Biography
editBorn near Brownsville, Tennessee, to Thomas and Ellen Owen (Whitelaw) Bond,[1] He was educated in schools in Tennessee and at Harvard University. He married Mary D. Miller in Bolivar, Tennessee on November 18, 1880. They had four children: Thomas, Irene (Mrs. Alleyn von Schrader), Whitelaw and Marion.[1]
After gaining admission to the bar in Tennessee, he practiced law there until 1879, then moved to St. Louis. In 1892, he was elected to a twelve-year term as a judge of the St. Louis Court of Appeals, beginning January 1, 1893.[1]
He resigned on October 7, 1901, to return to the practice of law.[1] He formed a partnership with his son, Thomas, in June 1904, and then with Judge William C. Marshall, forming the firm of Bond, Marshall & Bond.[1] Marshall left in 1910, and the firm continued as Bond & Bond until April 11, 1911, when Bond was appointed a Supreme Court commissioner of Missouri.[1] In 1912 he was elected to the Missouri Supreme Court for a term to run from 1913 to 1923, serving until he died in office in 1919, from "an attack of apoplexy".[2]
