Doctor Bond was born in the Village of Webster, Wayne County, June 8, 1856, and is a son of Simon H. and Susan (Harris) Bond, both likewise natives of this county. Simon H. Bond became a progressive exponent of farm industry in Wayne County, and was also engaged in the mercantile business at Webster many years, he having attained to venerable age and having passed the closing period of his life in Los Angeles, California, his wife having died, at Webster, Indiana, in 1876. He was a son of Edward and Ann (Hussey) Bond, who were born in North Carolina and who became pioneer settlers in Wayne County, Indiana. Here they passed the remainder of their lives. The maternal grandparents of Doctor Bond were Benjamin and Lydia (Hiatt) Harris, who likewise were sterling pioneers of Wayne County, whither they came from their native State of North Carolina, prior to the arrival of the Bond family. Benjamin Harris here obtained a large tract of Government land and developed a productive farm estate, besides otherwise being prominent in advancing civic and material progress. He was one of the promoters of the building of the Grand Rapids & Indiana Railroad, which had its southern terminus in Richmond and which is now a part of the great Pennsylvania Railroad system. He became a director and executive officer of the company that constructed this railroad, and he was one of the patriarchal and honored citizens of Wayne County at the time of his death, in 1897, when he was ninety-seven years of age.

After their marriage Mr. and Mrs. Simon H. Bond established their residence on a farm two and one-half miles west of Webster, where they remained until the impaired health of Mr. Bond led him to leave his farm and engage in the general merchandise business at Webster, he and his family having resided in Richmond during the years of the Civil war period, and he having thereafter continued many years as the leading merchant at Webster.

Doctor Bond gained his earlier education in the public schools of Wayne County, and thereafter was a student in Earlham College, at Richmond, and, Antioch College in Ohio. He in the meanwhile made a record of successful service as a teacher in the public schools. In 1878 he was a student in Ohio Medical College, Cincinnati, and in the following year he became principal of the public schools at West Richmond. He continued his medical studies, under the preceptorship of Dr. J. R. Weist, of Richmond, and in 1881 he entered Bellevue Hospital Medical College, New York City, in which great institution he was graduated as a member of the class of 1883. After thus receiving his degree of Doctor of Medicine he returned to Richmond and became associated in practice with his former preceptor, Doctor Weist, this alliance having been continued fourteen years. Since that time Doctor Bond has conducted his practice in an individual way, and he controlled a large and representative general practice until 1904, since which year he has confined his attention to internal medicine, with special functioning in the treatment of tuberculosis, in which he has gained authoritative status.

Doctor Bond gave four years of service as coroner of Wayne County, 1884 to 1888, was health officer of Richmond in 1894-96, in 1894- 95 he was president of the Indiana State Medical Society, and in the late '90s he served one term as president of the surgical section of the Mississippi Valley Medical Association. In addition to his membership in the American Medical Association he has been (since 1890) a member of the American Physicians, and he has rendered effective service in the educational work of his profession, both through contributions to leading medical journals and through several years of lecturing in the Indiana Medical College and also in the Miami Medical College in Cincinnati, Ohio. He is the dean and a former president of the Wayne County Medical Society, and has served as president of the Union District Medical Society. He is a member of the Indiana Academy of Science. In 1901 Doctor Bond had the distinction of being a delegate from the American Physicians to the tuberculosis congress held in the City of London, England, and in 1908 he was appointed by the governor of Indiana as delegate to this international Congress of Tuberculosis held in Washington, D, C.

Doctor Bond gives his political allegiance to the Republican party, and he is an elder in the First Presbyterian Church in his home city, a former vice president of the local Y. M. C. A., and a former president of the Richmond Country Club, in which he continues a popular and appreciative member. In 1890 Doctor Bond erected a fine brick residence at 112 North Tenth Street, and there he has maintained his home since January, 1891. He has since made several additions and other improvements on the building, and there has his office, as previously noted. This beautiful home has been a center of much of the social and cultural activities of Richmond during the passing years.

On the 18th of September, 1883, was solemnized the marriage of Doctor Bond to Miss Julia M. Boyd, who was born at Dublin, Wayne County, and whose father, the late Dr. S. S. Boyd, likewise was born in this county, and here he long continued a representative physician and surgeon. The family name of his wife was Bunnell. The devoted companionship of Doctor and Mrs. Bond continued somewhat more than thirty years, and the gracious ties were severed by the death of Mrs. Bond in October, 1914. Of the children of this union the eldest is Dr. George S., who was born September 23, 1884, and who was graduated in Earlham College as a member of the class of 1905. He received from the University of Michigan his degree of Master of Arts, and in its medical department he was graduated in 1909. He thereafter had seven years of post-graduate study, directed especially to diagnosis and treatment of the diseases of the heart, in Johns Hopkins University and he is now a member of the faculty, of the Indiana Medical School, Indianapolis. In Richmond, in 1910, he married Miss Lida Jones. They have one child, Eleanor. Florence M., next younger of the children, was born November 23,1889, and she was graduated in Earlham College, in her home city, and later in Smith College, Massachusetts. In her studies she majored in the German language, including one year of study under private tutorship in Hanover, Germany, and later studied in the University of Berlin, where she was accorded a certificate for special efficiency in German. Miss Bond was in Germany at the inception of the World war, in 1914, and had no little difficulty in making departure from that country and returning to the United States. Her first post-graduate work was in the University of Michigan, and she taught German and French in the Richmond public schools. She has held for some time the position of social director at the University of Indiana, and resumed teaching of German in 1929, and is in the university now. Juliet, who was born in 1900, died in 1908, and Alice, who was born in 1902, died in infancy.

