Hezekiah Bond was born in Wayne County, Indiana on Aug 29, 1836. He was the son of a farming family, Benjamin & Ellen Bond. Hezekiah came to Champlin, Minnesota in 1857.
His wife, Ann, was born in Indiana in 1830. Her maiden name was Hough, but she was a widow, bearing the name Ann C Poalton, when she married Hezekiah. On April 17, 1858, they were married at the home of his brother, Benjamin Bond. Both were from Quaker religious backgrounds. They settled on land on the south border of Champlin township and also had land in Dayton township. The 1860 census shows that they owned 8 acres of improved land and 28 acres of unimproved land, worth a total of $300 at the time. Their two children were born in Minnesota; Scipio, on April 28, 1859, and Caroline, on January 16, 1861. Hezekiah was a scholar and named his son after the Roman he admired.
Hezekiah and his younger brother, Daniel, served together in the First Minnesota. They both enlisted at the same time being mustered into Company F on August 22, 1862. Hezekiah stated that he was 27 years old, was 5' 7" tall, had blue eyes, dark hair and had a light complexion.
Hezekiah's service was, from the beginning, hampered by ill health. He was mustered into service on Aug 8, 1862. Just four months later, on Dec 29, 1862, he was sent to Lincoln Hospital in Washington DC. He was suffering from Typho-malarial fever. He was returned to duty on March 20, 1863.
At Gettysburg on July 2, 1863, Company F, Hezekiah being with them, was sent out to the left of the regiment to eliminate some sniper firing that coming from their left and harassing their position. At some time after they left, the regiment was ordered into their charge. During the skirmishing Hezekiah and Ole Johnson got separated from the company and ended up finding their way back to the regiment. They joined in with the remaining 8 companies and participated in the charge. He was injured in one of his eyes when a shell knocked his gun from his hands and broke a picture he was carrying of his wife and children. Ole later exclaimed to Hezekiah's brother, Daniel,
"O! You have a brave brother, Bond!"
On July 10th Hezekiah was admitted to the General Hospital (Market Street Branch) at Newark, NJ. On Jan 25, 1864, he was transferred to the Fort Wood Post Hospital at Bedloe's Island in New York Harbor. He was returned to duty on Feb 15, 1864.
When the old First was mustered out on May 5, 1864, both he and Daniel, were transferred to Company B of the First Minnesota Battalion to complete their three year enlistment. Hezekiah was wounded in the right foot at the Battle of Petersburg, on June 22, 1864, and sent to the hospital. When the Union troops were forced to retreat, Daniel Bond and many others were captured. He was sent to Andersonville Prison.
Recovering from his wound, Hezekiah was returned to the ranks on Aug 3rd. On Aug 25, 1864, during the Battle of Ream's Station, Hezekiah was wounded again. Here, Hezekiah was captured. He was sent to Salisbury prison in Salisbury, North Carolina. Suffering from ill treatment, diarrhea and the lack of proper food, he died there two months later, on Oct 26, 1864. He was buried in the Salisbury prison cemetery.
While Hezekiah had been off to war, Ann had to raise two young children. She lived in Hudson, Wisconsin in 1864 and 65, and in LaCrosse, Wisconsin from 1866 to June 1867. The family then returned to Champlin. She collected a widow's pension of $8 a month.
There were five Bond brothers who fought in the Civil War. Pelatiah "Ty" Bond served briefly in the 8th Indiana Infantry and later in the 2nd Indiana Cavalry. Benjamin Bond served briefly in the 8th Indiana Infantry and later in the 3rd Indiana Cavalry. He died at Budd's Ferry, MD, on Nov 25, 1861. Edward Bond served in the 1st Minnesota Heavy Artillery.
