THOMAS BONHAM, THE LITTLE CONSTABLE, DEAD
KNOWN THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE COUNTY AS THE SMALLEST CONSTABLE EVER ELECTED.
Thomas M Bonham, known as the "Little Constable," died Sunday at the home of his nephew, J. D. Baer, of Westmoor, after an illness of several weeks of complications, aged 60 years. Thomas M Bonham was born May 20 1850, in old Union Township. He was the oldest son of Alexander and Cynthia Austin Bonham. His father was killed in the Civil War. For the past twelve years he made his home with his sister, Mrs. A. T. Dymond, and while a resident of Hunlock township received the title of "The Little Constable," having been constable of Hunlock Township for several years, during which time he was a familiar figure at the county seat. For many years prior to his fiftieth birthday he was a noted hunter, seldom missing an annual hunt for deer on the North Mountain, his presence assuring all concerned of a hunt long to be remembered. He was forty-eight and one-fourth inches tall, weighed sixty pounds and was perfectly developed in mind and body. On account of his small size everyone who saw him become interested in him, and to know him was to esteem him. He was of a kind and generous disposition and leaves a host of friends. He is survived by one brother, Ralph A Bonham of Plymouth, and Mrs. A.T. Dymond of Westmoor. Funeral services will be held on Tuesday morning at 9:30 at 33 Atherton avenue, Westmoor and the body will be taken to Muhlenberg via Hunlock's creek for interment, on the D. L. and W. train leaving Kingston at 11 o'clock. Services will also be held in the Muhlenberg M.E. church at 3 p.m. -- Wilkes Barre Times Leader, February 20, 1911
