Dr. Thomas P. Boud was born in Harrison County, W. Va., June 13, 1825. He studied medicine in Whitewater, Wis., and graduated at La Porte, Ind., in 1847. He located at Tradersville about 1847, and boarded first with Isaac Fox, and afterward with Abram Lewis. He moved to Mechanicsburg about 1850. He was elected Treasurer of Champaign County, Ohio, in 1861, and was commissioned Assistant Surgeon of the Sixty-sixth Regiment Ohio Infantry, but had to resign on account of ill health. Recovering his health after his return home, he was again tempted to accept a commission in the Thirty-second Ohio Infantry, of which, I think, he became the Surgeon. Again breaking down in health, he again had to resign his commission. I knew Dr. Bond before the war, and in the army also. He was a good physician and an educated and accomplished gentleman. When he joined our Ohio Brigade prior to the Vicksburg campaign, I was detailed to a "feather-bed" position at Division Hospital. Bond was a stranger in the brigade, and I was his friend at home before the war. I had a feeling that he was too frail for the hardships of roughing it in the open air, day and night, in sunshine and in storm, through many eventful weeks, without shelter at night, which could only be found at Division headquarters. I went to headquarters unknown to him, and had the detail changed from myself to Dr. Bond; but my humanity resulted to my advantage after all, as I was detailed afterward as the Division Hospital Director. He died at his home, in Mechanicsburg, Ohio, of disease contracted in the army, March 28, 1866. He was married, September 9, 1851, to Miss Mary J. Blew, who survives him.
