Well Known Retired Engineer Died This Afternoon

Geyer, of Huntingdon, who survives. He was married twice before, first to Miss Mellie Love, and to this union

For many years he served in the capacity of an engineer and no man ever handled a throttle on one of those big iron horses, that took better care of his engine than Henry Bonsell. He took much pride in keeping it spotless and a number of occasions received complimentary letters from high officials of the company for his work. He was retired in 1925. He was also a great sportsman. No man enjoyed fishing more than Henry Bonsell and he gave of his time and means in helping to stock streams and care for them during the early days. He was a member of the First Presbyterian church, W. F. Minary's Bible class for men; the Junior Order United American Mechanics and the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers. In all of these he was active and took much interest in the work carried on by these organizations. Funeral services will be conducted at the Bonsell home 215 1/2 twelfth Street Sunday afternoon.
