Bond, Sarah Adams, wife of Jesse Bond, was born May 12, 1843, at Bradley Edge [Possibly Baddeley Edge], Staffordshire, England, the daughter of Samuel Adams and Bessie Mumford. She was baptized in 1851 by Samuel Adams and emigrated to America in 1857. After a temporary sojourn in Iowa City, she went back to New York in 1861 and there met her parents with whom she emigrated to Utah that same year, crossing the plains in Capt. Ira Eldredge's company. On the journey she made the acquaintance of Jesse Bond, who was one of the teamsters, and she became his wife Sept. 24, 1861, having arrived in the Valley Sept. 15th of that year. She became the mother of nine children and died at Heber City Dec. 1, 1908. Sister Bond was a faithful and devoted wife, a loving and kind mother, and the friend of all her associates. She was united with her husband in all his faithful labors and always insisted on paying a full and honest tithing. LDS Biographical Encyclopedia, Andrew Jenson, Vol. 3, p.26 |
