As one of the city's pioneers, as a man who has taken an active part in the upbuilding of his county and as a successful worker in his chosen profession, Dr. Bonebrake is deserving of a place on the roll of Klickitat's history makers. Marion county, Iowa, is his birthplace, and January 21, 1852, the date of his birth. His father, Rev. William F. Bonebrake, an Ohioan, born in 1814, was a minister of the United Brethren church for over forty years. He came to Marion county, Iowa, from Illinois in I843, living there until the spring of 1862, when he crossed the Plains, by ox team, to Roseburg, Oregon. Four years later he returned to Iowa, but again, three years afterward, recrossed the Plains to Oregon, this time settling in Coos county. He traveled throughout the state in his professional capacity until 1887, then came to Goldendale. However, he survived only six months after coming to Washington, his death occurring in 1887, also. Mrs. Bonebrake was a native of Pennsylvania, born in 1816. Her parents moved to Ohio when she was a child and there she was educated and, when twenty-two years old, was married. Both she and her husband were of German descent. Our subject received his early schooling in Iowa, being ten years old when he made the long, dangerous journey overland to Oregon, and his latter education in Oregon. Until he was eighteen years old, he remained at home, but not liking the migratory life rendered necessary by his father's calling, he then sought his fortunes alone. In the fall of 1870, he settled upon a quarter section in Coos county and for twelve years was engaged in farming and stock raising. During this time he began the study of pathology and subsequently entered the office of Dr. Tower, of Marshfield, Oregon, with whom he remained two years. He then matriculated at Willamette University, by which he was graduated three years later, in the class of 1883, with the degree of M.D. Shortly afterward he located in Dayton, Washington; where he practiced a year. Dr. Bonebrake opened his office in the town of Goldendale March 29, 1884, since which date he has resided in the city, winning success in all that he has undertaken. On June 3, 1885, a year after his arrival in the city, he married Miss Letitia Flanary, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Green (Chamberlain) Flanary. Mr. Flanary was a native of Missouri, born in 1829, who crossed the Plains by ox team to Oregon in 1852, being among the earliest Oregon pioneers. He was engaged in farming in Yamhill county until 1879, when he settled eight miles east of Goldendale. He brought his family to Goldendale in 1884, and there passed away in 1899. Mrs. Flanary also died in 1899. Mr. Flanary was of English and Irish and Mrs. Flanary of English descent. Mrs. Bonebrake was born in Yamhill county, Oregon, March 22, 1867. She received her education in the schools of Goldendale and at the time of her marriage was eighteen years of age. Her eldest brother, William P. Flanary, is a photographer in the city; another brother, Jasper G., resides at Juliaetta, Idaho; one sister, Mrs. Sonora Hess, lives in the Abtanum valley; and the other sister, Mrs. Susie Shearer, also lives in Yakima county. Mr. and Mrs. Bonebrake have reared a family of three children, all born in Goldendale. Holt, the eldest, was born April 17, 1887, and was recently stricken down in the flower of his youth; Allen Crede, the next oldest, was born January 12, 1893, and Adria, the only daughter, was born February 27, 1896. Dr. Bonebrake is connected with five fraternal orders, in all of which he is prominent: The Masons, Odd Fellows, Woodmen of the World, A. 0. U. W., and the Order of Washington. Mrs. Bonebrake is a member of the Christian church. In politics, the Doctor is a Republican. Besides serving Goldendale as mayor so many years with honor to himself and profit to the city, he is city health officer, and for a number of years has been a member of the school board, being its president at this time. Of all his public service nothing but words of praise and commendation are spoken by those whom he has served. His property interests are substantial, including a fine city home and an undivided fifth share in four hundred acres of farming land. Dr. Bonebrake is truly one of the representative citizens of both city and county, highly esteemed by his fellow men and fellow practitioners."
