Mrs. Bonnenhouser’s
Funeral This Morning
The funeral of Mrs. Emelie Bonnenhouser, whose death
occurred in an Asheville hospital Saturday night, was held from the residence of
her daughter, Mrs. Geo. N. Hutton, this morning at 9:45 by Rev. W.R. Bradshaw
and the remains, accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. Hutton, were carried to Detroit,
where they will be interred beside those of her husband. Mrs. Bonnenhouser went
to Asheville a week ago for an operation on her eyes, and for several days it
seemed that she was getting along well. On Friday her condition was reported
worse and death relieved her suffering Saturday night.
Mrs. Bonnenhouser had been residing with her daughter here
for the past 12 years. She had just passed her 71st birthday. Though
blind for many years, she retained her interest in life and her disposition was
sweet and her manner gracious. She won hundreds of friends by the sweetness of
her character.
The burial will take place at Detroit Wednesday beside the
body of her husband, the late Hugo Bonnenhouser, who died some 20 years ago. A
sextette composed of Mesdames E.L. Shuford, J.H. Shuford and E. Chadwick and
Messrs. George Hall, Connelly Gamble and L.H. Warlick sang beautifully at the
home “Lead, Kindly Light,” “Art Thou Weary?” and “Come, Ye Disconsolate.” The pall
bearers were Messrs. K.C. Menzies, George Bailey, J.C. Martin, F.P. Johnson,
J.H.P. Cilley and Walker Lyerly.
