Statements this record supports

  • C-013 — After Bonney's death (March 1896) his son-in-law Charles S. Lilley continued to occupy the residence; the house remained in the Bonney estate ('Heirs of Arthur P. Bonney', 236 Fairmount St, in 1916 tax lists) for Bonney's granddaughter. Bonney's daughter Clara had died in July 1894, so the Form B statement that 'his daughter and husband' stayed on is wrong as to the daughter.
  • C-047 — Charles S. Lilley is listed at 236 Fairmount Street in the 1915 tax list (also as executor), and 'Heirs of Arthur P. Bonney, 236 Fairmount street' are assessed in 1916 — i.e. the house remained in the Bonney estate while Lilley lived there.
