Obituary, The Christian Advocate, Thursday, February 19, 1885:
"Buel:



It becomes my duty to record the death of another pioneer of Oregon Methodism in the person of Sarah Ann Buel who left us for Heaven on the 7th, of January. The deceased was born in Maryland Jan. 1800. Removed to New York in infancy. Here she was baptized by Bishop Asbury. Joining in the Westward march of emigration her people were removed to Indiana, where under the preaching of some early itinerant she was converted and joined the M. E. Church. It was in Switzerland County, Indiana, she married Elias Buel with whom she lived happily for 50 years. In '47 they crossed the plains, spending the winter of 47 and 48 in Vancouver now Washington State in the employ of the Hudson Bay Co. In the spring of 48 they located in Polk Co. Here she has ever since resided, living a consistent Christian life.
Just before her death, I asked her if Jesus was keeping His promise to be with her. "Oh, she replied, there is no fear of danger on that side." She and her husband loved dearly the church of their choice, were always active working members now reunited above they rose from their labors and their works do follow them. Their fitting monument stands on Mill Creek in the shape of a little wooden building known for miles around as Buel's Chapel. She died on Wednesday, Jan. 7th, aged 85 years. {This date does not agree with the gravestone which shows she died Jan 6, 1885.-jr}
