Sir Robert Bond was prime minister of Newfoundland from 1900 to 1909.
Bond is best known for negotiating two free trade agreements with the United States although both were never ratified owing to objections raised with the British government by Canada. Bond's administration was a time of relative prosperity for Newfoundland and marked the beginnings of the country's greater role in international defence arrangements.
Leaving politics in 1914, Bond retired to his home at Whitbourne. He died there in 1927.
On learning of Bond's death, his former colleague and one-time political adversary Sir Edward Morris [later Lord Morris] wrote: "He was a fearless advocate and an attractive and convincing speaker. No personal or party allegiance could win his adherence to any measure he did not believe in. Industrious and painstaking, he was ever ready to consider any policy or measure that aimed at the advancement of Newfoundland and the amelioration of her people."
