"The last 2 surviving daughters of Amy and James live
in the Houston area. I remember Elisha Cox came to my gr grandmother (Alma's)
funeral. He was elderly and in a wheelchair. I think he was
close to 100 then. Alma died about a month before her 97th birthday. The
Alma Cox Bonner and Rufus Bonner family reunion is scheduled for May 27,
the Sunday before Memorial day. It will be at the old home place.
That is the log house near Lone Cedar Missionary Baptist Church and Cemetery.
The house was built soon after the Civil War by Andrew
Bonner, Alma's father-in-law. Alma and Rufus raised
their children there. Should be lots of stories and information.
Anyone wanting to attend are more than welcome. Should be lots of
good cooking. It is usually around lunch time. Some will go
to church (Lone Cedar) before we eat, some will stay and prepare.
So just come on. I can't come this year, my husband's niece is graduating
in Houston. I rarely miss this, but I have no choice. I'd love
to be sitting in the dog trot smelling magnolias instead of being in Houston.
I'll ask that Mother get pictures. I've seen the one of Francis and
Henry. One just like it hung in the old log house."
