Stephen Bosworth Pound (January 14, 1833 – May 14, 1911) was an American pioneer, lawyer, senator and judge in Nebraska.
[1] Pound was not inclined to follow in the family's farming endeavours, and his father, accommodating his son's interest in learning, sent him to an academy at Macedon, New York, then the private liberal arts Union College at Schenectady, from which he graduated as valedictorian.
[2] Having been admitted to the New York Bar in 1863, Pound developed a successful career as an attorney, forming a law partnership with Judge Lyman Sherwood.
[4] In 1869, Pound married Laura, daughter of farmer[5] Joab Stafford Biddlecombe, whose mother, Sarah (née Read) was a descendant of the Quaker martyrs Lawrence and Cassandra Southwick.
Laura Pound was a director of the Lincoln public library, and a prominent member of literary and arts associations and of the Daughters of the American Revolution in Nebraska, being elected state regent several times.
