    1. [NYRENSSE] BOND - SAUNDERS Family Photograph
    2. Shelley Cardiel
    3. I've "rescued" an old family photograph of the BOND Family including Lillian BOND, Mary Jane SWISHER BOND, and Flora BOND SAUNDERS which was taken at the Saunders Studio in Milton, Wisconsin. The photograph appears to have been taken in the 1880's or 1890's and includes two unidentified people as well as the three ladies. The oldest appears to be Mary Jane looking to be in her 50's of 60's at the time, with Lillian and Flora both looking to be in their 30's or 40's. Also in the photograph is a young man appearing to be in his teens and a young girl about 6 years old as well. Based on limited research I was able to gather the following information regarding this family: Mariah "Mary Jane" SWISHER b. 27 Aug 1831 in Rockford, VA to parents Isaac SWISHER (b. 15 Jul 1793 in Browns Creek, VA) and Mariah JETT (b. 20 Jan 1796 in Fauquiere Co. VA). Mariah married Daniel Moore BOND M.D. in 1849 and moved to WI that same year. Florence Virginia BOND b. 12 Sept 1854 in Johnstown Center, WI to parents Daniel Moore BOND (b. 22 Mar 1826 in Lost Creek, WV) and Mariah Jane SWISHER (b. 27 Aug 1831 in Rockford, VA). Daniel & Mariah BOND had three children, Florence Virginia; Franklin Lewis; and Lillian M. BOND all born between 1854 and 1863 in WI. Mariah Jane SWISHER BOND died 25 Apr 1909 in Ashaway, RI at the home of her daughter Flora. Florence married Edward Bates SAUNDERS (b. 7 Jun 1851 in Berlin, NY) on 30 Jan 1878 in Janesville, WI and together they had 3 children including, Howard Bond; Ethel Mildred; and Irma SAUNDERS all born between 1879 and 1886 in Hallock, IL; Milton, WI; and Madison, WI. Florence BOND SAUNDERS died 12 Apr 1922 in Beaver Falls, PA. Lillian BOND b. 18 Mar 1863 in WI, the daughter of Daniel Moore BOND and Mary Jane SWISHER. I am hoping to locate someone from the family so that this wonderful old photograph can be returned to their care. If you are a member of the family, or you know someone who might be, please contact me. Thanks, Shelley
