Boswell, H. James. American Blue Book Western Washington, Seattle, Lowman and Hanford Co., 1922. p. 151. BONER, E. E.: A LAWYER, who as a result of his splendid work as a counselor, has established a reputation, is former State Senator E. E. Boner, of Aberdeen. Mr. Boner is a native of Missouri, and was born in 1871. He was educated in both private and public schools, including Franklin Academy, of Nebraska, and the University of Nebraska. He was admitted to the bar in 1901, and the same year located in Aberdeen. He was city Attorney of Aberdeen in 1903, and from 1904 to 1908 was Prosecuting Attorney of Grays Harbor county. From 1915 to 1917 he was in the State Senate, representing the 29th district, and was chairman of the Judiciary Committee of the Senate in 1917. From 1900 to 1914 he was in partnership with W. W. Boner, under the firm name of Boner & Boner. In court, he is one of the most convincing of speakers. He is calm but forceful, eloquent when occasion warrants, but at all times determined in his protection of a client's interests. He believes in trying all litigation without attempt to excite sympathy from either court or jury. Mr. Boner is a man of much energy, patience and perseverance. His arguments are meaty and forceful. His deductions are sound, his points of law well taken, while in every other way he exercises excellent judgment. Mr. Boner is now practicing his profession alone. Mr. Boner was united in marriage with Miss Deda M. Gilmore, in 1907, and the couple have four children, three boys and a girl. He is a member of the Elks, Knights of Pythias, and the county and state bar associations.
