• Notes

  In the 1885 Iowa State Census, William Bonner is a four year old, white single male. He was born in Iowa of parents who were born in Illinois (mother) and Ohio (father). His parents are both native born to the United States. He lives in Lyon Township, Hamilton County, Iowa, with his parents, Helen and William, two sister (Blanche and Ella) and two brothers (Robert, Cortland). [WBo 06.]        In the 1895 Iowa State Census, William Bonner is a 13 year old, white male. He is living in Lyon Township, Hamilton County, Iowa. There is no visual image of this census available, thus, the information available is minimal, including no connection to family. [WDB 01, DLL.]        In the 1905 Iowa State Census, William Bonner is listed with two brothers: Robert and Cortland. William is living in Lyon Township, Hamilton County, Iowa. The other two brothers may be living outside the state: Cortland in Battle Creek, Wyoming; Robert in Shoshone, Idaho. No other information is provided. [WDB 03.]        In the 1910 U. S. Federal Census, William D. Bonner is living with his mother in Spokane, Ward 1, Spokane County, Washington. He was born in Iowa of parents who were born in Illinois (mother) and Ohio (father) although the census record indicates unknown for the father. He reads, writes, and speaks English. His occupation is that of switchman for a railroad. He is classified as a worker; he was not out of work on 15 April 1910; he was not out of work in 1909. William and his mother live at 2027 Hartson Ave., Ward 1, Spokane, Spokane County, Washington. William and his mother are listed respectively as brother-in-law and mother-in-law. Yet, William is also listed as single. Further, there is no one that I can find on the page on which William and his mother are found to whom they are related. I also checked other pages, but found nothing. This is a somewhat strange occurrence; but strange occurrences happen with censuses. Other people listed are:Walter, Lulu, Hazel Austin; Tom and Gertrude Rowan; C. R. Huck.
