the use, possession or sale Of
cigarettes a crime after January

reason to believe that tho same

Obituary.
MRS. w. T. POMEROY.

Mrs. W.T.. Pomeroy, wife of w. L.
Pomeroy, passed away last Saturday
morning at her home on Catlin ST., Ed
gerton. Mrs. Pomeeoy was born in
the town of GAINESVILLE, June 80, 1860, a
daughter of Albert Otis Warner and
his wife Nancy Shepherd. The Warner
| family came from Vermont in the early
forties, birth record showing that the
family was here in 1841. Mrs. Pom
eroy's father was soldier in the Union
army of the civil war. In 1864 he was
in the command of General Sherman on
his march to the sea, and on August
20, 1864, he was killed in battle.
On the 1st of October, 1879, just
forty years ago, Emma E. Warner was
married to w. T. Pomeroy, and since
1880 they have lived in Edgerton.
Three daughters came to bless the
home, Mrs. J. L. Miller of Madison,
Mrs. L. w. Hutson and Miss Beulah
Pomeroy of Edgerton, who together
with their father, Mr.. w. T. Pomeroy,
five grandchildren, a sister, Mrs. Ella
Smith of Madison, and twin brother,
Mr.. Elmer E. Warner of GAINESVILLE,
live, to mourn her death. Mrs. Pom
eroy was charter member of the Con-
gregational church of Edgerton, an
active member of the Ladies society,
its Missionary society, the Eastern
Star, the Red Cross, the w. G. T. u,
the Monday club and the Monument
Circle. Her death will be loss, not
only to her home, but also to these or
CARNATIONS which were close to her
heart.
Mrs. Pomeroy began to fail in health
about year ago, but she was up and
about until within six weeks ago when
she became too i'll to leave the house.
She was confined to her bed about four
weeks.
The funeral was held from the home
last Tuesday afternoon, the Rev. Mar
vim r. Brandt of Sheboygan, close
friend Of the family and formerly pas
tor of the Congregational church here,
reading the service. All the immediate
members of the family were present,
also her sister, Mrs. Smith, and her
two daughters of Madison, and her
brother, Elmer E. Warner of James
vile. Other relatives and friends from
out of town were O. R. Pomeroy and
wife and Harry Pomeroy from Gays
Mills, P. w. Brown and Mrs. C. L.
McMullen of Madison, Mr.. and Mrs.
Root of Stoughton, F. A. Talmadge
and family of Fort Atkinson and Miss
Bessie Badger of GAINESVILLE. Andrew
Mcintosh, L. G. Whittet, G. w. Doty,
j. w. Conn, Henry Ebbott and Henry
Johnson acted as pallbearers. Inter-
ment was made at Fassett cemetery.
The Reporter offers its condolences to
the bereaved family.
