Life Changes

Obituaries:

Julia Dale, [email protected] or 721 Hillside St., La Cygne, KS 66040-6033 sent in the following saying that the deceased “was the daughter of Louie Bonnell of Plano, TX, and died just recently [Dec. 25, 2010] at the age of 92. … An IA cousin of mine sent this to me today.”

Elizabeth Bailey, Centerville Bunnell/Bonnell Newsletter, V.25, No. 1 February 2011 Page 3

Elizabeth Bailey, 92, of Centerville, died Saturday, Dec. 25, 2010, at Long Term Care at Mercy Medical Center in Centerville. She was born the daughter of Louie and Effie (Reeves) Bonnell on Sept 10, 1918, near Plano. She graduated from the Centerville Community Schools and later graduated from Drake University in Des Moines with a B.A. in Education. On Aug. 11, 1944, Elizabeth was united in marriage to Walter Bailey in Centerville. She was a school teacher in rural Appanoose and Wayne County for a time, then she taught at Seymour Community Schools in Seymour. She completed more than 38 years of teaching. She also helped her husband raise Angus cattle on their farm near Plano from 1953-75, when they moved to Centerville. She was a member of Drake Avenue Christian Church in Centerville, and sang in the church choir for a time and was a member of CWF. She was a member of the Retired Teachers Association and enjoyed doing volunteer work for the Lord’s Cupboard and New Focus, both in Centerville. Elizabeth is preceded in death by her parents; husband, Walter Bailey on Feb. 11, 1982; stepson Charles Bailey on March 27, 1997; sisters, Dorothy Bonnell, Elsie Sager and Opal Bear; a half sister, Margarete Dunham; a nephew, Don Bonnell and a son-in-law, John Maring. She is survived by her stepdaughter, Helen Maring of Ottumwa; and step-children, Kathy McIntire and Harry Meyers, both of Tucson, Aris. Funeral services will be 112 a.m. Wednesday with Rev. William Smalley and Ken Mehrhoff officiating. Burial will follow at the Elgin Cemetery north of Mystic.

[Ed. Note: As Julia said, Elizabeth is the daughter of Louie and Effie Bonnell and she is CB014629. This obituary adds significant information to the database, such as Effie’s maiden name and the name of Elizabeth’s husband. Unfortunately, Elizabeth’s lineage is only known back to her parents, Louie and Effie.] ~~~~~~~

One of my correspondents in England, Eric Bonell, has sent two obituaries; one from Canada and one from AZ. This first one is from The Toronto Star, January 24, 2011:

BONNELL, Rose (nee DiGioia) August 4, 1926 - January 19, 2011 Passed away peacefully on Wednesday, January 19, 2011 at North York General Hospital with her family by her side. Beloved wife of David. Adored mother of Grant, Robert and Joan, mother-in-law of Ted, Karen and Dawn. Cherished grandmother of Tamara and Christina. Loving sister of Josephine and Betty. Predeceased by her sister Mary and brothers Dan, Mike and Tony. Caring aunt to her many nieces and nephews. Memorial donations may be made to the Heart & Stroke Foundation. For online condolences, please visit www.jerrettfuneralhomes.com

[Ed. Note: I had no success trying to determine David Bonnell’s ancestry. If anyone can provide even a clue, I’d sure appreciate it.]

*****

The second one did not include the newspaper or date, but it is apparently from the Arizona Republic, date unknown; probably the 5th or 6th of March 2011.

Bonnell, Ihlarae of Phoenix, Arizona, loving mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, passed away on March 4, 2011 at the age of 78. Born on March 16, 1932, in Canton, Ohio, to Windsor and Mildred Strebel, she was the third of five children. She was married on December 18, 1954 to Dale Bunnell/Bonnell Newsletter, V.25, No. 1 February 2011 Page 4

Bonnell and together they raised five children moving the family to Phoenix in 1971. She was preceded in death by her parents; sisters Miriam and Carolyn; brother, Eugene; and husband Dale, and is survived by her youngest brother, Frank; children Debra (Kevin), Windsor, Ryan (Kathi), Raymond (Tami), and David (Heidi); thirteen grandchildren, and nine great-grandchildren. Memorial services to be held on Sunday, March 13, 2011, at 2:30 pm at Palo Cristi Presbyterian Church, 3535 E. Lincoln Dr., Paradise Valley. In lieu of flowers the family is suggesting donations to Gompers Rehabilitation Center.

