I have been
able to get some fine gold ore today. They are not very
valuable but they show the ore formation. I have a nice lot of
specimens. I may send them home with Walter if he goes.
I think I will like it better here now that Supt. seems to
place more confidence in me. If I do say so myself, I know I am
better workman than the boss carpenter. He is better o na frame
but that is all. I don't expect to be the boss but I will get
better work as well as better pay. If I stay here I will know
better how to fix our own plant when we get ready.
I feel better today, I got a couple of lemons yesterday are one
will eat the other today. I think I will eat one a day for a
week and see if they won't cure me. There is a big Elk picnic
tomorrow at Mount Alta. I wish I could go but I have only 15
cents so I will have to stay home like a good little boy. I
wanted to to the ice cream social but I only had 25 cents and
that had to last me 2 weeks so I did without ice cream. You can
eat two dishes for me the next time you have any. I have not
got my camera yet but I will as soon as I can. I wo't take any
pictures Sabbath even if Mr. Rogers did. I didn't take any long
tamps just little climbs. The train has just gone up the
mountain. It is fascinating to see the train going along like a
snake crawl. How are the horses standing this summer. As they
don't have any scraping they ought to be in good shape.
(Thursday) I received Hattie's letter today. I began to think
Ed's letters took so much time she did not have time to write
to me. Axel was right after all 7 is more than 4. That is only
2 apiece but maybe they will make up in size what they lack in
nos. I suppose Hattie feels like a Blooded Bondholder now.
If we have a late fall you may have lots of melons yet. Save a
lot of them for me. I expect you can get a good young man to
help you if I don't come home until Oct. 31. It will be between
harvest and corn husking and you can get some for $12 a month
for the work will not be hard, that is if you are not able to
do it among yourselves. I can make $75 clear if nothing happens
by that time. I hope you will make something out of your
garden. Garden sass is high here. 25 cents a doz. for corn.
There is a good deal of fruit 10 per box for raspberries.
The weather is cold here at night but the days are warm. I have
a west room. I keep my window open all the time, by morning a
blanket and comfort are very comfortable. The wind blows off
the range down the canyon and they get pretty cold by morning.
I must quit and go to supper. I do my own washing. Its does not
take long and it saves me about 30c per week. After I come back
from Boulder I think I will look around and see if I cannot get
in with someone and batch. I have plenty of time. I get up at
5:30 a.m. and commence work 6:50. We quit work at 5:00 p.m. so
there is plenty of time to cook but it won't pay alone.
I will quit and finish this Sat. or after I get mother's
letter. I have filled lots of paper but have not said much.
(Saturday) I must finish this before breakfast for I will not
have time before mail if I don't. This is a beautiful morning.
Most of the mornings are fine here. I expect you will see
Walter next week. I don't know what he will do but I think he
will take my offer I made him. I am going to see him this
evening, will come back tomorrow eve.
Breakfast bell has rung so I will close for this time. Goodby,
love to all and kisses for yourself and babies.
Your loving hubby and father
James T. Bonner
[1654] He was boarding with his daughter Hattie for $5 a week and he
was doing carpentry.
[1651] His obituary in the "Osceola Record", November 18, 1920
appeared on page 1.
"Death of J. T. Bonner"
"The remains of James T. Bonner were brought here yesterday
from Paxton, Nebr. where his death occurred at the home of his
