Robert A. Bond, 83 years old, father of Fire Chief Walter J. Bond, died 
yesterday at his home, 1800 Morris avenue. He was long active in political 
circles and was one of the town-ship's best known citizens. He served as fire 
chief in 1910, being succeeded by his son at that time. He was the oldest 
career member of the Union Republican Club.

Mr. Bond, who was found dead in bed by his son, Walter, was born September 5, 
1855, in Rockville Center, L. I. He lived in Union Township 45 years. 

Mr. Bond was employed by the Elizabethtown Water Co. 42 years and helped build 
the firm's present pumping station in Union. He was active up until the time of 
his death as chief engineer of the station.

Mr. Bond served on the Union Township Board of Education from 1910 until 1923. 
He at one time was Overseer of the poor, serving six years.

He was a member of Union Lodge of Elks, United Order of the Golden Cross, 
Washington Camp, P. O. S. of A.; Winfield Scott Council Jr., O. U. A. N.;

Additional Comments:
 Robert A. Bond was my 2nd great-grandfather. He was born September 05, 1855 in 
Rockville Center, Long Island, New York the son of Walter J. Bond and Louisa 
Jackson. Some corrections and additions: his son was not chief of the fire 
department until the 1920's. Robert, Walter and a few other men started the 
regular fire department in Union Township. 
His sister Clara was married to Lewis Driscoll. Anna was also called Annie. 
Romona's name should be spelled Ramona. 
Robert's wife had passed away some years before, she was Lillian Mundell.
