๐Speaking of the METROPOLITAN MILK COMPANY! Please enjoy these treasures we have for our new exhibit at the Museum. We located the ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐ผ๐ป๐ฎ๐น ๐ฏ๐๐๐ถ๐ป๐ฒ๐๐ ๐ฑ๐ถ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ of Edward Payson Pomeroy that he used in the building of his Metropolitan Milk Company, along with some of the receipts of his company.
๐ฅฐWhen Edward Payson Pomeroy came to Galveston as an engineer, he met and married the young Anna Louise Kresta from Austria. Payson soon retired and began the Metropolitan Milk Company.
After the 1900 Hurricane in Galveston, Payson moved his family to Pasadena in 1901. He ran for the Texas House of Representatives and studied law in his spare time. He served on the newly formed school board and when he passed away, he was the first person buried in the newly formed Crown Hill Cemetery on October 23, 1906.
What a great story! Request your tour online at: www.pasadenatx.gov/museum
