An active member of his community, Ola Bon belonged to the Arlington United Methodist Church. He was a member of the Oklahoma and National Cattlemen’s Associations and served on the Lincoln County Fair Board. He was also a member of the Arlington I.O.O.F. Lodge and was the self-appointed "Mayor" of Arlington, Oklahoma.
