has been encouraged by rich
patrons. frequently no has won

which their art brought. knew the
terrific contest, and tho Joy Of
final success. In a rich Repub-
lie one would expect to find every
effort being made to find and

What. II anything. is being
done in Washington to discover
such talented boys and girls. of
whom Aurelius Battaglia is but
ono? What opportunities have
they for special instruction in
drawing before the close of those
schooldays when the workday

school teachers are most faithful,
but they teach so many-Aure-

to provide special art instruction
for public school children and

Various cities have in their art
galleries study rooms for Satur-

in charcoal drawing. water-coior

Obituary
w. III. Pomeroy.


William Henry Pomeroy was born
at Centreville, Ohio, May Z, 1910. a
son of Chester and Isabelle Pomeroy.
He came overland to Wisconsin
with his father in 1857 and settled
on the farm now occupied by j. T..
Pomeroy. The rest of the family came
by rail. His education was completed
in Albion Academy, after which he
became a teecher of mathematics
there. He served as supervisor, in
the Town of Fulton, and helped lay
out what is now known as West Full
ton Street. He was Treasurer and
Trustee of the M. E. Church for over
thirty years, acting as Treasurer up
to the time of his death.
He was married April 10, 1889 to
Miss Flora A. Sherman, daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. B. B. Sherman.
He passed away at his home in the
city of Edgerton January IL, 1922.
He is survived by his widow, a
brother J. I. Pomeroy, two nieces,
Mrs. Clara Mas and Mrs. Fannie
Mas, and two nephews Elmer and
Fayette Pomeroy.
The funeral was held at 200
o'clock at the house and 2:30 at the
M. E. Church Sunday and the body
laid to rest in the Fassett Cemetery.
It was in the field of human up
lift that Mr.. Pomeroy was particular
ly active, and in which his memory
and usefulness will be longest felt.
Few men can claim cleaner life of
sympathetic service. Splendidly re-
ligious himself, he was broad minded
and tolerant of others, yet always
working cheerfully and persistently
for betterment in every possible way.
He affiliated with the Methodist
church in this city in 1864 ten years
after the organization of that soci-
ETY. and under the passionate of w. w
Case. Soon after this he was appoint
ed a leader of one of the classes in
the early day when the Methodists
met in classes. He was from that
time until his death an officer or
teacher in the church, a period of SER
vice covering fifty-seven years. In
these varied and responsible positions
he gave faithful and valuable service
putting his life into the service of
others. He carried his christianity in
to every phase of his life, and the
influence of such a. life in this cof-
munity was a spiritual asset the
termination of which is a distinct loss
While the Methodist circles knew him
best, and will miss his kindly genial
in their meetings, the
death of Mr.. Pofneroy is not alone a
loss to them, as indeed it is not to
his relatives; it is loss to the whole
community who have learned to adj
mire and love the quiet sincerity of
his life
