POLLOCK - At the residence of her son, T.A. Pollock, in Ohio Township, Gallia County, Ohio, on Saturday Dec. 4, 1875, of paralysis, Mrs. Anna Pollock, widow of Stephen Pollock, deceased in the 82nd year of her life
Mother Pollock was born in Fayette County, PA, Dec. 28, 1793. Was married in her 19th year. In 1817 they moved to Ohio County, VA (now WV), thence to Wheeling. In 1838, they moved from Wheeling to Mercer Bottom, WV. In 1843, they moved to Ohio Township, Gallia County, Ohio and settled on the farm where their son, T.A. Pollock, now resides.
Mother Pollock had been raised in the faith of the Seventh Day Baptists, but in 1860, she and her husband united with the Mt. Zion Baptist Church, during a protracted meeting held in the settlement, by Brethren Caldwell and Langdon. Truly a mother in Israel has passed away. As a companion and mother, she was loved and affectionate; as a neighbor, she was respected by all; as a Christian, exemplary.
On Thursday week before her death, (it being Thanksgiving Day) all her living children were present and took dinner with their mother,seven in number, 2 sons and 5 daughters. May they all meet again on the shores of Immortality, where sickness, sorrow, pain and death are felt and feared no more.
The funeral sermon was preached on Tuesday, 7th. Inst., from John 14th and 3rd, after which, her remains were laid by the side of her husband in the Mt. Zion burying ground, in the presence of a large congregation of relatives and friends.
Friend after friend departs;
Who hath not lost a friend?
There is no union here of hearts,
That finds not here an end.
