Dr. J. B. Pardoe Rites Tomorrow. Bound Brook, New Jersey. Funeral services for Dr. Jonathan B. Pardoe, 72, of 303 E. Main St., who died yesterday (April 12, 1944) at his home, will be held tomorrow at 2 p.m. in the Taggart Funeral Home in charge of the Rev. W. W. Rock, pastor of the Bound Brook Presbyterian Church. Interment will follow in Highland Cemetery, Hopewell. Surviving are a son, Marcus Pardoe of North Branch; a daughter, Mrs. Elizabeth Hassan; two grandchildren, and a brother, W. D. Pardoe, Yardley, Pennsylvania. Dr. Pardoe, a retired dentist and a curio collector, was a member of Eastern Star Lodge 105, F. and A. M., and the BPO Elks, Bound Brook Lodge 1388. Dr. Pardoe, widely-known as a hobbyist and photographic artist, collected thousands of relics of. all descriptions and had them on display in his dental offices where the patients' pains were often forgotten; in the wonderment that the exhibit aroused. He also maintained a museum across the hall from his office. Dr. Pardoe held a sale of most of his collections several years ago. The items included rare antiques of all descriptions, nature studies, paintings. Insects, old china, campaign badges, barber's bottles, shaving mugs, canes and other bric-a-brac. He was also a talented photographer who refused to "go commercial" although his pictures brought him honors here and abroad. Dr. Pardoe's best known work in photography was one entitled "Waiting for the Train," a picture study taken in New York's Pennsylvania Station. His interest in collecting unusual ornaments started when as a boy of 14 while working on his uncle's farm his plow turned up a three-cornered Indian war arrow.
