Elias Austin Bond or William Bond Portrait
Title
Elias Austin Bond or William Bond Portrait
Description
Portrait of a man tentatively identified as Elias Austin Bond of Forest Grove, Oregon; or possibly his brother, William Bond. The identification is based on the existence of this photograph in a run of alumni photos in the Pacific University Archives, and a handwritten note written on the back stating, "Bond?" The portrait also appears to match later portraits of Elias Austin Bond. It was made in Forest Grove, most likely between 1890-1893.
William Bond graduated from Pacific University in 1892 and then became a grocer and later a teacher in Chehalis, WA. His brother Elias Austin Bond graduated in 1893 and became a teacher. He served on the faculty of Western Washington University from 1907-1947. "Bond Hall" on the WWU campus is named for him.
