Glenn E. Pond

1914-1986

Glenwood (Glenn) Emery Johnson Pond was born on 5 November 1914 in Lower Durham, York County, New Brunswick, and died on 22 March 1986 in Fredericton after a brief illness. Pond attended the Lower Durham School, and later graduated from the New Brunswick School of Agriculture at the Dominion Experimental Station of Fredericton. Pond published three collections of poetry: Rhymes of the Restigouche (1961); Mysie and Other Poems (1976) and Selected Verse (1984).  In addition to being a poet, Pond was a member of the Nashwaak Bicentennial Association and served as charter vice-president and a member of the executive and history committees. The association published newsletters seasonally, beginning in 1981 and ending in 2007, in which Pond was featured predominately, typically with a poem about the Nashwaak and settler life. In 1984, the association published And the River Rolled On… Two Hundred Years on the Nashwaak in celebration of the bicentennial. Pond wrote the chapter on the history of the early settlers in Lower Durham, as well as including personal anecdotes of his life in the village.
