The father removed to Tennessee when young, and was engaged in farming until his death in .1857, his widow surviving him until 1868, when she, too, passed away.
Hon. James K. Bond removed to Avoyelles Parish with his mother when twelve years of age, and although he received a good early education in the common schools, he was debarred from entering college on account of the opening of the Rebellion. In 1852 he enlisted in the First, Louisiana Cavalry; the same year was discharged on account of physical disability, but at the end of about two mouths he re-enlisted in the Second Louisiana Cavalry, and served until the war terminated, being in the Trans-Mississippi Department, and in all the engagements of that department with the exception of Mansfield and Pleasant Hill, during which time he was on courier duty.
At the dose of the war be returned to the plantation, and has since devoted his time to its operation. He has been interested in the politics and has held a number of official positions, being a member of the police jury from 1885 until 1888, in April of the latter year being elected to represent this parish in the State Legislature, his term expiring in 1852. Mr. Bond introduced the bill that created so much excitement in Avoyelles Parish, providing for the removal of the court-house to the lowlands.