The second marriage of Doctor Bond occurred in November, 1915, when he wedded Mrs. Minnie (MacFarland) Van Matre, widow of Dr. Cassius Van Matre, a leading physician and surgeon at Newcastle, Indiana, at the time of his death and survived by no children. Mrs. Bond, a woman of. culture and gracious presence, is popular in her beautiful home in Richmond, where she and the Doctor delight in entertaining their host of friends, both old and young. Mrs. Bond was born in the year 1869, at Lancaster, Ohio, and is a daughter of the late James MacFarland, who likewise was born in the old Buckeye State.

GEORGE F. WALTHERS. Indiana has long been noted for its extensive farming interests, and some of the leading men of the middle states find its soil admirably fitted for some branch or other of the great agricultural industry. To Indiana the various stockyards of the Mississippi Valley look for high-grade cattle, and discriminating buyers look to stockraisers here for registered stock. One of the leaders in the raising of registered Jersey cattle in Franklin County is George F. Walthers, with offices in the Reidman Building, Brookville, a man who has not only made a success of his business, but has built up confidence in his region.

George F. Walthers was born in Butler County, Ohio, in 1865, a son of John B. and Emma (Hauser) Walthers, natives of Germany and Switzerland, respectively. The maternal grandparents, Emil and Theressa Hauser, came to the United States many years ago, and settled on a farm in Hamilton County, Ohio, and there he raised fruit and was a gardener. John B. Walthers settled in Butler County, Ohio, when he came to the United States, and there he was engaged in farming and stockraising. Both he and his wife died in that county, having won universal appreciation for their many admirable qualities and their industry and thrift.

Growing up on a farm, George F. Walthers had such educational advantages as were afforded by the local public schools, and at the same time he learned farming under the thorough direction of his father. After he reached his majority he left home and began to put to practical use the knowledge he had gained on the farm by dealing in stock, and he continued in that business in Ohio until September, 1898, when he came to Brookville, Indiana. Here he continued his operations in live stock, and was soon joined by his brother Herman, the latter buying land and beginning to feed stock. The brothers remained together until 1923, when their partnership was dissolved by mutual consent, Herman Walthers entering a live stock commission office in the Union Stock Yards, Cincinnati, and George F. Walthers continuing his stock raising. He is a very strong Republican, and is the first of his party ever elected commissioner of Franklin County. His fine farm of 520 acres of grazing and farm land is located in Brookville Township, but he maintains his residence at Brookville. About half of his farm is under cultivation, the remainder being used to graze his magnificent registered Jersey cattle. Mr. Walthers takes great pride in his farm, striving to keep it in order, and to do the work connected with it with the latest improved machinery. Because of the care he exercises, and the quality of his strain of cattle, his product commands the very highest prices.

In 1890 Mr. Walthers was married to Miss Louisa Sheering, who was born in Butler County, Ohio, a daughter of Charles and Mina Sheering, natives of Germany. Mr. and Mrs. Walthers have had the following children born to them: Harry E., who conducts the home farm; Norlila, who is the widow of Philip Corya, lives with her father, and she has two children, Phyllis B. and Georgia L.; and Harry E. Walthers is a widower with two children, Emily and Mark, so that Mr. Walthers has four grandchildren to whom he is deeply attached. His fraternal affiliations are those which he maintains with the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks. When the Kiwanis Club was organized at Brookville he was one of its first members, but later on he withdrew from it. Mr. Walthers' personal popularity is commensurate to his success and prominence in the stock industry and farming. Honest, reliable and capable, he is not only honored and respected, but he has warm personal friends wherever he is known. His work as county commissioner stands as a monument to his ability and his willingness to give his best efforts toward promoting the interests of his town and county, and, when the need arises, of his state and country as well.

HERMAN WILLIAM WALTHERS, of Brookville, knows live stock as do few other men. It is a business with which he has been identified all his life and his ancestors before him.

Mr. Walthers for many years has been a dealer in live stock in Franklin County and uses a large amount of land as feeding ground and to raise feed for the hundreds of heads of cattle and other stock that every year are collected by him and from here sent on to the Union Stock Yards at Cincinnati, where he is a member of a stock commission firm.

