๐ŸฅฐWhen 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.
