COMPENDIUM OF BIOGRAPHY.

He remained under the parental roof until he attained the age of twenty-three years, being married November 18, 1877, the lady of his choice being Miss Mettie Thompson, who was born in Kane county, Illinois, January 30, 1857. Her parents, George and Cynthia (Serbaugh) Thompson, were both natives of Virginia, and early settlers of Kane county, Illinois, whence they removed to Buchanan county, Iowa, in 1865, locating on a farm, where the father died in January, 1890. The mother still survives. Their children were as follows: Mary is the wife of August Preussner and has four children--Mrs. Mattie Morris, Fred, Albert and Emma. Martha is the wife of Aaron Conner and has two children--Arthur and Mrs. Ina Larson. Henry married Maggie Carr and has nine children--Mrs. Jennie Kehr, John, Harry, Japeth, Maud, Nellie, Bernard, Howard and Gladys. Bina is the wife of Edward Brigham, and has eight children--Guy, Grace, Leon, Roy, Robbie, Leslie, Earl and Dorr. Perre married Ella Tickner and has four children--Lulu, Orma, Nellie and Inez, Mrs. Bond is the next in order of birth. John married Sadie Coloney and has two children--George and Mary.
In February, 1878, Mr. and Mrs. Bond came to Polk county, Nebraska, and the following year purchased their present farm, which at that time was all unbroken prairie land, with the exception of a few acres he had placed under the plow in 1878. He erected thereon a frame residence which has since been enlarged and remodeled, making a good, comfortable home. His energies are devoted to both farming and stock raising, and he has prospered in his undertaking, being now the owner of a fine tract of two hundred and forty acres, all of which are under a high state of cultivation, yielding golden harvest in return for the care and labor bestowed upon them.
The home of Mr. and Mrs. Bond has been brightened by the presence of nine children, namely: George H.; Roy O.; Claud A.; John O.; Ora E.; Merle I.; Fay C. and Fern M., twins; and Fred E. The parents are both devoted members of the Wayland Christian church, and Mrs. Bond has been a teacher in the Sunday school. Socially Mr. Bond affiliates with the Ancient Order of United Workmen at Gresham, and he has been a member of the school board in district No. 33, and treasurer of the same for four years. Politically he is independent, always endeavoring to cast his ballot for the man best qualified to fill the office regardless of party ties.
