ANAHEIM'S OLDEST MOTHER—Mrs. Ella C. Burson, 429 North Placeia Ave., who is 90 years old, was declared winner of the "oldest mother" division of the Chambes of Commerce's Mother's Day contest. Mrs. Burson, who was presented a dress from Walburg's, will also receive a beautiful corsage Sunday morning. For all her years, Mrs. Burson is still spry and alert and full of interesting stories of early Anaheim and California. She was born in West Virginia, raised in Illinois and came to California in 1898. She and her husband, now deceased, moved to Anaheim from Santa Barbara 35 years ago and she has lived in the same house since then. Her only son, Arthur E., lives at the family home. He is 77 years old. Mrs. Burson is a past matron of Order of Eastern Star and a former member of the Anaheim Garden club. "I have hosts and hosts of good friends in Anaheim," she said.

(Mbulleti) Mother’s Day to Be Lonely One for Mrs. Clara Bonewitz of Stanton ORANGE COUNTY GENERAL HOSPITAL (OCNS) — Orange countians will be happily celebrating Mother’s Day this coming Sunday. But there are some mothers who will have little to celebrate. To them, the day will be as gloomy and uninteresting as each preceding day — different only because of time, or the exceptional smile on the nurses face. These are the geriatrics at the Orange County General Hospital. Geriatrica is the care of old folks—and one of these is Mrs. Clara Bonewitz of Stanton. Mrs. Bonewitz is 90. She has been a charity patient for five years — ever since that fateful day in 1949 when she suffered a stroke. That was a fateful year for the aged mother in other ways. That was the year her second husband passed away. His name was Roscoe Bonewitz and he was a carpenter. Her second marriage had been almost as happy as the first, but the first, too, had been marred by tragedy. She had a daughter who died in infancy. Her son grew to strong manhood — in 1917. He died in battle and rests today in Flanders Field. Shortly after the death of her son, Mrs. Bonewitz’ first husband passed away. And then in 1925 she met Roscoe. They lived happily in Stanton until that day in 1949. From then there was only emptiness and ward 40. That’s when any happiness she might have known left her life. She was old and unwanted. There was only Ward 40. She suffers from arthritis now, and the nurses watch for another stroke. She has found friends in Ward 40. The nurses like her. They say she tries to help, tries to get around, tries to cheer up the other elderly and forgotten patients. “She always has a prayer in her heart,” the nurses say affectionately. It’s lonely without a family. Not even the nurses in their crisp, white uniforms can be considered “real friends” — not the kind that would come and visit a 90-year-old lady on Mothers Day. The nurses are nice, and friendly, too — but it’s not like having somebody think you’re special. It’s lonely without a family.
