General Notes: Husband - William T. Pollock

---

He was reared in North Strabane Township, Washington County, Pennsylvania, and received his education in the district schools and at Jefferson College, Canonsburg, where he was a student when the Civil War began. In 1862 he enlisted in Company G, 140th Pennsylvania Regiment, and served until the surrender of Lee at Appomattox, participating in all the important engagements and skirmishes up to that time, including the battles of Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, Bristow Station, Mine Run, the four days' battle in the Wilderness, Tod's Tavern, Poe River, Spottsylvania, Tolopotama, Cold Harbor, the Siege of Petersburg, (including all the engagements in the vicinity of that city) Fort Stedman, Reams Station, Deep Bottom, Five Forks, and Appomattox. He enlisted
as a private and was orderly sergeant at the time of the surrender, and while he had buttons shot off his coat, and his canteen shot, he suffered not even the slightest skin wound, nor was he ever sent to the hospital. He was mustered out of service at Alexandria and paid at Pittsburgh. After the war Mr. Pollock engaged in farming in Washington County on the old farm entered from the government by his great-grandfather, raising a large number of sheep for many years. He then engaged in dairying for about 20 years, and in 1909 moved to Washington, where he erected a fine modern brick residence. There he lived in retirement in the enjoyment of a well earned rest after years of unceasing activity.
