Biography
Estelle Bassett Pomeroy, born in 1907, knew the rhythm of small-town life and became a comforting presence for her family through decades of promise and challenge. She was admired for her steady hands during the lean years of the Depression and for the kindness she showed to neighbors who dropped by Saint Peter's Episcopal Church for support.
Even after her passing in 1988, Estelle's gentle laugh and thoughtful letters continue to be remembered as a quiet beacon of hospitality, and the stone marking her resting place at Saint Peter's Episcopal Cemetery still brings back recollections of shared meals and stories.
