Pelatiah Bond was born in Wayne County, Indiana, on February 8, 1834, near the little town of Fountain City. His parents being among the early pioneers of that region, his mother being teacher and physician, and the mother of nine boys, six of whom lived to enlist and serve in the Civil war. Before entering the war he pioneered in Minnesota and traversed the land now the site of the city of Minneapolis, when it was still government land.
When war broke out he volunteered and served in the three months' service, in the Eighth Indiana infantry, under Captain Riley, father of the Poet Riley. He was always a warm friend of the Rileys and was remembered only a few years before the poet's death with an anniversary card and booklet.
After the three months' service he returned home and was married to Cornelia Edwards, after which he returned to the service, enlisting in the Second Indiana Cavalry and serving there until the end of the war. After the war he and his wife went to the frontier in Minnesota and spent many years in pioneer life there and in Kansas, afterward returning to his native state where he lived until coming west in 1886.
A great many years of his life was spent on the frontier but his intellectual life always accompanied him, for as he was a student, he was always surrounded by his beloved books and had to depend upon others for reading of current topics, but as for literature, his mind held a vast store and he could repeat hour after hour, the beautiful poetry, committed to memory in former days. He was always very grateful to any one who had time to read to him after losing his sight and was intensely interested in all world movements in science, history, literature and altruism. Some of the young people in high school contributed largely to his pleasure and entertainment by coming in to read and talk to him, and these he always remembered with gratitude.
He was brought up as a Friend, but when about 36 years of age, under the preaching of a Methodist minister, he experienced a deep sense of sin and was brought to a knowledge of acceptance with God through faith in Christ.
His church membership continued with Friends until his wanderings threw him in places where there were no Friend's society.
His life stood for progress, honesty, fairness and reverence, and many were those who gained comfort and inspiration from him. He leaves two daughters: Mrs. Myrtle Hunt and Mrs. Katherine White, both of Riverside, his wife and two daughters having passed on some years ago. Four grandchildren: Mrs. Mary Keever of Muncie, Ind.; Mrs. Corinne Zicovich and Mr. Burnett White, both of Riverside, and Walter Pascoe of Sacramento. Three great grandchildren and two brothers, Daniel Bond of Los Angeles and Edward Bond of Sawtelle.
Funeral services were held at Simon's Chapel Wednesday, May 10, at 2:30 p.m. conducted by Dr. J. Lewis Gillies, pastor, First Methodist church.
