Cordelia Ann Kirkpatrick came to Idaho Territory in 1863 with her family. They first attempted John Bozeman's ill-fated first attempt to cross the Sioux country but were turned back at the risk of great peril if they continued on. They returned to Laramie and proceeded on the old Mormon trail and arrived at Bannock on October 16 of that same year. The attempted shortcut ended up adding an additional six weeks to their overall journey. In Jan 1866 at age of 14, she married Henry S. Pond. She and Henry welcomed three children, Mary, Maurice and Marcia. She died at Bannack from complications of multiple fevers that plagued the territory in 1875. Her son Maurice is buried beside his mother in the Hill Cemetery overlooking the ghost town of Bannack, now a Montana State Park
Cordelia Ann Kirkpatrick was born on Feb. 20, 1852 at Brattleboro, Windham County Vermont to James Kirkpatrick and Mary Abigail Martin. When Cordelia was a young girl, her father would travel to Bolendron, Cuba where he worked as an engineer on a sugar plantation. On October 2, 1853, James would die from complications relating to Yellow Fever. It is not known whether his body was ever returned to his home in the United States or if he was laid to rest there. Mary Abigail Martin Kirkpatrick would soon marry James Monroe Mann and the family would travel west, first to Wisconsin and then to Montana. On October 16, 1863, they arrived at Bannack by ox-wagon train after 7 months on the trail. The Kirkpatricks were among the first to attempt the now famous "Bozeman Trail" in the company of John Bozeman. The travelers were turned back by the hostile Indians. Some of these same Indians offered to buy her. The family found an alternate route into what was then "Idaho Territory" thus saving their lives and established themselves at Bannack City. On Jan 21, 1863, Cordelia was married to Pioneer, Henry Smith Pond and they had three children, Mary, Maurice, and Marcia. On September 27, 1875, Cordelia would die from complications relating to Scarlet & Typhoid Fevers, she was just 23. Cordelia left behind two young daughters, Mary and Marcia Pond.
