XAVIER BONK

NEWTON PIONEER DIES ON SAME DATE THAT WIFE WAS SUMMONED
JUST TWENTY FOUR YRS. AGO
A rather unusual coincidence in connection with the death yesterday
of Xavier Bonk, a pioneer settler of the town of Newton, is that his
death occurred on the same date as that on which his wife passed away
24 years ago. Mrs. Bonk died on March 2, 1893 early in the day and Mr.
Bonk was called yesterday, March 2 at 10 in the morning.
Mr. Bonk was born in Germany and came to Manitowoc county at the age
of 19, and since that time had been a well known and prosperous farmer.
He is survived by six children, Mrs. Glenn, Edward, Pauline, Helen and
Thomas, of this county and Cecelia of Chicago. The funeral will be held
at Newton Tuesday morning.
