Ralph W Boner

Ralph W. Boner, son of Ezra and Anna Boner, was born near Vernon, Jennings Co. Ind., July 8, 1886, and died at Brook, Ind., June 19, 1912, aged 25 years, 11 months and 20 days.

Until he was sixteen years of age his life was spent in Southern Indiana and in Minnesota where he received his education. When sixteen years of age he came to Brook and since then he worked in this vicinity. His employers speak of him as being dependable.

Six years ago his father died and the mother was left to care for five sons and three daughters, and Ralph has been his mothers standby and her main help since the fathers death. He was always willing to deny himself that he might help his mother. In his last hours his thoughts were of his mother. (He committed suicide and the rest of this obit can be found in the newspaper below)
