Generation: 1

  1. 1.  Pierre Rodolphe Bonard was born 13 Apr 1911, Croix, Switzerland (son of Jean Louis Bonard and Clara Mullen); died 17 Jan 1972.

    Notes:

    In the 1930 census, Pierre Bonard is age 19, living in Lincoln, RI, with his brother Marcel and wife Theresa.

    In 1940, Pierre and Sylvia Bonard are living in Lincoln, RI. He is a driver for a dairy farm; she is a clerk at a department store.

    The following information is from the Standard-Times:
    As a young man, Pierre worked on his family's farm in Croix, Switzerland. Being adventurous and seeking greater opportunities in farming, he came to America and settled in Saylesville. There he worked on his brother's dairy farm until 1941 when he went to work for the M. S. Danforth Dairy Farm in Exeter as a farm foreman.
    In 1943 young Bonard wanted to do something for his new country, so he joined the Navy. And it was while he was in the middle of the invasion of Iwo Jima on 20 February 1945, that he dedicated himself to the service of God. When he returned to the States, he became a Sunday School teacher and Deacon at Wood River Church in Wyoming, RI. In 1960 he was ordained an Elder for the Six Principle Baptist denomination, and in 1958 reopened the old Baptist Meeting House on Stony Lane in North Kingstown, where he served as pastor until his death. An article in the Wickford newspaper, The Standard-Times, on 7 May 1970 told the story of his life and ministry.