[Ed. Note: Finding Dale Bonnell was a real search. In the Database, he is 017675, Dale E. Bonnell and the only data available is from his Social Security Death report. He was born 6 June 1933 and died 30 Dec 1988 in Phoenix, AZ. On Ancestry.com I found a family tree that included him and it shows his lineage as follows: John1, Roy2, Dale3. Interestingly, John was born in Italy of Italian parents, immigrated to the US in 1871 and was naturalized in1884. In the database, John is 020687. He married Belle Lowe and his son Roy married Belle Cottrell. The database does not show Dale as the son of Roy but the on- line family tree does. I wrote the owner of that family tree (Frank Strebel [email protected]) and asked for the source of that connection. His answer was “Dale Bonnell was my brother-in-law, so I knew his parents.” He is also trying to get me a birth cert for Dale. I believe that constitutes proof enough that 017675 needs to be realigned under Roy Bonnell and his wife and children added.]

John Grady, [email protected] or 4218 Oxhill Rd., Spring, TX 77388-5752, sent an obituary from The Hart County [KY] News-Herald. John wrote that he didn’t know the decedent Max but that he “married 10 July 1965, Jefferson Co., KY to Bessie Page, dau. of Albert Page. Her mother was a Doyel, Doyal, etc. Bessie was born 11 Jan 1948, Hart Co., KY.

Max Bunnell Munfordville – Max Uhl Bunnell, 70, Bowling Green died suddenly at his home. Max was a retired certified public accountant, having worked in TN, KY and Ohio. He was the son of Henry and Ruby Johnson Bunnell, who preceded him in death. He was a member of the Munfordville Baptist Church and he was also a member of the VFW Post and the Moose Lodge in Bowling Green. He was an avid card player and car enthusiast. After his graduation from Munfordville High School, he attended Western Kentucky University until he was drafted by the U. S. Army where he served in the 101at Airborne Division as a certified parachutist. After his service, he returned to WKU where he graduated Magna Cum Laude. He is survived by brothers Jack Bunnell, James Henry Bunnell and his wife Leuna, Jerry Bunnell and wife Lola, all of Munfordville, and Charles Rhea Bunnell, Glasgow; one sister, Mary K. Bunnell, Munfordville; nieces and nephews, Kerry Bunnell and wife Sharon, Kevin Bunnell, Timmy Bunnell, Anthony Bunnell and wife Melanie, Mark Bunnell and wife Angela, Lisa Willian [sic] and husband Timmy, Shannon Pickett and husband Kevin, Jennifer Bunnell and Karole Kidd and husband Jeff; grand-nieces, nephews; and great-nieces and nephews. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by three brothers Kenneth, Teddy and Tony Bunnell and one sister Betty Jo Bunnell. Funeral services were held at 11:00 am Saturday, January 22, 2011 in the chapel of Sego Funeral Home with burial in the Goodman Cemetery with military honors.

[Ed. Note: Based on the obituary, Max had no children. His wife Bessie is not mentioned in the obituary, so John suggests that either she has died or they were divorced. I would tend to believe that they were divorced or the obit should have mentioned her as preceding him in death. The Social Security Death Index shows his death date as 19 Jan 2011 and his birth date as 18 Feb 1940, but is silent on his marital status. This family is a mystery within a mystery. They appear to be part of the lost Kentucky clan, but we have not connected them with the other Kentucky Bunnells. Max is 037507 in Claude’s database, but Bunnell/Bonnell Newsletter, V.25, No. 1 February 2011 Page 5 his line is only known back two generations. His grandparents were ______and Doll[ie] (Bowling) Bunnell; his parents were Henry Rouseau and Ruby [Johnson] Bunnell. Doll or Dollie was already widowed by the 1910 census, had a 5 year old son, Henry, and was living with her mother, Annie Bowling. I cannot find Dollie in the 1900 census either as a Bunnell or a Bowling. Since they are located right in the middle of all the Kentucky Bunnells, we should be able to connect them … but we haven’t yet.] ~~~~~~~

Patti Bunnell, [email protected] or 1512 McDonald Ave., DuPont, WA 98327, sent us the obituary for her father, Harry Gordon Bunnell. It was in the Peninsula Daily News, or Angeles, WA, Feb 23, 2011.

