DEATH OF MAJ. POND.
The Reaper Mows Down One o [sic] St. Paul's Old Settlers.
The announcement yesterday morning of the serious illness, of cancer of the stomach, of Maj. J. P. Pond is followed by that of his death, which occurred yesterday at his residence, 49 Summit avenue. His death removes from St. Paul an old pioneer, than whose figure none was more familiar on the public streets. Maj. Pond was born in Vermont in 1822, and has been in St. Paul since 1854. He has been successively connected with J. L. Farwell & Co., C. D. Strong and C. E. Mayo & Co., and for two years was connected with the adjutant general's office. He was always prominently connected with the Mercantile Library association, of which he was an incorporator, was president, and has always been a director. He was a member of the old Fourth regiment of New York, and was with it at the time of the Astor Place riot, earning his title as major by military duty. With the same regiment he was in the line of procession at the funeral of John Quincy Adams. He married his second wife, Miss Stultz, in 1878, but was again left a widower in 1883.
Few men were better known about the city, and his death leaves a gap in the line of old settlers whose names are inseperably connected with the early history of St. Paul.
