LKH note:
There are two children buried in the Cline/Milner Cemetery that have a high probability of being two children of Mary and John G. Bonnett.
Currently they are labeled with the surname of Bonned, but the photo of the headstone could be read as Bonnett instead.
However, their dates of death and ages at death are too close together and therefore problematic for being the children of the same parents.

Obituary (Contributed)
Benjamin F. Cline, son of Nathaniel and Cynthia Cline, was born in Blount township,, Jan. 24, 1849. His father, Nathaniel Cline, was a fifer in the 125th Ill., Vol. Inf. Young Benjamin tried three times to get away and join his father's regiment but being the main dependence of his mother, she three times brought him back.
On the farm young Benjamin grew to manhood. The loss of his father in the civil war threw upon him the responsibility of assisting his mother to provide for a family of small children and this responsibility he faithfully performed, working very hard clearing up the land for the surrounding farmers. The weather was never so hot or so cold but what his ax awakened the echoes of the surrounding forest. He was known in his community as an honest, upright, persevering boy.
At about the age of 18 years he united with the Christian church under the ministry of "Uncle Jimmy" Conners, a pioneer preacher of this county. The Bible became from that day on and was until the time of his death, his rule of action. His chief delight was reading and nature. He delighted in the song of the birds and forest wild flowers. About his humble home were found in summer big beds of flowers, cared for tenderly. About the age of 21, he married Miss Samantha Washburne of Waynetown, Indiana. To this union one child was born, Miss Alice who with her mother still survives him. His life was a benediction to those who know him best. Three sisters and two brothers survive him also.
His aged mother died just one year ago to the day of his death.

Milton was a troubled man. He was afflicted with mental illness that may have been bi-polar disorder. Milton was absent from his family for long periods of time. When he did come home, he would have fits of rage that terrorized his children.
Milton was admitted to the State Hospital in Kankakee where he is a resident in the 1900 Census. The 1920 Census shows Milton as a resident of Blount Township, Vermilion County, IL. However, Milton passed at the State Hospital on 3 August 1925. He was buried in the State Hospital Cemetery 7 August 1925.
Milton used and went by his middle name, "Milton." His Lee family descendants distinctly remember him as Peter Milton Lee. His step-descendants choose to remember him as Milton E. Lee. Both offer legitimate arguments, but his full name, like the man, remains an enigma. There is complete agreement that he was known as Milton Lee.
