A Departed Pioneer

The funeral services of the late Orrin Pomeroy were held Saturday afternoon
at his home in the town of Fulton. Mr. Pomeroy was born June 29, 1816, in
Suffield, Conn. When 23 years of age he removed to Ohio. He came to
Wisconsin in 1853 and settled in the town of Fulton where he resided until
his death. In 1868 he was married to Amelia Wood, who still lives to mourn
his death. Two children also survive him, Mrs. R. L. Page of Fulton and
Mrs. Fred P. Grove of Janesville. Mr. Pomeroy lived to the ripe age of 87
years. Until two years ago his health was vigorous. Of late, however, he
gradually failed. His death was due to a general breakdown and a form of
apoplexy. He was a man of sterling character, who commanded by his
integrity and kindliness of heart the respect and love of all who knew him.
