DSAIAA IA OAO
A. S. Pollard died at his residence in
this city at half past one O'Clock Thurs
day afternoon, December 18th. Mr. Pol
lard was born at Louisville, Ky; moved
to New Albany, Ind, where he was mar
ried, in 1858. From Indiana he went to
Missouri. He lived there a short time,
and in 1854 came to Kansas and settled
at Council Grove. He was one of the
early pioneers of the Neosho valley
When he arrived at the Grove he found
only one family there At that place he
was in the brick business, and lived there
till 1869. About this time the substan-
tial growth of Emporia began Mr.
Pollard was induced to come here that
year and started brick yard, receiving
the contracts for the brick work upon
the Eskridge, Ruggles, Plumb and
the Emporia savings bank buildings.
Here he has been since the fall OF 1859,
and has carried on the brick business.
In early life Mr.. Pollard was for sew
eral years a mate on a steamboat and
ran on the Mississippi river. He was a
man of very kind and generous dispo-
sition. The boys knew him as "Uncle
Abe" He always had kind word for
all, and was esteemed universally. He
was too generous to make the most sue
cessful business man. He has been sick,
off and on, for two years past. His sick
ness told on him wonderfully. He was
very large man, but through disease
he lost hundred pounds and was then
of ordinary size. His remains were ia
ken to Council Grove Friday night for
burial. He leaves a wife and six chill
dren. He died at the age of fify-fonr
Uncle Abe will be missed and mourned
by all who knew him.
