    Services For Aged War Veteran to Be Held Sunday.

       Answering the summons of the Great Commander, Captain Charles Alvin Bond, one of the most beloved members of the Grand Army of the Republic, and a participator in may of the great battles of the Civil war, died at his home, 301 Grand avenue, Tuesday evening, slipping into a peaceful sleep at the age of 81 years. Captain Bond was one of Bellingham's best known characters and he was universally popular with children and adults. His widow, Mrs. Lucy Bond, and a brother in Vermont, survive him. A lover of boys and girls, he had been in contact with them for fifty-one years as a patriotic instructor in the public schools. Twenty-one of these years was passed in that capacity in the Bellingham Schools.
       Captain Bond was past commander of J. B. Steedman Post, No. 24, G. A. R., and was always an active member of that post. He was a member of the Unitarian church, the Knights of Pythians and the Redmen, and for sixty years he was a member of Granite lodge, No. 35, F. & A. M., Barrie, Vermont.
       In the Civil war Captain Bond served in Company C, Sixteenth Infantry, Massachusetts Volunteers, and emerged from the war with the rank of captain. He took part in some of the severest battles of the rebellion, including Fair Oaks, Malvern Hill, Bull Run, Peach Orchard, Kettle Run, Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, Chantilly, Spottsylvania, Fredericksburg, Wapping Heights, Kelly's Ford, Payne's Farm, the Wilderness, North Anna, Old Church, Cold Harbor and Petersburg.
        Captain Bond had been failing since last July, when he was stricken by paralysis. Early last autumn it was feared that death would claim him, but he rallied and was able to spend many of his remaining days in a wheel chair. He appeared in this chair at the Armistice day program in Liberty hall on November 11 and received an ovation as his chair was wheeled upon the stage and at the conclusion of responsive patriotic remarks. Funeral services will be held at the Garden Street Methodist Episcopal church Sunday at 2 p. m. with the pastor, Dr. J. C. Harrison, officiating. Masonic services, conducted by Whatcom lodge, No. 151, will follow. Interment will occur in Bay View abbey under the direction of O. R. Hollingsworth. The honorary pallbearers will be members of the G. A. R. The Father's club will attend in a body, it was announced today.
    Note: Charles A. Bond entered service July 2, 1861 at age 18 as Pvt. and received disability discharge as Pvt. April 19, 1863 at Falmouth, VA
