Bradford Witness newspaper article on the fire which destroyed the Bond Head United Church in 1941. From a scrapbook made by Vira Bateman.
"Almost isolated by roads which were nearly impassable, residents of Bond Head and surrounding districts yesterday formed a bucket brigade and fought flames which, for a time threatened to destroy part of the town. The Bond Head United Church (upper left) was completely destroyed. The fire started in a near-by garage owned by William Jardine, who was badly burned in an attempt to rescue his car (lower left). Three of the volunteer firemen are shown (upper right) cooling off after the battle. They are (left to right) cooling off after the battle. They are (left to right) Archie McLean, Cookstown; Ernie Hughes, Fennell's Corners, and John Bell of Toronto. Furniture from the adjacent houses was piled in a plowed field for protection (lower right). Inset is Rev. T.J. Jewitt, minister of the church, who helped fight the blaze."
