"The Sabbath Recorder", Vol 50, No 5, p 80, Feb. 1, 1894. Mary P. Clarke Needham Bond was born in Jefferson Co., N. Y., May 23, 1813, and died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. L. A. Collins, near North Loup, Neb., Jan. 13, 1894. In early life she gave her heart to the Saviour and took him as her friend and guide. In 1836 she was married to Clark Needham, of Bellville, N. Y. After a few months they moved to Burr Oak, St. Joseph Co., Mich., where they served as pioneers of that country. During their stay at Burr Oak five children were born to them, three of whom died. Feeling the need of Sabbath-keeping society and influences for themselves and two remaining daughters, in 1853 they removed to Milton, Wis. Mr. Needham died Jan 13, 1872. In 1874 she was married to Dea. Levi H. Bond, of Milton, Wis., whom she survived three years. Since the death of Deacon Bond she has made her home with her two daughters, Mrs. T. O. Barker and Mrs. L. A. Collins, near North Loup. Sister Bond was an earnest, faithful Christian worker, always ready to give reason for her hope in Christ. J. H. H.
