  POMEROY, JESSE, died in Stephenson County, Ill., on September 14, 
1878, aged ninety-three.  He had been blind for some time before his 
death.
  Of his early history little is known.  He was received on trial in 
the New York Conference in 1822.  In 1824 the Sharon Circuit became a 
part of Genesee Conference.  Mr. Pomeroy, being pastor of Sharon 
Circuit at the time, went with it.  In 1829 when the Oneida Conference 
was organized, he in the same manner became a member of Oneida.  He 
became a member of Wyoming by the accession of Oneida territory in 
1869.  It will be seen by his pastoral record that he was superannuated 
forty years.
  His fields of labor were as follows:  1822, Delaware; 1823, 
Jefferson; 1824-25, Sharon; 1826-27, Otsego; 1828-29, Litchfield; 1830, 
Camden; 1831, Vienna; 1832, Westmoreland; 1833, Steuben; 1834, Vienna; 
1835, Cortland; 1836-39, sd.; 1840, Otselic; 1841-78, sd.
