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 Decisive Battles.
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.
