John W. Bond who for many years
was a resident Of this vicinity and
well known in Brockwayville died at
his home in Dubois early Saturday
morning following an illness of near
ly a years duration. He had under
gone a severe operation at Mayo
Brothers clinic, Rochester Minnesota,
last April but no improvement fol-
lowed and he gradually became
weaker although he had been con-
fined to his bed less than two months
prior to his death. During his early
life Mr.. Bond was engaged in farm
ing on the old Bond farm at Sugar
IiilI but later became actively en-
gagged in numbering both in Mary
land and Kentucky, where he ac-
quired an enviable reputation in the
etimating of timber. Mr.. Bond was a
man strong in his convictions. When
he believed in a principle he was
fearless in the advocacy of what he
believed was right. John Wray Bond
was born in Rockdale, jefferson coun-
ty. on March 16, 1857, and was the
son of William Bond and Elizabeth
Cooper Bond. He was married in
1913 to Miss Rose Wilson,, of Noun
tain Lake Park, Maryland, and from
that time until his death he made
his home in Dubois. Mr.. Bond is sur
vived by his widow, Rose w. Bond,
two sisters and four brothers as fol-
lows: William c. Bond, Thomas, w.
Va; James L. Bond and Mrs. A. R.
Chaplin, Brockwayville; N. U. Bond,
Cincinnati, o.; Mrs. G. R. Gray and
S. c. Bond, of Dubois. The funeral
services were held in Dubois, Monday
afternoon at 1870 and interment was
made in the family plot in Beech
woods cemetery where his great
grandfather was buried in 1886, his
grandfather with military honors in
1861, and his father in 1910"

Fire losses in this country last
year totalled over 1865, 100000, with
an attendant loss of 10000 lives. The
fires are never out, and are consum-
ing a million dollars a day of the Gre
ated resources of the country. With
all the improvement of motor appa-
ratus over the horse drawn, the ratio
of fire loss to property has not been
reduced, but on the contrary, is con-
stantly increasing. The loss is an
enormous tax which comes directly
from the pockets of the people.
