Since the organization OF the
Society Sons Of American revolu.
ton in Honolulu the local branch
has grown in numbers quite large.
ly. Applications for membership
are constantly coming in. Among
the latest additions is Represents
tive Elias Cornelius Bond OF Ko-
hala, Hawaii. who is 8 descendent
OF Elias Bond.
Representative Bonds claim 70
membership Of the society is based
on the fact that his great grand
father William Bond assisted in
establishing the American indie
pendence while acting in the capa-
CITY OF Lieut.. Colonel under Colonel
Thomas Gardener who was NOR
tally wounded in the battle of
Bunker Hill.
After that famous battle he had
command of the regiment which
was, in 1775, arranged as the 18th
regiment OF the Continental army
and belonged TO General Greene's
brigade which was stationed on
Prospect Hill
Early in the following March,
the 9TH and 18th regiments. COM
manded by Col. Stark and Col.
Bond respectively. received orders
to march to New York where they
arrived on the 30th day of that
month.
On the 18th of April, 4 regiments
were ordered to Canada, being the
first detachment ordered thither by
the way OF Lakes, on that expedi-
ton which proved so disastrous to
the Americans.
Colonel Bond had Just returned
from a furlough when he was taken
Ill with typhoid fever and died.
Representative Bond is recon-
mended for membership by Chief
Justice Judd and P. c. Jones.
The Society is in receipt of a
letter from Charles Edward Che
ney, rector OF Christ Church, Chi
cage. who is Chaplain-General OF
the National Society. Mr.. Cheney
eongratulates Mr.. Jones on the
true American spirit Of the people
OF Hawaii and hopes the society
may prove powerful influence in
preserving the memory Of revolu-
tionary sires.
Another from Henry Hall. bust
ness manager Of the New York
Tribune, TO John Effnger, secre-
tary of the Honolulu society, says
We keep q close watch on the
general news from your country
and have noted recent proceedings
with interest. Every patriotic Yam
kee Is living in hopes OF seeing the
day when We can claim the gallant
men OF the Hawaiian Republic as
fellow citizens.
Dr.. Francis H. Brown of Boston
oongratulates Mr.. Jones on the in
auguration OF the society. He
thinks such an organization would
act as an eyer-present reminder OF
the members native land and the
struggles passed through.
incidentally, Mr.. Brown men
toned that Rev. o. P. Emerson of
Honolulu had been proposed for
membership to the Society there
and that he expects he viii soon
return home with bis bride.
