There he met Dwight and was eventually housed and tutored by relative Timothy Dwight IV then president at Yale College and a founder of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions. Today ʻŌpūkahaʻia is best known as one of the first Hawaiians to convert to Christianity and an early translator of the Hawaiian language into English. His desire to become a missionary was among the inspirations for the opening of the Foreign Mission School in Cornwall Connecticut which published this posthumous biography. It was issued with a sermon delivered at ʻŌpūkahaʻia's funeral by Lyan Beecher and three other pieces related to the founding of the Foreign Mission School.

This noteworthy archive consisting of over 820 original photographs and over 1000 individual negative images provides an essential visual record of the historic archaeological and architectural surveys carried out by the Frosts for the Hawaiian Mission Children’s Society beginning in 1967 in the Bond Historic District located in the Iole Ahupua’a one of the few remaining traditional land divisions in Hawaii. The Bond homestead Kalahikiola Church the Kohala Seminary and attached medical doctor’s office are all located within the Bond District and the well preserved homestead was first established by Rev. Elias Bond 1813-1896 in 1841 with the Kalahikiola Church completed in 1855 rebuilt after devastating earthquake in 2006 and the Kohala girl’s school founded in 1872. The hundreds of photos show the household objects textiles tools furnishings documents artwork books equipment and more all accumulated from 1841 through 1930 by the Bond family. Elias and his wife Ellen had sailed with the Ninth Company of Missionaries from Boston and settled at Kohala HI in the mission established by Rev. Isaac Bliss who had completed the main building before their arrival. The Bond’s immediately began adding additional buildings such as the wash house archway & walls foundations of woodshed and carpenter sheds as well as begun work on the Kalahikiola Church. Rev. Bond had founded the Kohala Sugar Co. in 1862 as “The Missionary Plantation†to support his church and schools and he refused to institute the slave-like labor conditions of other sugar growers in the Hawaiian Islands. The profits made the Kohala Sugar Co. one of the largest benefactors to other missions operating for 110 years. Many of the artifacts depicted appear to have been accumulated and used by Dr. Benjamin Bond 1853-1930 his son who finished medical school at the Univ. of Michigan in 1882 and returned to live and work on the homestead with a doctor’s office attached to the main house in 1884 for his practice. After Dr. Bond married Emma Mary Renton 1866-1951 in 1889 a wood-framed cottage was added at the East end for them. In addition a small shed was expanded to shelter a horse carriage and single horse stall for emergency medical calls. A series of photos shows the scene of the Frost’s driving to the homestead and then heading into the Bond properties. The photos meticulously document the china glassware stoneware needlepoint & embroidery samples an ABC sampler by Eliza Bond signed 1817 silver flatware bellows original photos & illustrations of homestead buildings chairs large benches and sideboards. The kitchen cooking implements cookware and equipment receive significant attention with photos showing the ancient kitchen burners hot water tank propane or oil-fired stove historic coral stone chimney dining chairs and more. Of particular interest are the extended series of images depicting the artifacts medical instruments and furnishings in Dr. Bond’s office including his book collection Chautauqua desk large safe dried medical herbs razors astronomy atlas anatomy atlas diagrams eyeglasses glass beakers pharmacy tools and much more. Also included are photos of abandoned boxes for chemical and pharmaceutical supplies in the attic. The breadth of clothing textiles toiletry items jewelry rope beds architectural elements family photos a Chinese compass art easel and more reflect the growing affluence of the family not only from Dr. Bond’s practice but also as the sugar production and mill expand however with much of the profit still being devoted to Mission Society projects. The negatives and photos also show the wagons used by the doctor and his family the extensive tools employed on the homestead to maintain not only the family holdings but also the Church and Girl’s School buildings. Photos also show a bookpress bottles sawmill equipment a rock crusher installed for road paving and more. After Dr. Bond’s death the buildings were maintained by a special trust fund which terminated in 1968 and subsequent to that time a family corporation helped finance the care of the estate. The manuscript diagrams and notes by the Frost indicate where windows were replaced from the original when electrical work was done on the property improvements to the buildings where the hallway from the shop to kitchen was located the women’s toilet pantry cupboards and rough charts and maps of locations of buildings and objects on some of the walls. For a time the Industrial Building housing 12 occupational students and one teacher continued to operate but in 1955 the school stopped functioning. For over a decade the properties were used for conferences retreats and camping grounds but eventually they became unoccupied and unused so they were in very poor condition when surveyed by the Frosts over three years. The Frosts prepared a very scarce photo album and report consisting of 6 pages of text and 12 leaves containing 82 tipped-in photos in January 1968 followed by a Feasibility Study for the Hawaiian Mission Children’s Society in 1969 but we could find no similar extant collection of these photographs or records of this historical survey. The National Register Survey was completed in 1973 and then filed in 1977 finally approved in 1978 for adding the properties to the National Register.
