Theo Bond was born near Madison and spent his entire life in the familiar
surroundings which had been developed by his father. When Scott Bond died among
the things he loved it went to the shoulders of Theo to carry on. He was
involved with his brother, U. S. Bond, in the Bondol Laboratories and the
Funeral Directors Exchange, both located at Madison. The exchange made wooden
caskets sent all over the nation, and Bondol made embalming fluid furnished to
approximately fifty percent of the Negroe morticians in America. During World
War II, he aided in the War Bond sales, was a staunch supporter of the Red
Cross. Before the death of Theo Bond, there was no distinct separation of the
activities of Theo and U. S. Bond.
