Bond, Thomas Emerson (Clergyman journalist was born)

clergyman, journalist, was born in 1813 in Baltimore, Md. He became a local methodist preacher, and also studied medicine and took his degree in Baltimore. His father was editor of the Baltimore Christian Advocate and Journal, and young Bond became his efficient assistant, distinguished for humor and sarcastic power. After the close of the war he was one of the originators of the Episcopal Methodist, the organ of the southern church, but subsequently severed his connection with that paper and established another journal in the same interest. After publishing that for a short time he consolidated it with the Southern Christian Advocate, published simultaneously in Baltimore and St. Louis, of which he was associate editor. He died Aug. 18, 1872, in Harford county, Md.
