[From The Old Rose Advisor, by Brent C. Dickerson, p. 282:] Mons Joseph Bonnaire, dead at the age of 68. Born at Saint-Chef (Isère) in 1842, Bonnaire went while still quite young to Lyon where he worked at the establishments of Damaizin and Ducher, going then to Paris... [At length, he returned to Lyon] where he ultimately set up shop in 1878.
