At Buffalo Gap, Dak., Oct. 1, 1888, Abel D. Bond, in the 67th year of his age. His death was sudden and unexpected, from disease of the heart. He had continued work during the day on his farm as usual, until the attach seized him, when he fell to the ground in his own door-yard and was dead in a moment. The subject of this notice was born at Lost Creek, W. Va. At the age of 16 years he was baptized and united with the Seventh-day Baptist church at that place, under the ministerial labors of Eld. Joel Green. In 1844 he settled at Milton, Wis., and united with the church there, where he has remained a member, I think, until death. The last twenty years of his life have been spent mostly in the far West. He has lived the life of a consistent Christian, and has commanded the esteem and most profound respect of all who knew him. His remains were sent to Dunlap, Iowa, for interment. He leaves a wife and two sons and their families, and a host of friends to mourn their !
loss. E. J. B.
