Belding Banner – Thursday, 25 October 1900
Again, death has claimed one of the sturdy pioneers of this section, John R. 
Bond. Sr., who died Oct. 21st at his residence two miles southeast of 
Belding.  The funeral services were held Tuesday at 11 o’clock from the M. E. 
church of this city under the auspices of the A.O.U.W. of which order deceased 
had been a member, the pastor Rev. A. O. Carman officiating and the burial 
took place in Riverside cemetery.  Mr. Bond was born in Rochester, N. Y., 
Sept. 10, 1841, and came with his parents to Ionia Co., Michigan, in Nov. 1845 
where he resided until death claimed him.  He was one of the sturdy pioneers 
of the county and always followed his vocation as farmer.  He was a man of 
sterling qualities, energetic and progressive.  He patiently endured a long 
sickness, never giving up hope, but death came, he met it as he always met 
difficulties in life, with true fortitude.  He leaves a wife, two sons, 
Clarence E. and John R. both of this city, a brother Wm. Of Entrican, Montcalm 
Co., and a sister Mary L. Hosburg of Mecosta Co., with a large circle of 
friends to mourn his departure.
