Yesterday’s answer:
C The natives on occasion would camp around his home
seeking consultation with him
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.
