William Henry Harrison Tondee and his wife Mary Ellen Williams Tondee had no children which survived birth.
The following was contributed by junkbuyercbd:
Capt. William H. Tondee was born in Marion County (now Schley), Ga., in 1841; and on November 8, 1912, answered the last rool call at his home, in Lumpkin.
Capt. Tondee began his business career when only fifteen. He was living in Savannah at the beginning of the war, and enlisted with the Republican Blues, going with the company to Fort Pulaski for three months' service. He then re-enlisted from his old home, Ellaville, Ga., and joined the Schley Volunteers, serving first as orderly sergeant and afterwards as lieutenant. He took part in all the principal battles around Richmond, and was severely wounded at Thoroughfare Gap. After his wound healed, he returned to his command, and remained until the surrender.
He came back home penniless, but soon established himself in the business world. A few years ago he removed to Lumpkin, and was there engaged in the warehouse business until his death. He was a member of the Stewart County Camp, and was always a loyal friend of the Daughters of the Confederacy, making liberal contributions to the building of Confederate monuments in Lumpkin and in his old home town, Ellaville. He was kind to the veterans, and many of them enjoyed the Reunions at his expense. In 1868, he was married to Miss Mary Williams, of Americus.
Captain Tondee was public-spirited and optimistic. He wielded an influence for good citizenship. He was kind in manner, and in his consideration for all men, rich and poor, he exemplified the highest order of gentleman of the Old South. (From a sketch by M.C.H.)
