My great-grandfather John Howard Bond was born in 1855 near where Halsey, Oregon was established in 1871. In 1876 John married Mary Ann O'Neal in Lane County Oregon and had a homestead there. About 1894 the family moved to Gilliam County Oregon near Lone Rock and lived in that area until about 1905 when they moved back to the Halsey area. This photo shared with me by Robert Bond, another great-grandchild of John and Mary, shows them in front of their home in the Halsey area about 1910. It was about 1915 when John and Mary and their two unmarried sons, Perry and Roy, moved to Douglas County, Oregon in the Glide area. It was there Mary and John died and are both buried at the Oak Creek cemetery. John moved a number of times, still he lived his whole life in the State of Oregon.
