CAROLINE BOND TAKEN BY DEATH
Pioneer School Teacher Is Suddenly Stricken
Miss Caroline Bond, after 24 hours of illness died this morning at 6:30 o'clock at her apartment at 14 S. Seventh street. The cause of death was heart affection which followed an attack of indigestion suffered yesterday. Her condition became alarming at once, and the attending physician put an nurse on the case early last evening. She suffered the heart attack about 6 o'clock and died before the physician reached her bedside. Miss Bond was in advanced years.
The funeral plans have not been completed pending the arrival of Mrs. Carrie DeWeese, of Buffalo, N.Y., a niece, who will leave that city for Niles this evening. The services will probably be held on Monday.
Miss Bond was a member of one of Niles pioneer families, her father having been John Bond. She was born in Niles, was educated in the Niles public schools, and was for many years a teacher in the Niles schools. The family home was near Seventh and Broadway until recently when it was sold by Miss Bond. For two winters Miss Bond was in Florida on acount[sic] of her ill health. She was the last of a family of five girls, one of whom was the wife of Major L.A. Duncan, deceased.
