- Married
John Q. Boner and Miss Lydia J. Cassity were quietly married in the Standard office at 5:30 o’clock p.m., Monday, Jan’y 8th, Judge S.M. Grigsby officiating.
This marriage is the consumation of a courtship of several years and the contracting parties have each proven for each other that faithfulness that insures a true union of hearts and lives.
The bride is a daughter of Peter Cassity, and is a lady of exceptional industry and frugality. She has lived in our city for years, working for her living, and by her womanly deportment has the respect of all who knew here. “Jack” Boner, the groom is also well known in our city. He is a big hearted, clever, well behaved young man, and will we think prove worthy of his bride.
The married couple left the same evening at 11 o’clock over the O.K. for South Bend, Wash., where “Jack’s” brother lives, and where they will make their future home.
The Republican extends its best wishes to the wedded couple and hopes for them a happy wedded life.

- Mrs. John Boner Dies At Her Home In Milan
Mrs. Lydia Jane Boner, wife of John Q. Boner, died at the family home Friday morning, September 4, at 6:30 o’clock after a long illness which had its beginning last January when she suffered an attack of the flue and from that time on Mrs. Boner never regained her usual robust health.
Mrs. Boner was born September 2, 1874, on the farm home of her parents west of Milan, being 57 years of age at the time of her death. The deceased was the daughter of pioneer citizens, Peter and Alnena Hill Cassity, and was the eighty child of a family of nine children. Five brothers passed to the great beyond previous to her passing as well as her parents.
Lydia J. Cassity was united in marriage on January 7, 1900, to John Q. Boner, also a native born resident of Milan. Two daughters came to bless the union, one dying in infancy. Mrs. Boner was a home loving woman, and her only interest in life was her devotion to her loved ones of whom she seemed to never tire in doing for. She was not confined to her bed until a short time before the end came. She was ready to go and remarked to those around her bed in the early hours last Friday that she “would be so glad when it was over.”
She leaves to mourn her a devoted husband, and a daughter, Mrs. Mary Boner Bramble, a sister, Mrs. W.M. Cavenee, of Magna, Utah, two brothers, P.T. Cassity, of Magna, Utah, and W.L. Cassity, of Balko, Okla. The funeral service was held at the family residence Sunday afternoon in the presence of a large gathering of friends and relatives, with Rev. Wilson Bentley officiating, after which interment took place in Oakwood cemetery.
