discovered had gained considerable
headway so that 1t was impossible to

a mason and plasterer and being in-
dustrious he found immediate employ
ment with Warren Calkens. making
the brick of which the first court
house and residence OF J. w. Denison
were built. When the brick making
was completed, Mr.. Bond turned his
hand to his old trade and did the mas
on work on both Of these builings.
Later with E. S. Plimpton he rented
o farm and the two single young men
lived together at what was called
NBcndville. He resided at this place
for several years and it was here that
he was married on February 9, 1861,
to Mrs. Emma King. To them four
children were born, three OF whom
died in infancy; daughter Lima,
growing to splendid womanhood only
to pass away at q time when life gave
greatest promise.
Mr.. Bond moved to Denison in 1862
and during all these years he was
busy not only with his farm but with
his trade, and there was hardly res
idence in the olden times that did not
bear the mark of his handiwork. Mr.
Bond had the honor OF being one Of
the first pOst-masters OF DenisOn, hold
ing the position for several years and
later he was the proprietor of the
leading hotel here. In 1875, when Den
ison was first incorporated, Mr.. Bond
was elected as the first mayor defeat
ing the late Henry c. Laub by a ma
jority of forty-nine votes. He was al
SO honored by many other positions
oftrust, holding the offices of constable
township treasurer. township trustee,
assessor, school director, and for
many years was justice OF the peace.
That Mr.. Bond was always close to
the masses is shown by the fact that
he defeated such notable men as Fl.
c. Laub, and w. A. McHenry for the
office Of Mayor an: Leslie NJ. Shaw for
the Office OF justice. Mr.. Bond was re-
elected Mayor and was succeeded a
year later by Mr.. w. A. ,McHenry.
For the PAST number OF years Mr..
Bond has been residing with his wife
in his modest home overlooking the
Boyer valley and cultivating his lit
tie farm. For number OF years he
