On
January 4th I posted about the England reunion of 1929. I found an
article in September of 1939 in the Albany Democrat-Herald telling of
the Bond Reunion held in Turner, Oregon, at the home of Mr. and Mrs.
H. [Harvey] S. Bond on August 20th. It stated that the reunion was
for families of the pioneers: Solomon, William and George Bond. Again
names were listed with 51 individuals.
My
grandparents, Mr & Mrs Julius Falk and their youngest child
Gerald were among the attendees. Grandmother Falk's maiden name was
Bond. She was a granddaughter of Solomon Bond.
My
parents didn't attend that year. I suspect they were busy caring for
their new baby girl (me) born just 8 days earlier.
The
article included where those attending were from. They came from
Washington: Woodland and Vancouver, and from Oregon: Eugene, Albany,
Harrisburg, Halsey, Florence, Portland, Salem and Turner.
Again
any Bond researchers can contact me to see if your ancestor went to
the reunion in 1939.
