Death of Daniel Bonner: Had been Ill a Few Days with Typhoid Pneumonia
Daniel Bonner died early Sunday morning in the Cortland county hospital, where he was taken Thursday suffering from an attack of typhoid pneumonia, aged 38 [28?] years. The body was taken to Liberty, Sullivan county yesterday, for burial in the Carrier family lot.
Bonner was totally blind, and a New York foundling. When he was 4 years of age he was taken with a group of fresh-air children to Livingston county and left at the home of Miss Mary Carrier, who was attracted to the child and had him transferred to her care. She had him educated at the Geneva school for the blind, and brought him to Cortland with her seven years ago. He was a skillful chair worker and broom maker and did much toward his own support as he grew old enough to work, and was well-known about the city.
