JOHN HENRY WILLIAM BONITZ AND MARY (STOGNER) BONITZ PAPERS, #3865, 1863-1973
This collection includes three scrapbooks containing newspaper clippings from the North
Carolina Goldsboro and Wilmington Messengers, of which John Henry William Bonitz was
coproprietor. The clippings are primarily columns written by Bonitz or his wife. Volume 2
contains two photographs of two African Americans: Alexander Manly, an editor in Wilmington,
North Carolina (1898), and "Drake," a candidate for mayor in
Wilmington in 1897. There is also a typescript copy of notes on
Manly's background.
