BONHAM. -In Westerly, R. I., March 11, 1889, Mrs. Catherine Edwards Bonham, in the 88th year of her age.
She was a daughter of Clarke and Catherine Edwards, and was born in Westerly, where she lived until the death of her mother in 1842, after which she lived some time in Brooklyn, N. Y., in Plainfield and Shiloh, N. J., and finally returned to Westerly. In May it will be eleven years since she came to Bro. Sanford Stillman's, which has since been her home. About 1860 she was married to Malachi Bonham, who died a few years later. She was baptized Feb. 24, 1816, and united with the First Seventh-day Baptist Church of Hopkinton, of which she remained a member until death. She was very much attached to the old church, and was never persuaded to join any other. Services were held at the house, condcted by the pastor, assisted by Rev. O. U. Whitford, and interment as made in the First Hopkinton Cemetery, by the side of her father and mother.
