General Notes: Husband - Maj. John Means Pomeroy
Being left an orphan in his early childhood, he was reared in the family of his uncle, Joseph Pomeroy, at Concord, Franklin County, Pennsylvania. His educational advantages were confined to the schools of the neighborhood, and six months at an academy in Chambersburg. However, he received a sound business training in his uncle's store, by which he was equipped for mercantile pursuits, to which most of his life was devoted until he purchased the Franklin Repository, in Chambersburg, in 1874. He had an interest in the tannery at Concord, 1842-7. He was afterward a merchant in Philadelphia, and the virtual founder of the town of Pomeroy, in Chester County. Mr. Pomeroy was a life long Whig and Republican, and active in politics from his youth. He represented Franklin County in the Legislature in 1846 and 1847; was a member of the Common Council, in Philadelphia, in 1859; a delegate of the Republican National Convention in 1860, supporting Abraham Lincoln; and a paymaster of volunteers for two years during the Civil war with the rank of major. In 1881-82, Major Pomeroy was again a member of the Legislature from Franklin County.
