Private Lucius L. Pollard, Civil War Veteran, 3rd Vermont Infantry, Co. G and I.
During his life, in addition to the name above, he used the following names: L.L. Pollard, Charles L. Pollard and C. L. Pollard
He originally worked in the woolen mills in Vermont and Massachusetts then later became a farmer back in VT then an Artist/Photographer and he also dabbled in real estate. He liked to move around a lot thus making him an interesting subject to search as I would never know in what location I would find him next.
He was son of Lyman Pollard and Mariette Gleason.
On 07 April 1857, in Lawrence Massachusetts, he married Ellen M. Moore. At that time they were living in Lawrence Massachusetts.
In 1858 they moved to Berlin/Barre area of Vermont & he was listed as a farmer. During this time Lucius and Ellen had two children who did not live very long.
In 1860 - 61 they were living in Lowell, Massachusetts and both were working in the woolen mills.
In 1863 he was living in Waterbury Vermont and was a farmer. He enlisted in the Civil War on 14 July 1863 and served until he was mustered out on 17 June 1865. After the war he returned to Waterbury, Vermont where he had a photography studio on Stow Street and owned several pieces of property in the area including water rights to Thatcher Brook. It is unknown what happened to his wife Ellen.
Sometime after 11 June 1870, Lucius sold his property and moved to Springfield Vermont. In 1873 he was living in Springfield, Vermont, where on 19 March 1873, he married Maud C Harrison.
In 1880 they were living in Haverhill New Hampshire with their 2 children, Sadi F and Ray C Pollard. Lucius was working as a photographer and in 1885 he is listed as a traveling photographer. Their daughter Sadi died of Typhoid on 20 August 1880. No record for his son, Ray, other than the birth has ever been found. During this time frame his wife Maud disappears from the radar screen. Unknown if she died or if they were divorced.
Sometime before 1886 he married, in an unkown location, his 3rd wife, Ida May Hillsmith. In 1886 he immigrated to Canada with Ida. In 1890 they had a son Clyde M who died 29 Sep 1890, at age 7 months, 15 days.
In 1901 they were living in Coaticook, Stanstead, Province of Quebec, Canada. He is now known as Charles L. Pollard & C.L. Pollard and his occupation is that of a photographer. A document in his pension file states he has lived there for 20 yrs. Lucius was a member of the Masons as is noted on his headstone.
In 1912 they were living in Ayer's Cliff, Stanstead, PQ, Canada and his occupation is Artist. His will states that he has no known living children.
His wife Ida, remarried on 29 January 1927 in Brighton, Vermont to Alcander H Crosse. She states on this marriage certificate that her father was W.P. Hillsmith and her mother was Anna Nute all born in Farmington, New Hampshire.
Update: Just when I think I've found all that is out there on this ancestor, I find more information. A newly surfaced Civil War pension card shows that he died in the Montreal Insane Asylum, Quebec, Canada
