    3. Hi, I am looking for the parents of FRANKLIN H.(Herman?) BOND. Here is what I know about him: Franklin H. BOND, b. Nov 9, 1846, d. May 29, 1913, Occupation: Laborer (maybe at Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in Kittery, ME), Birthplace: Kittery, ME, m. Elizabeth J. Todd, b. Feb 22, 1852, d. Mar 27, 1921, Birthplace: Kittery Point, ME. They had daughter Winnifred Todd Bond, b. Nov 27, 1872, d.?, Birthplace: Kittery, ME, Occupation: Clergywoman, m. Leslie E. Coffin, b. N. Lovell, ME. I also found a newspaper clipping in Winnifred's bible with the following info: Husband and Wife Retire from B.&M.{Boston and Maine}: Ipswich, Aug 28--Mr. and Mrs. Herman Bond of High Street, said to be the only husband and wife serving the Boston and Maine railroad as ticket agents, today announced their retirement after an aggregate tenure of 85 years. Mrs. Bond has sold tickets at the depot here for the last 41 years, four years fewer than her husband. A scroll drawn by Arthur Shurcliff of Argilla Road, noted architect, and signed by some of the hundreds of commuters with whom the Bonds have become well acquainted, was presented to the couple. They also received other gifts and remembrances. I haven't been able to find the Herman Bond connection yet, but Herman could have been Franklin whose middle name began with H., maybe Herman, or he may have been Winnifred's brother. I am planning a trip to Kittery Point, ME in a week and hope to document some of the cemeteries while I am there and submit them to the below site: http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/index.htm Check it out in a month or so. Any additional info on the Kittery, Kittery Point or Eliot, ME Bonds would be greatly appreciated. Donna Tolson Fredericksburg, VA (formerly a Blaney from Kittery Point, ME) ctolson@mnsinc.com
