Yesterday’s answer:
B   Letters that he sent to his mother indicating he would die  
 From the life of Francis Martin Pomeroy:   Bro. Pomeroy was elected one of the directors of the canal, and one of the trustees of the town site of Mesa [Arizona]. He was also made justice of the peace of the community, and because the ‘pacifier’ in the district, not only among the white population but also among the Indians and Spanish people. The Indians called him the ‘Great White Chief,’ and very often their disputes were brought to him for adjudication. It was not an uncommon thing to see several Indian camps around his home, and the Indians in consultation with him. This, no doubt, inspired the authorities to set him apart as an Indian missionary, which they did April 16, 1880. A year later he was set apart as president of the Indian Mission, which position occurred Feb. 29, 1882.
