corporal Jan 26 1865.
At the close of the war he
was discharged honorably, receiving his discharge papers on Aug 20, 1865 after
serving in a most active and strenuous capacity. Mr. Pollard was a devoted
husband, a kind and loving father, and a man who preferred such deeds and
kindness as made for him innumerable friends. He was a man of strong integrity,
fair business dealings and possessed a character outstanding among the rest.

where I located church records that indicate he was there in 1884. I believe
