Gerald Clark Bond, oldest son of Clifford and Alena Maxson Bond, was born November 10, 1914 in Nortonville, Kansas, and died February 23, 1977 in the Veterans Hospital in Fayetteville, Ark., after an extended illness.
From early youth he had been associated with printing activities, especially as a linotype operator and mechanic, and as a writer. Throughout his life he responded to his Master's call by studying to show himself [text lost]. He joyfully ministered to his fellow men both by sharing the truths entrusted to him, and lending a helping hand wherever needed.
From his home church, the Seventh Day Baptist Church of Nortonville, he transferred his membership to Albion, Wis., where in 1942 he married Marjorie Greene, who survives him in their present home in Siloam Springs, Ark. While living in Madison, Wis., two sons were born to this union: Philip of Spring Valley, N.Y., and Daniel of Paramount, Calif. Other survivors are: one sister, Alma McClure of Auburn, Wash.; two brothers, Ira Bond of Nortonville, Kans., and Allen Bond of Marion, Ia.; and two grandchildren.
Graveside services in the National Cemetery at Fayetteville, Ark., on Feb. 25, 1977, were conducted by Pastor Kenneth Payne of Glad Tidings Chapel, Decatur, Ark. On March 12, a memorial was held in Siloam Springs with Allen Bond officiating. M. G. B.
