Emily Gertrude Pond, who became the wife of James Allen in 1842, was
born at Calais, Maine, July 21, 1825, and was the eldest of the four children
of Charles Pond, who was drowned in the St. Croix river at Calais, Maine, in
1831, and Cynthia Scott Pond; Cynthia Scott was a daughter of the eldest
brother of General Winfield Scott, whose grandfather, James Scott, a
Scotchman of Clan Buceleuch, escaping after the disastrous battle of
Culloden, where he fought for the pretender of the English throne, fled to
Virginia, where he settled.
Sir Walter Scott's ancestors were of the same Clan Buceleuch and family.
The Duke of Buceleuch, now living in Scotland, still represents the clan and
the blood of this Scott family.
Mrs. Allen used to tell her children of sitting on the knee of General
Winfield Scott when she was a little girl and that the general was a relative
of her mother's.
A history of the life of General Scott shows that in 1839 he was sent by the
President of the United States to settle some trouble between the State of
Maine and the English in New Brunswick over some disputed land lying
along the border, and it was probably at that time he visited his relatives
at Calais, Maine.
Cynthia Scott Pond went to Sheboygan, Wis., with her daughter, Mrs. Allen,
when the family moved in 1850 and died there in August, 1851, at the age of
fifty-five years.
After the drowning of her husband in Maine she made a brave struggle to
care fore her four small children and to educate them as best she could.
Emily was the oldest and at the time of the death of her father was only six
years old. She was of bright and retentive mind, a natural grammarian and
speller, and obtained a fair common school education for those days. After
her marriage she lived in Baring till 1850 and gave her life to the duties of
her home and motherhood. Her life in Maine, in Sheboygan, Two Rivers
and the early years of Eau Claire was that common to the early pioneers of
new countries, rigorous, primitive, filled with hard work, little relaxation
and few luxuries, but through it all her sweet nature, her loving kindness
to her children, loyalty to her wifely duties and faith in her Maker
sustained her and gave her courage and strength to perform her daily tasks.
The old Allen homestead where her children grew up, married and moved to
homes of their own was always open to friends, children, grandchildren and
her kindred generally. It was the Mecca for those who had gone away. She
was a faithful and consistent member and worker of the Baptist Church, one
of the first members after its organization in the early days of Eau Claire.
After her husband was compelled to live South, owing to his injuries, she
and her son Charles lived in the old home as she could not stand the summer
heat of Florida. She was never very strong and at the age of seventy-seven
she died in Eau Claire, September 2, 1902, beloved and mourned by all who
knew her.
