B.N. (Daddy) Bond passed away at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Maxey Harrell, in Purcell, Oklahoma, at 6:15 p.m., Wednesday, July 21, 1937, after an illness of less than a day, due to the infirmities of years; he had reached the age of 87 years, 3 months and 27 days.
His funeral was held at 2:30 p.m., Friday, services being conducted in the Lindsay Christian Church, packed with relatives and many friends of the departed. The discourse was delivered by Dr. Rawls Anderson; this service being a request made some time ago by the deceased; assisting in the services were Rev. Harold R. Burkhart, pastor of the Lindsay Christian Church and Rev. C.B. Bryant, pastor of the Purcell Christian Church. The committal rites were in charge of the Lindsay Mason Lodge, No. 248 of which the deceased had been a member many years. The interment was in Greenhill Cemetery, the Brown Funeral Home directing. The casket was covered with beautiful floral designs, all of which spoke of peace, purity and immortality.
Barton N. Bond was born in Miller County, Missouri, March 24, 1850. He was united in marriage with Miss Sarah Bassinger in 1875. She preceded him in death several years ago.
To this union 11 children were born, 4 sons and 7 daughters. One son Issac and one daughter, Mrs. Ollie Fitzpatrick have passed on and nine children remain, namely, L.R. Bond, La Grande, Oregon; L.N. Bond, Brawley, California; Barton, Jr., Monterey, California; Mrs. J.D. Harmon, Oklahoma City; Mrs. Lela Willard, Dallas, Texas; Mrs. Lottie Peters, Oklahoma City; Mrs. Maxey Harrell, Purcell; Mrs. D.M. Hopkins, Chickasha; and Mrs. Doss Luton, Tulare, California. Other surviving relatives include 33 grandchildren and 25 great grandchildren.
Mr. Bond spent a number of years in Texas, moving thence to the Indian Territory many years ago; he lived in the Alex vicinity for some time moving thence to the old Curty community northwest of Lindsay, where he resided a number of years, operating a farm and also a store, later moving to Lindsay, where he resided a number of years. During his residence in Lindsay, he was in the mercantile business for a time and served for several years as justice of the peace.
Daddy Bond was made a Mason in Texas in 1876 and during his 61 years as a lodge member he filled all the elective offices of lodge worthily; he was an honorary member of the Lindsay Masonic Lodge a number of years.
The deceased was a good neighbor, had many friends and he liked to have friends visit his home, and very frequently he and his good wife entertained large numbers at birthday dinners and other special events—the Bonds had a reputation for their hospitality and for serving good meals.
Mr. Bond was a member of the Christian Church and active in the work while his strength permitted. He served as an officer for the Lindsay Christian Church for a number of years.
Daddy Bond was a devoted husband and a kind considerate father and to his friends the soul of fellowship; he was a good citizen, and as a man it is those who know him best most love to contemplate him. It is the broken ties at the grave that prompt us to fuller appreciation of the tenderness of the ties that are not yet broken; and so while we mourn the loss of our dead we may rejoice that there is no light behind it, no sorrow so poignant that there is not a balm for the wound it inflicts.
"This life is only our training school to purify us and make us more sweet for the heavenly community among whom we expect to dwell."