Mr. Walthers was born in Butler County, Ohio, October 28, 1875, a son of John B. and Emma (Hauser) Walthers. His father was a native of Germany and settled in Butler County, Ohio, when twenty-four years of age. He followed farming and the live stock business there the rest of his life. He passed away in 1924. His wife's father came from Switzerland, in 1849, and also settled in Butler County. Mr. Walther's mother passed away in 1913.

Growing up on a farm, learning the stock business from boyhood, Mr. Walthers has been educated largely by experience and contact with men and affairs. He attended school during his boyhood only a few winter months. In 1899 he located in Franklin County, Indiana, buying live stock, and in 1901 secured a tract of land for feeding purposes. In 1902 his brother George joined him and they were partners until 1920, when they divided their land holdings, Mr. Walthers taking as his share 378 acres, and George 520 acres.

Mr. Walthers in 1918 established an office in the Union Stock Yards at Cincinnati, and bas since been associated with Charles Strebel. They constitute one of tlie leading commission firms in that city. At the present time Mr. Walthers has 705 acres and also leases a large adjoining acreage for the raising of corn and wheat. On his own land he has about 200 acres under cultivation, his chief crop being alfalfa. He is a member of the Cincinnati Live Stock Exchange, and since February, 1928, has been treasurer of the city board of education at Brookville.

Mr. Walthers is a Republican in politics. He had the distinction in 1914 of being the first Republican elected to a county office in a long period of years. He was chosen county commissioner by a majority between 300 and 400 in a county where the Democratic margin is usually 2,500 and 3,000 votes. He served one term. Mr. Walthers was one of the organizers and is a director of the People's Trust Company of Brookville. He is a member of the United Brethren Church and his wife is a Methodist. His fraternity is the Elks.

He married in 1899 Miss Sarah Tracy, who was born in Butler County, Ohio, daughter of Thomas and Addie (Williams) Tracy. Two children were born to their marriage. Talton Walthers was born in 1901 and was killed in a railroad accident February 17, 1912. The daughter, Maxine, was born August 5, 1917, and is attending school at Brookville.

MARVIN TRUMAN CASE, M. D., practiced medicine and surgery actively in Attica for over half a century. He represented thorough training and the finest qualifications of a family practitioner, and probably no one in that community has a greater degree of love and respect than this retired physician.

Doctor Case was born in Wisconsin, June 8, 1843. His father, William H. Case, was a native of New York State and was descended from an English family. In England the name of the family became associated with the manufacture of knives, and now most people think of a Case knife as a common noun. William H. Case married Sylbie Howe, also born in New York, and a descendant of General Howe. They had six children: Harlem, who was a soldier in the Civil war and was killed in action; Amanda, deceased; Mrs. Nancy Lyon, of Buchanan, Michigan; William, deceased; Lina, deceased; and Marvin T.

Marvin T. Case was educated in public schools and at the age of eighteen volunteered for service in the Civil war. He was in the army three years, joining as a private of Company D of the Eighty-sixth Indiana Volunteer Infantry, and received his discharge as a sergeant. He was in the company commanded by Capt. Lewis Stevens.

After the war Doctor Case taught school in Warren County, Indiana, until 1868. Teaching gave him the funds for going to medical school and in 1870 he graduated M. D. from the University of Michigan. While at the university he acted as assistant instructor. After graduating Doctor Case located at Attica, Indiana, and for two years was associated with Doctor Jones. After Doctor Jones moved away Doctor Case took over his practice and for many years he rode and drove over an extensive radius around Attica, performing all the duties of an old-time country doctor in the years before the invention of telephones, automobiles and the advent of good roads. He is an honored member of the County, Indiana State and American Medical Associations and for thirty years acted as city health officer of Attica. He is one of the few surviving veterans of the Union army and a loyal member of the Grand Army of the Republic. Doctor Case is affiliated with the Knights of Pythias. He is a director of the Building & Loan Association of Attica. He continued his active practice until 1924.

He married, November 16, 1870, Miss Mary Elizabeth De Motte, daughter of J. B. and Emily (Payne) De Motte, who came from Virginia to Southern Indiana in 1837. Doctor and Mrs. Case had four children: Jessie,. Clarence, Laurin, who died in 1919, and one that died in infancy. Clarence, now living at De Land, Florida, married Nora Newberry and has six children. Laurin married Jessie Pruviance and left a son, Laurin.

Miss Jessie Case is a graduate of DePauw University and also took a diploma from musical college in Chicago and studied abroad at Vienna, Austria. After returning home she taught music at Tudor Hall in Indianapolis for fourteen years. When her father's health failed she returned home to take care of him, and still does work as a teacher in Attica and once a week goes to Indianapolis to look after her classes in that city.