Henry Gordon Bunnell July 4, 1918 – February 17, 2011 Henry Gordon Bunnell died peacefully at home on Thursday, February 17, 2011, at the age of 92. A lifelong resident of Clallam County, Gordon was born on July 4, 1918, to Harry Newton Bunnell and Gladys Fay (Cays) Bunnell in Sequim. Gordon attended elementary school in Sequim until the age of 8. When his family moved to Port Angeles, he attended Washington Elementary School and graduated from Roosevelt High School in 1936. A hard worker even at an early age, Gordon raised rabbits, chopped wood and had a paper route delivering the Port Angeles Evening News and The Seattle Times during the Depression. Gordon’s employment with ITT Rayonier (then named Olympic Forest Products Pulp Mill) began in 1936 in the Finishing Room. In 1942, he was inducted into the U.S. Army and was stationed at Fort Lawson in Seattle and Excursion Inlet in Alaska. He was part of the 711th Military Police Battalion. After his discharge in 1946, Gordon returned to Port Angeles and resumed his position at Rayonier Mill. He broke the Port Angeles Division’s service record when he retired from the machine room in 1962 with more than 45 years. On July 8, 1950, Gordon married Margaret Jane Liddane in Mukilteo, Washington. Soon thereafter the couple moved to what became their lifelong home in Port Angeles, where they raised their two girls. Gordy devoted himself to his family and friends, who enjoyed receiving his letters and phone calls. Some of his favorite things were fishing, his cars and boats, gardening, tinkering in the garage that he built in 1954, music, dancing, singing, and good food. He was a life member of Elks Naval Lodge #353 and a member of the Association of Western Pulp & Paper Workers. Gordon will be remembered as a thoughtful, caring and affectionate person. He was meticulous and honest in all things. Life will not be the same without him. His wife, Margaret, preceded Gordon in Death in 2006. He is survived by his sister, Leone Bunnell McDonald, daughters Patricia Fay Bunnell and Margaret Susan (Peggy) McCallum; son-in-law, Les McCallum; nephew, Terry Gordon McDonald; niece Janet Leone McDonald; and numerous cousins. There will be a viewing from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. today, Feb 23, 2011, at Drennan-Ford Funeral Home, 260 Monroe Road in Port Angeles followed by an 11:30 Graveside service at Ocean View Cemetery, also in Port Angeles. A gathering for Gordon at his home will be held immediately following the graveside service. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Volunteer Hospice of Clallam County, 540 E. Eighth St., Port Angeles, WA 98362.

Submissions

Jean (Bonnell) Seigley, 454 W County Road 38, Tiffin, OH 44883-9466, sent two obituaries and an article from Who’s Who in America, all of them about Marjorie Whiteman. Marjorie’s mother was Stella (Bonnell) Whiteman. Marjorie’s lineage was published in Vol. 17, No. 3, page 35. What follows is the shorter version of the obituaries. It is from The Toledo Blade, July 1986:

Marjorie Whiteman Major U.S. Authority on International Law Marjorie W. Whiteman, 87, of Liberty Center, O., one of the nation’s outstanding authorities on international law, died Sunday [6 July 1986] in her home. A graduate of Ohio Wesleyan University, Miss Whiteman taught history in Napoleon High School before receiving her doctorate in international law from Yale Law School. She was the second woman to attend that school. Miss Whiteman worked 40 years for the State Department in Washington, D.C. During that time she wrote the Whiteman Digest of International Law (1963-1969), a 15-volume work that took 20 years to complete. Published by the State Department, the digest is only the fifth such published work since 1877 and is used today as textbooks in many universities. Miss Whiteman served as assistant legal adviser and counselor in international law to 10 secretaries of state. When Eleanor Roosevelt was the U.S. representative to the United Nations General Assembly, Miss Whiteman was her legal adviser. When the Organization of the American States was formed in 1948, Miss Whiteman was a member of the United States delegation to the Pan American Congress in Bogota, Colombia. She retired in 1970 and returned to her family home near here. Surviving are her sisters, Helen L. Whiteman and Mrs. Gertrude Murdock..

