Mort Pomeroy

Mort Pomeroy (d 1943) was a native of Rosenfeld, Manitoba, Canada. He was the husband of Mary McGregor Pomeroy and the father of Alec Pomeroy as well as the proprietor of Pomeroy's Diner. He was extremely concerned that his wife's hatred for the United States and especially her various terrorist bombings of US targets would land her in trouble and urged her to cease and desist. She refused, and in 1942 his worst fears were realized when she was executed by US authorities. Later that year, when Manitoba became a hotbed for the Canadian resistance movement, Pomeroy became involved in that movement. When the US Army suppressed resistance activity in Rosenfeld, Pomeroy made his diner a rebel stronghold. He was killed in the destruction of the diner, as were all its defenders except young Alec.
