Chico Daily Record, Monday, June 15, 1903, pg 1 col 1: Reuben Bond Answers Call. Respected Citizen of Chico Succumbs to death Brought on by the Weight of Years. Deceased Was a Veterans of the Civil War In Which He Served Three Years, and Was Among the Early California Pioneers.
Reuben Bond, a veteran of the Civil War, and a respected citizen of Chico, answered the final call last night about 10 o'clock, at the residence of his son, A.W. Bond, his demise marking the end of a long and useful life.
The death of Mr. Bond was not unexpected. He had nearly reached the age of 72 years, and the weight of years couple with an affection of the heart proved too much for his constitution to withstand. Mr. Bond himself was aware that he was on his deathbed and at his request the marriage of son, Lon Bond to Miss Woods was hastened in order that he might know that it had occurred before he passed away. The wedding took place last Wednesday and since then the aged man waited with patience and resignation the coming of death.
Reuben Bond was a native of Indiana, where he was born on July 16, 1831. From Indiana he went to Iowa, where he engaged in merchandising and farming and also followed the trade of a carpenter. In 1852 he was attracted to California by the stories of the new El Dorado, but on that occasion stayed but a short time. He returned to Iowa where in 1856 he was married to Nancy Herring. On the outbreak of the Civil War Mr. Bond enlisted in an Iowa regiment and went to the front, serving with distinction for over three years. He then returned to his family and occupation and about ten years ago he removed with his family to Chico where he has since resided.
Here he engaged in fruit raising and by his exemplary life gained the respect of his neighbors and the confidence of the community.
Mrs. Bond preceded her husband to the grave about two years ago. They raised a family of five children, as follows: A.W. Bond, Lon Bond, Mrs. J.H. Adamson of Chico, and Mrs. H.J. Hinds and Mrs. H.S. Kyte of Lewiston, Idaho. Funeral announcement later.

" ... the son of ... Rueben Bond, a native of Randolph County, Ind., born on July 16, 1831 ... Reuben Bond attended the public schools in Henry County, where he grew up on a farm. In 1852 he set out for California via the Isthmus of Panama, and after his arrival in this state engaged in mining for three years, after which he went back to Iowa. The next year, 1856, he married and settled there as a farmer. In the terrific contest between brother and brother in the North and the South, he enlisted in the Eleventh Iowa Volunteer Infantry, Company B, and served as sergeant for three years, or until the close of the war. On his return to Iowa, he resumed farming until 1893, when he moved to Chico, Cal. There, in 1903, he died, a noted horticulturist. The Major's mother had been Miss Nancy Herring before her marriage, and she came from Hamilton County, Ind. Her grandfather Herring had moved to Iowa, and there her mother was brought up.
