Historical Note
Fred Bond was State Engineer of Wyoming from 1899-1903. He came to Cheyenne, Wyoming, with his twin brother Frank in the 1880s. Fred Bond moved to Buffalo in 1894 to construct the city water system. The family returned to Cheyenne when Fred Bond received his appointment as state engineer. After his death in 1903, his widow Clara Williamson Bond was appointed state librarian. Frank Bond, also an engineer, prepared Holt's 1883 map of Wyoming. He left Wyoming in 1900 to work for the federal government.
