Description

Black and white photograph of the home of Charles Ames (b. March 31st, 1874) and Arvilla Merritt Pomeroy (b. June 2nd, 1860). The pair married on July 2nd, 1898. Arvilla's first husband was Samuel Pomeroy, who built the house after purchasing the property on which C. Angell had put up just a frame. As of 1905, Arvilla had two living children from her marriage to Samuel, Irving and Sarah (the latter b. May 29th, 1889). According to Rev. Moody, 'Mr. Tinker lived here when the old house burned, and they moved to the Royal Hatch place. Samuel Sampson bought it of Jesse Torry, who had it of Keneln Sampson. The land was part of Hezekiah Weeks' place.' Featured in The South Worthington Parish by Rev. George Reed Moody (1905), page 54, plate II, #6.
