Wm. Bond was born Nov. 4, 1819, in Harrison county, West Virginia. He was united in holy wedlock with Mary Ann Kelly Jan. 22, 1844. Six children blessed this marriage. October 16, 1857, Good took his wife to the Heavenly land. Bro. Bond was again married to Mary Jane Loumis Nov. 30, 1860. Seven children were born to this union. In 1870 he united with the Lost Creek Seventh Day Baptist church, of which he remained a faithful member until his death. On Wednesday, March 22, the spirit took its flight from this tabernacle of clay back to God who gave it. A wife and twelve children survive to mourn his loss. The funeral services, held at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Lester Houghton, Saturday, March 25, were conducted by Rev. W. A. Pye, of Garwin, who used [as] a text the words of Christ. “I am the resurrection and the life.”
