He served Jackson county as representative in the Douglas House at the time of the Populist "war" in Topeka. .... Greeley Pomeroy accompanied by his mother and the body of his father here from Eureka, Mont. .... The Holton (KS) Recorder, August 28, 1913: The Life of John Franklin Pomeroy. .... the beginning of his life, December 18, 1832, was among the vine clad hills and beautiful valleys of Worthington, Mass., and its close at the home of his son, Charles William Pomeroy, of Kalispel, Montana, among the snow-capped mountain peaks and sun kissed valleys of the great northwest, when on the seventeenth day of August, 1913, he folded the drapery of his mantle about him and lay down to pleasant dreams .... His boyhood was spent on a farm in Massachusetts, where he received a public school education and spent some time at an academy nearby. At the age of 22 he started out for himself in life's battles and for two years clerked in a store in Hartford, Connecticut. Here he acquired a desire to "Go west and grow up with the country," and soon landed in Illinois and worked on the farm of John Bryant (father of Peter Bryant), for two years. In the winter of 1858, he in company with Chester Dee and Peter Bryant, equipped with an ox team and a covered wagon, he started for the gold fields of California to seek his fortune. In the spring of 1859 they came to this country and pushed on to the Blue river, where they met many retuning gold seekers and came back to take to homesteads on Banner ... On December 30, 1862, he was married to Martha Jane Blake, of near Circleville, Kan. To this union were born four children, Katie, Ellen, Charles Wm., now of Kalispel, Mont., and Scott. Kate was an unusually bright child but in her eleventh year was called to be with her mother who died on January 2, 1872, Ellen and Scott having died when less than one year of age .... On the first of September, 1872, he was married to his present bereaved widow, Isabella Clark. To this union were born seven children. Delia, the first born, died before she was one year old, Franklin C., who now occupies the old homestead on Banner ... Horace Greeley, now of Eureka, Montana, Alice Lyall, of Peoria, Ill.; Harriett S. Billard, of Santa Fe, New Mexico; Clara B. Dunn and John A. Pomeroy, of Holton. He made his home on Banner for 34 years and in 1893 he moved to Holton to give the children better school advantages and to enjoy a well earned rest. Yet he kept the management of his larger farm until 6 years ago, when his son, Frank D., assumed control .... In 1867 he was a member of the school board of Banner, when the school house was erected. In 1871 he was a member of the board of county commissioners when the court house was built, and signed the bonds for the first railroad that came to Holton during his term of office. In 1880 he was trustee and member of the building committee when the M. E. church was erected on Banner. In 1881, he was a trustee of Campbell University when it came into existence. In 1892 and ‘95 he was a member of the Kansas legislature ... In 1897 he was elected mayor of Holton and directed the erection of the city building. In 1906 he was chairman of the school board when the high school building came forth .... he came from a family of nine children, four brothers and five sisters. Four sisters and one brother still survive him. He left his home on July 10th to visit his two sons and families in Montana .... There are a few inaccuracies in Mr. Hamm's obituary of J. F. Pomeroy. John Bryant, for whom Mr. Pomeroy worked in Illinois, was a brother, not the father of Peter Bryant. Also, in starting west their destination was Pike's Peak instead of California.
