Whenever I receive a newsletter from a genealogy society I look for Bonnells and Bunnells. The latest issue of The Quarterly Journal of the Illinois State Genealogical Society (Spring 2003 Vol. 55 No. 1) has a wonderful article by David C. Bailey, Sr.; Roger L. Knigge, Pamela Nila, and Eric Pry: A Roster of Aurora Post #20 GAR in Aurora, Kane County, Illinois, Part 1.
It's an amazing article as every fact is supported by footnoted sources. If you have ancestors in Aurora, get hold of this article.
Three Bonnell-Bunnell men were members. I've linked the sources to associated web pages.
