She was born Oct.26, 1812 (sic), in Erie Co., Pa., came with her brother to Wis. in June, 1849, and engaged in teaching school in Sheboygan and Manitowoc counties until Jan 14, 1852, when she married to John Bon. She embraced the religion of Christ in early life.

She was the mother of five children, four of whom survive her. She has resided in Monroe County since 1857 where she made many endearing acquaintances. To know her was to respect and love her, for her pure example. She has been a consistent member of the M.E. Church for many years. She died in great peace.

Her funeral was attended by a large concourse of sympathetic friends. Rev. Mr. Jencks preached a very impressive discourse from Job vii, 16. Her remains were followed by brothers of the "Mystic Tie" and deposited in the grave."
