Around 1845 he organized , a blackface minstrel troupe which performed at Ordway Hall in Boston and also nationally to promote Ordway's publishing business. 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 Californian" in 1852 was written expressly for Ordway and his troupe. A number of 19th century songs were written for the Aeolians and/or dedicated to Ordway, including Jingle Bells. Ordway's Dreaming of Home and Mother (1868) was a very popular sentimental song of the Civil War era, and continues to be played; it is popular in East Asia in translated versions. In 1907, a Japanese version with lyrics entitled 旅愁 (Loneliness in Travel) by Kyukei Indou was published in a middle school song book and became popular immediately. Having heard the song while studying at Tokyo Fine Arts and Music School, Li Shutong translated it to Chinese with title of 送別 (Farewell) in 1915. It was used during the closing ceremony of 2022 Beijing Olympics. Graduating from Harvard Medical College in 1859, Ordway was one of the first surgeons to volunteer at the start of the Civil War, serving in the 6th Massachusetts Militia. He was one of the Union surgeons sent to tend to the wounded after the Battle of Gettysburg. Ordway served from 1859 to 1873 on Boston's School Board, and one term (1868) in the Massachusetts House of Representatives. He was opposed to corporal punishment in schools, sponsoring a bill to that effect in the legislature. Ordway was also responsible for founding the Massachusetts Angler's Association, the forerunner to the Massachusetts Fish and Game Association. He died in Boston, Massachusetts. His nephew Lucius Pond Ordway (the son of his older brother Aaron Ordway) was a major backer of 3M in its early days and served as its president. (en)
