Mrs. Mary (Loomis) Bond was born in New York State, March 29, 1839, and died in Garwin, Iowa, June 26, 1925, aged 86 years, 2 months, 27 days.
When about seven years of age she with her parents came west and located in Illinois, and later near New Ulm, Minn.
While living near New Ulm, on November 30, 1860, she was united in marriage with William Bond. After several years of married life they removed to Lost Creek, W. Va., where they became members of the Seventh Day Baptist Church of that place. After several years residence in West Virginia, they removed to Iowa, and located near Garwin, where they resided till 1885, when they located in Lane County, Kan., where they remained for three years, returning to Garwin, where the deceased spent the remainder of her life.
In the year 1905 she was left a widow, since which time she made her home with her son, Edgar, who together with her daughter, Mrs. Clara Overmire, cared for her most devotedly during the closing years of her life. October 10, 1896, she united with the Seventh Day Baptist Church of Garwin, Iowa, of which church she was a consistent member at the time of her death. She was living near New Ulm, Minn., during the terrible days of bloodshed occasioned by the uprising of the Sioux Indians in 1862.
She lived in the very midst of those terrible scenes and days of danger and uncertainty, during which she lost two brothers and a brother-in-law at the hands of the Indians.
For safety during those turbulent days, she and her young child, Edgar, were taken to St. Peter, Minn., where many of the benighted settlers congregated for mutual protection. The memory of those exciting events lingered vividly in her mind to the close of her life, and she was fond of recounting to interested people the perils through which she passed during those historic days in the development of the state of Minnesota.
Her marriage resulted in the birth of seven children: Edgar, Mrs. Clara Overmire, Mrs. Viola Haughton, William A., Mrs. Jennie Dutoit, all of Garwin, Iowa; Alvira, who passed away in early life; and Daniel, of Tama, Iowa.
She was a faithful mother to her family and also mothered the six children of her husband by his former wife, two of whom are still living.
The deceased leaves to mourn her loss: three sons; three daughters; fifteen grandchildren; fifteen great-grandchildren; two nieces, Mrs. Ella Hutchings of Sleepy Eye, Minn., and Mrs. Eveline Shultz of Springfield, Minn., and several nephews in the same family; also friends scattered in and around Garwin and elsewhere.
Funeral services were conducted in the Seventh Day Baptist church at Garwin, Iowa, June 28, by Rev. E. H. Socwell, who also has been placed in intimate relation to the deceased as follows:
He baptized two daughters, one daughter-in-law, one grandson, solemnized the marriage of one son, conducted the funeral of one daughter, two daughters-in-law and a step-son, and lastly the funeral of "Grandma."
