OBITUARY

POMEROY-Died, at Washoe, Ada Co., I. T., May 1, 1886, of consumption, Mrs. H. 
P. Pomeroy.

Mrs. Pomeroy was born near Prentiss, Maine, April 15th, 1862. Her parents, S. 
D. B. and M. Webb, two brothers and two sisters are still living in Prentiss. 
She lived during her childhood days and until she reached the age of 21 at 
Prentiss. At the age of 21 she went in company with her brother, Nathan Webb, 
to Boseman, Montana, where she had two brothers and one sister living. This 
move was made for her health. She united with the Methodist Church in the year 
1878, and has been a zealous Christian all the rest of her life. While living 
at Bozeman on July 25, 1883, she was married to H. P. Pomeroy (formerly of 
Bowensburg, Illinois,) and one year afterwards moved to Boise Valley to find a 
more suitable climate. They located near the Star Post office, where they 
remained one and one-half years, making many friends, for none could know her 
but to love her. The last of March of this year, she with her husband moved to 
Washoe bottom, where she was taken with a very copious hemorrhage of the lungs, 
from which she rallied to stay with her husband but one month. She died firmly 
believing in the promises of the Bible; and although her sufferings were great, 
she never for one moment thought of doubting God's wisdom or of questioning his 
wisdom as made manifest towards her. She bore her sufferings with great 
patience, never once murmuring, sad we do but feel it meet to say that she was 
better fitted to depart and dwell with the angels than to stay with us below. 

At 1:30 o'clock a.m., May 1st, her spirit quietly but triumphantly passed 
through "the gates ajar". To mourn for her are left the husband, father and 
mother, three sisters and five brothers, and many other relatives as well as a 
host of friends. Annie was a good and dutiful daughter, a faithful, 
affectionate and loving wife, and a gentle, loving sisters. 
Washoe, Idaho, May 9, 1886.
