NEWTON PIONEER DIES ON SAME DATE THAT WIFE WAS SUMMONED JUST TWENTY FOUR YRS. AGO A rather unusual coincidence in connection with the death yesterday of Xavier Bonk, a pioneer settler of the town of Newton, is that his death occurred on the same date as that on which his wife passed away 24 years ago. Mrs. Bonk died on March 2, 1893 early in the day and Mr. Bonk was called yesterday, March 2 at 10 in the morning. Mr. Bonk was born in Germany and came to Manitowoc county at the age of 19, and since that time had been a well known and prosperous farmer. He is survived by six children, Mrs. Glenn, Edward, Pauline, Helen and Thomas, of this county and Cecelia of Chicago. The funeral will be held at Newton Tuesday morning.
