Notes

Son of Sidney and Elizabeth Mildred (Harris), was born in Gore's Landing. From the age of 15, when living in Norval, he carved decoys from old cedar stumps left by the logging company, then turning to balsa wood. When that became scarce, he developed a distict hollow pattern.

He married Clara Louise Bignell, daughter of Edgar William and Rose (Taylor) 15 July 1907 in Cobourg. They had a son William, born a year later in Esquesing Township, where he was employed as a clerk in a paper mill. Retiring to Gore's Landing in the early 70s, he continued carving, and estimated that he carved some 2000 working birds in his lifetime. he passed away at his residence in Gore's Landing several months after Clara.

How to Submit Photos for Raymond Vincent Pomeroy

Until such time as a photo "Drag and Drop" function has been added to Cemsearch, here is the way to prepare your photos for inclusion in our database:

• IMPORTANT: FIRST select the person in Cemsearch for whom you want to add a photo, then re-open this help screen.

• You currently have selected Raymond Vincent Pomeroy. You can submit photos for his plot's monument(s) or personal photos of just him.

• On your computer, locate the file(s) of the photo(s) you want to submit for Raymond Vincent Pomeroy.

• DO NOT make duplicate photos of the same side of a stone for each person shown on it. For example, if husband and wife are both shown on one stone image, DO NOT make two copies of this image; only one is required.

• For MONUMENT Pictures, do the following:
• Copy this code: PLANUNA6; (MUST include the semicolon)
• Rename the monument files you previously located by pasting this code as a prefix to each filename.
• IMPORTANT: The code PLANUNA6; is SPECIFIC to ALL people on this stone or plot.

• For PERSONAL Pictures for JUST this person, do the following:
• Copy this code: PLANUNA6^3; (MUST include the semicolon)
• Rename the personal files you previously located by pasting this code as a prefix to each filename.
• IMPORTANT: The code PLANUNA6^3; is SPECIFIC to Raymond Vincent Pomeroy and your picture(s) prefixed with this code will appear ONLY for him.

• HINT: for convenience, these codes also appear below the Born/Died dates where you can click on them to automatically copy them.

• ATTACH photos (full size; if you can, limit to about 1-2 megabytes in size) with the prefixed filename to an email and send to: helpus@cemsearch.ca.

• If you have further details that you would like included in the "Notes" section, add them to the email as well.
