General Notes: Wife - Jennie Hill Pollock

---

So fond was she of her books and her school, that even in childhood days no greater pun­ishment could be inflicted upon her than to require her to absent herself from school for a day. Her education was limited to common-school instruction until the fall of 1857, when she entered Washington Female Seminary-Mrs. Sarah R. Hanna, principal. At the age of seventeen she received her diploma from this institution with honor, her grade in scholarship entitling her to be the valedictorian of a class numbering twenty-one members. This honor she declined, thus confer­ring it upon another. She united with the Chartiers (Seceder) Church under the pastorate of Rev. J. B. Clark, D. D., when fifteen years of age. At present she is a member of the Greenside Avenue (United Presbyterian) Congregation, Canonsburg, Penn., Rev. D. R. McDonald, pastor. She has filled various public offices, being treasurer of the Ladies' Presbyterial Missionary Society, and sent (in the spring of 1890) by this association as their representative to the Women's General Missionary Convention of the United Presbyterian Church, which met in Washington, Iowa. She has held continuously different offices in the State and county work in the Women's Christian Temper­ance Union, ever since its organization. She is a ready writer, and a few sketches from her pen have found their way into print. Miss Pollock is noted as a most faithful and efficient church worker. When about fifteen years of age she began teach­ing in the Sabbath-school, and since that time has continuously taught. For some years she in­structed two classes each Sabbath: one in the colored school, the other in her own church school; besides being a regular attendant at other divine services, and an untiring worker in mission bands, Young People's Societies, and other departments of church enterprises. She, with her brother, Alexander Clark, spent the winter of 1884-85 trav­eling in the South, visiting New Orleans Exposi­tion, and other points of interest. Her home was always with her parents, nursing and caring for them in their old age until “God took them to Himself.” Later she owned and resided in the home mansion, No. 504 West Pike street, Canonsburg, Penn., originally known as the “Dr. Anderson homestead.” [CBRWC, 610]
