Wapello Republican, November 14, 1935

Sarah Ann, daughter of A. C. and Jemimia (Odle) Bond, was born in Scioto county, Ohio, October 11, 1872, and passed away at her home in Wapello, on Thursday, Nov. 7, at 5:45 a.m., aged 63 years and 26 days.

She came to Iowa with her parents when a small child. The family settled near Columbus Junction, and since that time Louisa county has been her home, with the exception of sixteen years that were spent in Lewis county, Mo.

Three years ago last January, she suffered a stroke, from which she never fully recovered, and since that time she has been practically an invalid, failing gradually, until about ten days ago she began to fail rapidly, and although she received every consideration and care from her sister and brothers, it was of no avail, and death came as a welcome relief.

Early in life she accepted Christ as her Savior, and her entire life was consistent with that faith.

During her long illness she was most patient and considerate of those who loved and cared for her, and she will be greatly missed in the home and community.

She is survived by three brothers and two sisters; viz.; Wm. Bond of Davenport, George, Tom and Nellie of Wapello, and Lena, of Mt. Pleasant; many other relatives, and a host of friends.

Funeral services were held from her late home on Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock, conducted by Rev. T. Warren. Two numbers, "Safe in the Arms of Jesus," and "We're Going Home to Die No More" were sung.

She was laid to rest in the Wapello cemetery.
