Daniel Bond was born in Randolph County, Indiana on April 2, 1842. He was the son of a farming family, Benjamin & Ellen Bond. Daniel worked with his father on a farm in Champlin township. His family belonged to a group of Quakers that settled northern Hennepin and southern Anoka County.
He was initially mustered into the service on April 29, 1861, and opted out in May. When the men were asked to sign up for three years instead of three months, he opted to say no, and returned home to the farm. Daniel later reconsidered his decision and enlisted again on August 22, 1862. He was placed in Company F of the Minnesota 1st Volunteer Infantry, along with his older brother, Hezekiah, who enlisted at the same time. Dan was 19 years old, stood 5' 11" tall. He had a light complexion, auburn hair and gray eyes.
During his service he was slightly wounded at the battle of Fredericksburg. During the battle at Gettysburg, every one of the men of the Union Company color guard were either killed or wounded. His brother Hezekiah later reported that, "when the colors fell Daniel caught them up and pushed forward calling, "come on boys." On July 6, 1863, Bond was promoted to the rank of corporal and appointed to the color guard. When the regiment was mustered out on May 5, 1864, Dan and his brother were transferred to the First Battalion B Company, in order to finish out their three year term of enlistment.
On June 22, 1864, at Petersburg, through an unfortunate maneuver, about 1,200 Union troops were captured by the enemy, Daniel among them. On June 24th he arrived at Richmond, VA. From there he was sent to Lynchburg, on June 29th. He spent 8 months in prison. He was sent to Andersonville, Ga prison and another at Thomasville, Ga on Oct 31, 1864, but returned to Andersonville on Jan 8, 1865.
His first wife was Lizzie C Smith on March 9, 1872. She died on Jan 16, 1876. His second marriage was to Allie M. Bowman on May 5, 1878. They had two sons, Edmund, born on June 15, 1879, and John B, born on May 29, 1889. In 1881, the family moved to northern Kentucky for health reasons. Dan hoped that the climate would relieve his chest and shoulders from the strain of coughing. In 1887 they were living across the border, in Westfield, Indiana, where he was working as a teacher. Dan's wife, Allie, died on May 5, 1895.
His third and final marriage was to Martha Conlee Taylor on Sept 5, 1896, in Science Hill, Ky. They had a daughter, Florence, who was born on Oct 10, 1897.
After the war Daniel moved around alot. He at various times resided at Westfield and Lynn, Ind, Science Hill, Ky (where he married Martha), and later in California. There he lived in Redondo and at the California Soldier Home in Sawtell.
He was afflicted with kidney trouble and admitted to the Pacific Branch of the National Soldiers Home in Sawtell, California, on Aug 23, 1906. Martha and the children moved to Sawtell to be near him. He remained there until April 15, 1913. Their address in 1917 was 1512 W 48th St in Los Angeles. He applied for re-admission to the Soldiers Home in Sawtell on Feb 26, 1924 and died there, ten days later, on March 3, 1924. He was buried at the Evergreen Cemetery at 204 N. Evergreen Ave. Martha died in 1939 and was buried next to him.
