Here is what I know: Franklin H. Bond, b. Nov 9, 1846, d. May 29, 1913, Occupation: Laborer (maybe Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in Kittery), Birthplace: Kittery, ME, m. Elizabeth J. Todd, b. Feb 22, 1852, d. Mar 27, 1921, Birthplace: Kittery Point, ME. Had dau. Winnifred Todd Bond, b. Nov 27, 1872, Birthplace: Kittery, ME, Occupation: Clergywoman, m. Leslie E. Coffin, b. N. Lovell, ME. Also found newspaper clipping in Winnifred's bible with the following info: Husband and Wife Retire from B.&M: 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 think Herman may have been Winnifred's brother. I haven't been able to go any further back and any help is greatly appreciated.
