Cordele Dispatch
                      MRS. L. L. POND MEETS TRAGIC DEATH
                                 19 JUNE 1938
     Automobiles are the means of giving much pleasure and many times even more
pain in the tragic accidents which deprive us if our loved ones. This was the
case which snuffed out the life of one of our finest women, Anna Coffman Barber
Pond, wife of Mr. L. L. Pond of Cordele. Mr. Pond, her husband , is head of Pond
Brothers Peanut Mill here.
     Mrs. Pond was one of the most greatly beloved women of Cordele and since
coming here to live eleven years ago she and her good family have greatly
endeared themselves to the community.
     She was active in club work and in all phases of church work. She and her
husband who was a deacon in the First Baptist  church, were always present at
each service of their church.
     The Pond family father, mother and two sons with their families came here
eleven years ago from Virginia. Mrs. Pond, by her fine culture, breeding and
refinement made her a true representative of this fine old state in which she
took much pride. The Ponds had another son, Lesile L. Pond who is in the army
now stationed in the Canal Zone.
     They also lost a small son and daughter in their childhood, but the three
grown sons, Thomas, Leslie L. and S. B. whom we know here, are all fine citizens.
     It was extremely sad that it was on a pleasure trip, a visit back to her
old home in Fredricksburg, Va., that the fatal accident should occur and what
promised to be so much joy to her and her loved ones should have ended so
disastrously, however, we know there was none better prepared to have been
snatched so suddenly away from loved ones and all that she held so dear than
Mrs. Pond.
     She took much pride in her club work and derived much pleasure from her
church activities, but her home meant ,ore to her that any other thing. It gave
her much pleasure to collect and surround herself with beautiful objects of
every sort.
     The whole community is shocked and grieved over the tragic accident and
extends sympathy to the bereaved ones. She was laid away tenderly on Sunday
afternoon, June 19th, in the family lot beside her father, mother and other
loved ones.
