- Provincial Wesleyan - Wednesday, 25 October 1871 - Page 4 -Obituary -Miss Sarah A. Bond, of Rawdon -In early life Miss Bond was attracted toward the matter of personal religion under the labours of the Methodist ministers who then visited Rawdon.; but the instrumentality rendered effectual in leading her to decision in regard to service to God was a tract entitled, “The Fatal Resolution.” She then made choice of “the good part,” and sought and obtained an interest in the merits of the Saviour, and rejoiced in finding “the pearl of great price.” She immediately united with the Methodist church, and from that time until her death, a period of thirty-seven years her course was throughout one of entire Christian consistency, and of earnest desire for the glory of the Redeemer in the prosperity of His cause, Her last illness was one of five weeks continuance, during which she in patience possessed her soul, meekly submissive to the will of Her Heavenly Father, confiding in His love, and in the full assurance of the house not made with hands eternal in the heavens. She fell asleep in Jesus on the 2nd of October 1871, aged 52 years.
