The Weston Democrat, Fri. 5 Aug. 1910:
"BOND, MRS. JOHN C. of Roanoke, died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Davis (Golda) of Salem, on Sunday. The funeral took place at Roanoke Tuesday. She was about 60 years of age."
--------------

"The Sabbath Recorder", Vol 69, No 14, p 447, Oct. 3, 1910.

Mrs. Elizabeth Bond, daughter of John N. and Elizabeth Schiefer, was born December 3, 1841, near Weston, W. Va., and died in Salem, W. Va., July 31, 1910, aged 68 years, 7 months and 28 days.

Her father died when she was two years old, and her mother died when this daughter was but eleven. She was married to John Bond of Roanoke, W. Va., December 13, 1866, and they have made home happy near that place since that time. Their oldest son, Lloyd, died November 27, 1893, at the age of twenty-five years.

Mrs. Bond was one of the constituent members of the Roanoke (W. Va.) Seventh-day Baptist Church and was ever one of the faithful. Her good sense, sympathy and love made her one of the most helpful in home and church life. A husband, four children and six grandchildren will greatly miss her wise motherly counsel and her great spiritual force. In contemplation of such faith we may find the deep meaning of the Lord's words: "Blessed are they that mourn, for they shall be comforted." Since the husband and family know so well the comfort of the Scriptures which record the promises of God, we may find much to relieve sorrow in her last words expressing her complete reconciliation and her faith in the divine message. We lose from our numbers the immediate influence of a strong heart devoted to the highest human experience, but her rest and victory must live on in our memory and yet speak for salvation.