John Grady, [email protected] or 4218 Oxhill Road, Spring, TX 77388, whilst researching one line ran across another Bunnell. From the Barlow Cemetery, Cooke Co., TX:

R. G. Bunnell (12 June 1851 – 6 Oct 1907)

John added that “The published record plainly says R. G. BUNNELL. From looking at various census records it looks to me like the man's middle initial is not "G" but rather would be "C" I did some quick checking and found this family living in Hardin Co., TN in 1880, even listing mother as Parmela Bunnell, age 66, b. Maryland. You probably have info regarding this family, but the death date could be "new" info.” I agree with John that this is the same family and the middle initial should be C.

Johanna Bonnell, [email protected], wrote expressing interest in her husband’s lineage. She provided his line as she had determined it to be, based primarily on ancestor charts on Ancestry.com. We are still sorting out some differences in data from his great grandfather on back. She did provide some data that we did not have from his father forward. She also mentioned that Clarence James Bonnell Jr had his name legally changed to “Jim.” The database shows only the second wife (Alice Hyde) of Clarence Sr. We are not aware of any children from his second marriage. Johanna has added 3 generations to the database.

Ancestry.com recently added a database comprised of the Returns from Military Posts, 1806-1916. It seems that the posts had to report monthly all commissioned officers present and absent by name, the number of present and absent enlisted men and prisoners by name. Perusing through that list I happened on a Clinton G. Bunnell who was a prisoner at Fort Jay, Fort Columbus, NY from Jun 1901 until released in March 1902. Interestingly, Claude’s database shows a Clinton G Bunnell (351378), but there is no entry in the notes to cover the years 1901 and 1902. Further searches in Ancestry.com provide the following history:

The Register of Enlistments shows that Clinton G. Bunnell, was enlisted 1 Sep 1900 at Hartford CT by Lt Arnold, Jr. He was 21 years of age, born in Bristol, CT and his occupation was laborer. He had blue eyes, brown hair, a “ruddy” complexion and stood 5 ft. 7 inches tall. He was assigned to the 5th Artillery, Coastal Artillery. He deserted Dec. 18, 1900, was apprehended May 1901, Dishonorable Discharge May 28, 1901, at Ft. Columbus, NY. As mentioned above, he was then imprisoned from June 1901 until March 1902.

Census data for 1910 shows him as married to Martha who was born in Germany about 1880 and immigrated to this country in 1891. They were married about 1902 (married 8 years). They have a daughter Ruth who was 8 years old. They were renting a house on Circle Ave, Bristol, Hartford Co., CT. And, unless the census taker erred in his entries, it show Clinton as having no occupation. Wife Martha however is employed as a “hubber” in a Spring Shop.

Bunnell/Bonnell Newsletter, V.25, No. 1 February 2011 Page 9

The 1918 Draft Registration Card for WW I shows he and Martha living in/at Bingham, Forestville, Hartford CT. He is now a Railroad Clerk working at the Forestville passenger depot. He was born Aug 30, 1879. His nearest relative is Martha Bunnell.

The 1920 Census shows them renting on Central Street, Forrestville Village, Bristol City, Hartford County, CT. His father was born in Vermont and his mother was born in Connecticut. Martha lists her immigration year as 1890 and that she was naturalized in 1902. Daughter Ruth, now 18, is still living with them.

The Ancestry.com index for the 1930 census erroneously lists them as Bumul. They are renting at 119 Central St. They were both 22 when they married. He is a laborer on odd jobs, Her occupation is difficult to read but is some type of Lady in the Springs industry.

The Connecticut Death Index, 1949-2001, shows his death on 13 Nov 1949 in Bristol, Hartford, CT at the age of 70. However it also shows his Marital Status as “Never Married,” which the census data disagree with.

The database fills in other information. His lineage goes back to the immigrant William: William1, Benjamin2, Hezekiah3, Hezekiah4, Daniel5, Daniel6, Chester7, Giles8, Wallace9, Clinton10. ~~~~~~~

European Research

I previously pulled some info from the website, http://www.csc.liv.ac.uk/~cprdb/, which provides free access to the Cheshire Parish Records from the late 1500s to the 1970s. I finally dove into their database Bunnell/Bonnell Newsletter, V.25, No. 1 February 2011 Page 10 and found that the records include baptisms, marriages and burials. I transcribed all of them, but have been analyzing only the ones prior to about 1700. I have attached a 1690 map of Cheshir

Some of the records were new to our database, while some provided a better source for entries we had gleaned from the International Genealogical Index. I have attached a spreadsheet of all Cheshire. Note that I have restructured the numbering system to reflect the County and the line number of each entry. Additionally, lines and information added since the November 2009 listing have a grey background. Trying to pull meaning out of so much material is challenging, so I invite and welcome any comments or suggestions.

