"The Sabbath Recorder", Vol 17, No 1, p 3, July 5, 1860. At Wasioja, Dodge Co., Minn., May 14th, 1860, of bilious pneumonia, Benjamin F. Bond, Esq., aged 48 years. His sufferings were severe, which he patiently endured, with great fortitude of mind. He trusted in God, believing in the immortality of the soul, and the efficacy of Christ's saving power. He left a good evidence of his acceptance with God, and with much composure resigned his will to the will of his heavenly Father. He was a cheerful and affectionate husband, a kind father, and a firm pillar in the church. His relatives and friends have much cause to mourn their loss. His funeral was attended by a large concourse of people, at the First day Baptist Church in the village of Wasioja. Discourse by Eld. Shepherd, from Eccl. xii. 7. His remains were conveyed to the village cemetery, and deposited there. N. M. Burdick
