Statements this record supports

C-050 — The Bonney family monument stands on Bonney Avenue in Lowell Cemetery (77 Knapp Avenue, Lowell): a bronze figure of a draped woman with arms raised within a granite architectural surround. The rear panel is inscribed with four names: Arthur Perkins Bonney (1828–1896), Emma Augusta Call (1828–1892, 'wife of Arthur Perkins Bonney'), Charles Sumner Lilley (1851–1921) and Clara Bonney (1855–1894, 'wife of Charles Sumner Lilley'). Pollard Memorial Library identifies the sculptor as Frank Edwin Elwell, the title as 'New Life' and the architect of the surround as Frank Bacon; Lowell Cemetery's own monument page calls the figure 'Victoria' and prints Clara's dates as 1845–1884.
