General Notes: Husband - Alexander W. Pollock

---

He grew to manhood on the homestead in Peters township, attending the common schools of the neighborhood. He assisted in farm work until September 12, 1861, when he enlisted in Company A, Eighty-fifth P. V. I. for three years' service. He was in the Peninsular Campaign and served in the engagement at Kingston, North Carolina, December 14, 1862, where he was struck by a bullet in the thigh, which so disabled him that for sixteen weeks he was unable to use crutches, and when at the end of that time he could move around with them, it was ten months before he was well enough to lay them aside. On May 28, 1863, he was honorably discharged and returned home.
In 1866 he and his family moved to the borough of Washington, he having been elected county treasurer, a position he held two years, after which, desiring to improve his education, he attended Washington and Jefferson College two and one-half years. He then spent one year and one-half as cashier in a bank at Washington. Finding his health failing about this time, Mr. Pollock betook himself to the farm in Peters township, where for twelve years he followed agricultural pursuits, including droving, etc. When he went on the farm his weight was 135 pounds, with symptoms of consumption; in 1893 he tipped the scales at 165 pounds, with a grand constitution and many years of life before him. In 1886 he returned to the borough and embarked in the general lumber business, including sash, door and builders' materials, in partnership with David B. Baker. Mr. Pollock was a member of the United Presbyterian Church, and of W. F. Templeton Post, G. A. R., at Washington.
