        ISAAC V. BOND, born in Wayne County, Ind., is one of seven born to
     JESSE and MARY (VORE) BOND, three of whom live in this State and one
     in California.  His father was a native of North Carolina, his mother
     of Pennsylvania; they came to Indiana before its admission as a State,
     remaining until 1831, when they removed to Kalamazoo County, Mich.;
     thence to La Porte County, Ind., where they resided until their
     decease, his mother dying in 1878, and his father in 1882.  Our sub-
     ject received a fair education, and has taught several terms.  When
     about twenty-five years old, he visited the Southern States, and in
     1850, the "land of gold" -- California.  In this adventure, he was
     three times shipwrecked and three times paid passage; he engaged in
     mining, and after in saw-milling, remaining two years, and returning
     by way of Central America, and reaching La Porte in 1853. Here he was
     married, on September 10, of the same year, to MARY E. ROGERS, of La
     Porte County, when he settled to farming, but after eleven years made
     an overland trip to Idaho in 1864.  He has visited nineteen States,
     nine Territories and Central and South America, having traveled over
     33,000 miles, gaining much information and many curiosities.  He came
     to Porter County, Ind., in December, 1864, settling on the land he now
     has - ninety-one acres.  His wife died October 16, 1875, leaving two
     children - WILLIAM A. and FRANK A., both farmers.  His second marriage
     was to MARTHA H. UNDERWOOD (O'HARA), and took place February 15, 1882;
     she is a daughter of JOHN and MARY UNDERWOOD, old settlers of La Porte
     County.  Mr. BOND is a stanch Republican, and has been Assessor of
     Washington Township; he is a Quaker in religion, and a Freemason.
     Mrs. BOND belongs to the M. E. Church.
