John Pond Ordway (August 1, 1824 – April 27, 1880)^[1]) was a doctor, composer, music entrepreneur,

and politician.Born in Salem, Massachusetts, in the mid-1840s John Ordway and his father Aaron opened a music store in Boston.John was also a music publisher and composer; his song Twinkling Stars are Laughing, Love (1855) was recorded by the Hayden Quartet as late as 1902 and 1904.

Dreaming of Home and Mother (1851) was a popular sentimental song of the Civil War era,

and continues to be played;

it is popular in China and Japan in translated versions.^[2] Around 1845 he organized Ordway's Aeolians,

a blackface minstrel troupe^[3] which performed at Ordway Hall in Boston and also nationally to promote

Ordway's publishing business.^[4][5] Future bandleader/composer Patrick Gilmore worked in Ordway's store

and also appeared with the Aeolians. James Lord Pierpont's first major composition "The Returned
