Cecil was the son of Arthur Leander Pomeroy and Mary Evelina Kingsbury. Born in Glen Grove, Kansas, he traveled with his family around the country as part of the "Pomeroy Family Musical and Literary Entertainment" act. The children would sing with beautiful harmony while the parents played instruments and traveled from church or tent meeting to another church or tent meeting reaching nearly half the states in the union. After the entertainment, the father (Arthur) would preach a sermon.
Cecil married Olive Mae Mallery, the daughter of Osmer Devilla Mallery and Edna Atwell on Sept 8, 1906.
(Letter to Robert H. Albert of Sun City, Arizona (great grandson of Arthur and Mary (Kingsbury) Pomeroy) from Mrs. Barbara Swenton (daughter of Evelyn Pomeroy, the only daughter of Cecil and Olive (Mallery) Pomeroy), February 3, 1998)
"Cecil came east from Michigan around 1905. He got a job as a farm hand on the Mallery (Osmar and Edna) farm in Windsor, New York. Here he met their daughter Olive. Eventually, they married and had three children, all born on a farm near Windsor that was rented by Cecil.
When my mother Evelyn, was 4, Percy 2, and Glen an infant, Cecil left, never to be heard from again. There was apparently great mystery surrounding his disappearance. My grandmother soon returned, with her family, to the Windsor home of her parents. A short time later, Olive's brother, Forrest Mallery, was widowed with 7 children. Olive went to live with him and help raise his children, leaving her own three to be raised by her mother Edna.
My mother once told me that her brother's middle names were for Cecil's brothers: Percy Bertrand and Glen Aubrey. Over the years my mother and grandmother kept in touch with Mary and Arthur, Burt and his wife, and Cora and Hugo Frie. Not so with Aubrey, however I believe she did meet him once."
Cecil and Olive had three children:
1) Evelina Maye Pomeroy
2) Percy Bertram Pomeroy
3) Glen Aubry Pomeroy
