| Summary: | Mrs. See was a registered nurse and took care of many of the medical needs of the community, including delivering babies. After about seven years of hardship with six children to be educated, Mr. Bond took a civil service examination and in 1918 received an appointment as rural mail carrier at Alexander, North Dakota, which he held until about 1935 when he transferred to Ellendale, North Dakota and served there until his retirement in 1941. Then he and Mrs. Bond moved to Hawthorne, California. Mr. Bond passed away due to a heart attack at the home of his son Harvey, in Ashland, Oregon in 1946. One year later Mrs. Bond succumbed to a heart attack, also in Ashland. They are both at rest in Inglewood Park Cemetery in Inglewood, California. Their eldest daughter, Marion married Hans Rosier who managed a grain elevator in Arnegard until his accidental death. Their two boys are Hans, Jr. of Kalispell, Montana and Robert, Pleasant Hills, California. Later Marion married Ted DeMarrs of Westhope, North Dakota and their two children are Harvey, Helena, Montana and Mary Louise, Mrs. James Wenff of Eugene, Oregon. Marion was again widowed. She became Mrs. Al Hurley and lived at Moses Lake, Washington for many years. Because of her illness, they moved to be near her son Harvey, and both passed away and are buried there. Olive Bond worked for Robert Norhiem, local attorney in Alexander, and then married Frank Taylor who lived northeast of Alexander. They had four children: Bill Taylor resides on a ranch northeast of Fairview; Jacqueline is Mrs. Ralph Cook of Havre, Montana; Janette married Gaar Thomas and they reside in Billings, Montana; and Frank, Jr. lives in Littleton, Colorado. Frank and Olive are buried in the Fairview cemetery, having farmed in the valley. Edith Bond contracted tuberculosis when only thirteen years old. This was the first tragedy to hit the Bond family. Due to the extreme efforts of Dad and Mother and the courageous Dr. Joseph Rogers, none of the rest of us contacted the disease. Joseph Bond was born November 3,1907. After high school I attended Minot State Teachers College, worked on ranches in the summer and in 1929 I got a job with the National Park Service at Glacier Park, working there until 1936. Norma Douglas and I were married in Sidney on December 30, 1930. We owned a store in Coram, Montana for five years and then moved to Los Angeles. I worked for North American Aviation and retired in 1969. We then moved to Paradise, California where we built the house of our dreams and are still enjoying our retirement. Harvey Gorman Bond became a butcher and pursued the trade the balance of his working life. At Ellendale he married Julia and they had Coleen, now of Eagle Point, Oregon and Thomas of Keniwick, Washington. His second wife, Myrtle, lives in Escondido, California, where Harvey Gorman Bond passed away in 1975. Wilma Ann taught school in Wisconsin for several years and met and married Neil McCarthy of the National Park Service at Glacier Park. Neil was later appointed to the Intelligence Service for the Internal Revenue at Seattle. She again taught school and both are retired at Edmonds, Washington. Their daughter Kathy lives near Seattle.

She came to the United States in 1884 with her husband, Martin Larson and six small children locating in Darlington, Wisconsin. Her husband and a son passed away within two years after their arrival, leaving her with five small children and unable to speak English. She was able to get work milking cows for a nearby cheese factory and by her own earnings and the help of good neighbors she managed to raise her family. In 1900 she came to Devils Lake, North Dakota and worked in a boarding house until 1903, then came to Fort Buford and filed on a homestead on the Big Missouri bottom, later bringing along her youngest son Anton, who was gassed drilling a well in 1915 north of Cartwright. He was married to Mamie Ryder. She had come here in 1914 and kept house for County Commissioner Frank Comegys for at least seventeen years. During that time she had been away from home only three nights. She had twelve great grandchildren. Two of her grandchildren used to live in Sidney but moved out west. They were Mrs. Jake Lanz and Raymond Larson. Her funeral service was held at the Lutheran church in Cartwright on January 3, 1937 with Reverend Nordmark officiating. Burial was in the Cartwright Lutheran cemetery, now called Nameless. A quartette of Helen Hagen, Annie Sponheim, Sybil Elletson and Mrs. Joe O'Connor sang.
