General Notes: Husband - William Pollock


He was born on the old family homestead in Clarion County, Pennsylvania, where he was reared. He attended school winters, the rest of the year finding ample employment in the work of the home farm. When only a boy he came to visit his sister in Kittanning, where he obtained a position clerking for Brown, Phillips & Co., with whom and Brown, Floyd & Co. he was engaged for a period of five years. Then, in 1858, he became bookkeeper for the State bank known as the Kittanning Bank, of which James E. Brown was president. After filling that position one year he was elected cashier, in 1859, and was connected with the bank as such until it wound up its affairs, in 1867. This was followed by the First National Bank (organized in 1863, but which did no business until 1867), of which James E. Brown became president. Again he continued with the institution until the organization of the Kittanning National Bank, in the year 1881, when James Mosgrove became president and Mr. Pollock cashier, an association he maintained until the charter expired in 1902. That year the National Kittanning Bank was established, Mr. Pollock still acting as cashier.
He was a faithful member and worker for years of the First Presbyterian Church of Kittanning; he gave long service as trustee, holding the office until he resigned it. He was not much associated with public affairs, business occupying practically his undivided attention, but he usually supported the Republican party in politics. Socially he held membership in the Sons of the American Revolution.

He and his wife had three children.
