Sarah Ann (Basinger) Bond was born May 11, 1860 in Brazito, Cole County, Missouri. She was the third of four children born to William Barton and Lucinda (Scott) Basinger.
After the Basinger family moved to Pleasant Hill, Missouri, Sarah met Barton Nolan Bond. They were married on May 13, 1875. The morning following the wedding ceremony, Mr. and Mrs. Bond left in a covered wagon for Texas. After driving thirty-five days, they located at Rhea's Mill in Collin County, Texas where they worked for William Rhea who owned a ranch and grist mill. Mr. Bond was the ranch foreman and Mrs. Bond cooked and managed the ranch house for Mrs. Rhea.
The couple's first child L. Rhea was born at Rhea's Mill in Collin County September 15, 1876. After three years in Collin County, the Bonds moved to Wise County where their second child Ollie was born September 2, 1878. The family then moved to Denton County, Texas where their daughter Lela was born October 13, 1881 in Roanoke, and their daughter Willie was born November 13, 1884 in Mountain Springs. Following a move to Cooke County, their son Luke was born June 23, 1888, and their daughter Charlotte was born August 10, 1889.
In November 1890, in two covered wagons and with six children, the family forded the Red River and moved to Alex, Indian Territory, which at that time consisted of only a post office. Mr. Bond was an employee in the post office for a time. Their next three children were born in Alex, Frances was born September 22, 1893, Grace Ann was born November 22, 1895, and Bart Nolan Bond, Jr. was born June 18, 1898.
The Bonds moved from Alex to Ireton three miles to the northeast, where their last two children were born: Edna, December 1, 1901, and Ike, born June 30, 1904.
Soon after the birth of their eleventh and last child, the Bond family moved across the county line to the Curty community, which was located in the southwest corner of McClain County. There they owned and operated a store/post office combination and farmed and raised cattle and hogs.
About the time World War I started, the Bonds moved to Lindsay where they owned a furniture store and Mr. Bond was Justice of the Peace. Mr. and Mrs. Bond celebrated their 50th and 60th wedding anniversaries in Lindsay where they were active members of the First Christian Church. Mr. Bond was a member of the Masonic Lodge and Mrs. Bond was a member of the Order of Eastern Star. Mrs. Bond enjoyed quilting and was an excellent cook. The Bonds often entertained large groups in their home and had a reputation for hospitality.
Mr. and Mrs. Bond were pioneers in Texas and in Oklahoma. Although they faced many hardships, they always did their full share toward building up the communities in which they lived.
Mrs. Bond united with the Baptist Church at Elizabethtown, Texas in her mid-20s. When she moved to Lindsay, she placed her membership in the Christian Church and was a faithful member of the church. She lived her religion in a beautiful, practical way.
Mr. and Mrs. Bond, who were called Daddy Bond and Mother Bond by family and friends, celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary May 13, 1935, with a host of friends and relatives present to join in the festivities.
Mrs. Bond passed away in Lindsay, Oklahoma in December 13, 1935 at the age of 75.
