Allan Morris Pollard, Sr

My dad was the son of Sherman C Pollard, Jr and Mildred Lillian Irish .

He worked at farming and as a logger. I remember the story he told of driving the truck full of logs & losing the brakes coming down a steep hill. Allan and his two brothers, Earl and Fred eventually moved from Vermont to North Andover, Massachusetts in search of a better living.

He was employed at the Osgood Mill, J.P.Stevens Company as a wool sorter in North Andover, Massachusetts until the woolen mills closed and went south for cheaper labor. He then worked at the then Bon Secour Hospital in Methuen, Massachusetts until he retired in 1979.

On the 28th of September 1941 in St. Patrick's Rectory, South Lawrence, Massachusetts he married Dorothea A. LaGrange. He was a member of the Congregational Church in So. Lawrence, MA.

He was fun loving and when we would visit his mother in Vermont he and his siblings would like to play jokes on us. Even though we had a postage stamp size yard he managed to find room to grow tomatoes.

His parents were divorced when he was a teenager and he (nor I) knew any of the Pollard & Conner family that he had in northern Massachusetts as well as in New Hampshire, Connecticutt and Vermont. As I find these relatives it makes me sad that he didn't have the chance to meet them. Dad, I could feel your presence at my first Pollard Family Reunion in Vermont last August - the family circle is complete.

A heartfelt thank you to Brian for sponsoring my dad's memorial page.
