Born in St-Georges d'Aubert Gallion (now Saint-Georges), Beauce, Lower Canada (now Quebec), the son of William Pozer and Ann Milbourne, he was called to the Lower Canada bar in 1860.

In 1863, he ran as a Liberal for the Legislative Assembly of the Province of Canada in the riding of Beauce and was defeated. He was elected in 1867 and re-elected in 1871. He resigned in 1874.

At the same time, he was elected to the House of Commons of Canada for the riding of Beauce in 1867. A Liberal he was re-elected in 1872 and 1874.

He died in office in 1884 and was buried in the Pozer Cemetery in St-Georges-de-Beauce.Garant, André. À L'OMBRE DU CLOCHER, La Fabrique St-Georges-de-Beauce, 1985, {{ISBN|2-9800513-0-6}}
