The Holton (KS) Recorder, April 18, 1918:
The life of Elizabeth Catherine Clark began at Putnamville, Putnam County, Indiana, September 11, 1842, and ended at Holton, Kan., April 10, 1918, a pilgrimage of seventy-five years, six months and twenty-nine days. She was the daughter of Andrew Jackson and Harriett Amanda Clark and a member of a family of eleven, who grew to manhood and womanhood, nine of whom survive her. Seven of the brothers and sisters were present at the funeral: Mrs. Henrietta Grogan, Limedale, Indiana; Horace Clark of Dodge City, Kan.; Mrs. Harriett Blankley, of Versailles, Missouri, and Mrs. Alice Hixon, Mrs. Estella Talbert, Oscar Clark and Harmon Clark, of Holton, Kan. She spent her girlhood and youth in Putnamville, Indiana, and received her early training in the public schools of that place. Her college days were spent in Bloomington, Indiana. Later she taught school in at Putnamville, Greencastle, Bloomington, Evansville and Wabash, Indiana. In the fall of 1869 she came with her parents and family overland to Kansas and arrived in Jackson county and settled at the old homestead on Banner in November of that year. She resumed her work of teaching and was employed at Eudora, Holton and the home school at Banner … On September 1, 1872, she was married to John Franklin Pomeroy and began as a homemaker in one of the few homes that remain in the family name and care in that community. To this union were born seven children, six of whom survive her: Frank C. Pomeroy, of Holton; Horace G. Pomeroy, of Eureka, Montana; Alice Lyall, of LaJolla, Calif.; Harriett Billard, of El Paso, Texas; Clara B. Dunn and John A. Pomeroy, of Holton. The eldest daughter, Delia, died in childhood. In November, 1893, to give the children better school privileges and still retain them at home, they moved to Holton, and established a home in the south part of the city, leaving the old home in the care of their eldest son, John C. Pomeroy. Here they spent twenty years of useful life, until August 17, 1913, the husband was called to his reward. She leaves five sisters, four brothers, three sons and three daughters and nine grandchildren …. The body was laid to rest by the side of her companion in life in the silent city west of Holton, where so many of the pioneers have taken their final abode.
