WILLIAM BOND, a leading citizen of Busseron Township, is the second of a family of seven children, and was born March 2, 1832, in Virginia. He came with his parents, Samuel and Eliza (Orndorff ) Bond, to Indiana when quite young, and spent his boyhood days on a farm and attending the common schools, where he secured an ordinary education.
He resided under the paternal roof until twenty-two years of age, when he married, and has since followed the free and independent life of a farmer. He has met with flattering success in his undertakings and is now the owner of 450 acres of fertile land, well improved,
with a good two-story frame residence. He deals extensively in live-stock, especially mules and horses. He is considered an excellent neighbor and farmer, and is a Republican in politics.
On November 20, 1853, he was married to Hester A. Summers, a native of the county, born October 1, 1835. To this union ten children were born: Samuel A., born March 1; 1855; Mary E., born June 19, 1857; Caleb H., born June 2, 1859; Leander H., born January 26, 1863; Edwin G., born March 16, 1865, and died September 8, 1869; Jesse T., born April 7, 1867; William W., born August 4, 1869, and died September 4, 1870; Murray W., born August 15, 1871, and Hester J. and Lester J. (twins), born November 20, 1873.