Before providing some analysis of the Cheshire data, I want to stress that I am currently concentrating on Cheshire only because there have been assertions that William came from there. And while we have over 80 data entries prior to 1690 for Bo/Bunnells in Cheshire, we have over 500 data entries from other parts of England & Wales prior to 1690. In William Austin’s book he identified at least 10 possible Williams from the 1984 IGI, and none of them were in Cheshire. So there is still a lot of research and analysis to do. I really believe that whether we are searching for William’s roots or the roots of any other lines our members descend from, our greatest chance of connecting to the homeland is through DNA testing coupled with research. If we can find a Bo/Bunnell in England whose DNA shows a match with one of our members, we have two lines we can research – approaching the target (the common ancestor) from two directions.

I have also attached a 1695 map of the county of Cheshire. There are 17 primary locations where the Bnls were located and most of those were near Chester. Chester reported Bnls as early as 1571; Raffe Bunnell was buried at St. John’s Parish Feb. 1st of that year.

Search for William:

I had said that I would try to have some type of concise summary of the Cheshire data in relation to our immigrant William and this is it. There were three Williams mentioned in the data who were born early in the 17th century and thus could be our immigrant William.

William Bunnell (Ch-7), b. 1600, son of Benjamin and Rebecca (Brooks) Bunnell, however it is from the IGI and as no source is provided I am skeptical of this entry.

William Bunnell (Ch-10), son of John, christened 8 Oct 1601 of Thornton-le- Moors, Cheshire. Source is Cheshire Parish Registers and Cheshire Bishop’s Transcripts

William Bunnell (Ch-11), son of William, christened 9 Oct 1601 of Doddleston, Cheshire. Source is Cheshire Parish Registers.

We are left with two contenders as I have no confidence in the entry with no source.

The table would be strewn with little “islands” of pieces that fit together. Eventually those little islands would be joined to other ones, finally completing the whole picture. That’s sort of what we’re doing here. Of course we have no outside frame so we don’t know how large the puzzle is. But putting together little pieces of family lines is akin to the islands of pieces. Eventually, or hopefully, we’ll find out how these all fit together. Bunnell/Bonnell Newsletter, V.25, No. 1 February 2011 Page 11

These are not proof of lineage, but constructs based on analysis of the information available. We don’t know what information we don’t have. Here is one line pulled out of the Cheshire database.

DNA & Genealogy

Elvin Burnell has extended his DNA test from 37 markers to 67 markers. At the 37 marker level his results were only two markers different than the William Bunnell baseline. We are anxiously awaiting the results of this refinement.

We have developed a baseline, a very tentative one, for those Bonnells who are descended from a possible Irish connection. We used the same approach that was suggested by John Bunnell: finding the dominant value for each marker and using the results as a constructed, possible, baseline DNA structure for the oldest common ancestor. It is tentative because it is based on so few DNA tests. But, the participants are from 3 different lines that do not have a common ancestor for at least 5 generations which strengthens the argument for its probable accuracy. None the less, we definitely need more test participants and preferably from different lines.

Post Script

This issue starts the 25th year of publication of this newsletter. That is truly quite an event. Thanks to all of you who continue to share your research and provide financial support to keep it in operation. A special thanks to William Austin for starting the publication and Carole and Teri Bonnell who kept it going. And to Pat who maintains the books, provides all types of help and puts up with this demanding hobby of mine. ~~~~~~~

A really short note to say that we should have the next issue (May) on time. But between other demands on our time and the time it’s taking to make sense out of some of the data, we may slip once in a while. We appreciate your understanding.

6. The IGI listing provided no source information. The death date/location for William likely came from The Original Lists of Persons of Quality, 1600 - 1700. On page 428 is recorded the burial of a William Bunnel on August 5th, 1678 (not 1671 as stated in the IGI) in the Parish of St. Michaels. The last mention of our William is in the New Haven Court Records where, on May 1st, 1654 he asked the court to pay for his return to England. They agreed to do so and planned to put him on a ship bound for Newfoundland. So there is nothing to indicate that the William buried in Barbados is our William. 7. Listed as attorney, mayor 8.
