Henry Pond was born in 1862 in Franklin County, Indiana. His father was William Henry Pond, who relocated the family to Marion Township, Shelby County, Indiana, in 1863. Pond’s father was a successful farmer in the area.
As an adult, Pond married Etta Canady and they had six children. Pond remained in Shelby County, Indiana, his entire life, working the land as his father had. Henry Pond died ca. 1942.
