[Munn, Cindy Smith.FTW]

See census records on notes of father.

Notes from Deborah Butcher, 5/1999, as follows: "Called Lee by everyone that knew him. Lee & his wife lived in Burtonville, KY. The house in which they lived in is still standing at this time in a field back the hollow in Burtonville. We took a picture of the house. It is a 2 story home. It is vacant & probably unlivable by now, but it was worth the trip to see it & get a picture."

Notes for E
DWARD F. POLLITT:
[Munn, Cindy Smith.FTW]

1870 Lewis co., Ky. census lists him as 7 yrs. old, living with parents in Esculopia [sp?] Precinct. Tollesboro or Vanceburg listed as the post office.
[see notes of father.]

1880 Census finds no Pollitts in Lewis Co?

1908-1909 Portsmouth City Directory lists Edward as Everett F., along with Ella, Effie R.[a shoeworker] & Morse [ a laborer ]. Residing at 46 E. Front St.

1910-1911 Portsmouth City Directory lists Edward[laborer] & Ella as living at 57 E. Front St. Portsmouth. Morse was living with them, occup. shoeworker.

I have a copy of a newspaper article that tells of Edward's suicide in the Scioto Co. jail where he had been arrested on serious moral charges. He apparently tied his belt around his neck, then stepped off of his bed, hanging himself.
I also have his obit. which states that he died suddenly Thursday morning & that he is survived by his wife, Mrs. Ella Pollitt 75, who would have been united in marriage 56 yrs. had her husband lived until Oct. 22, 3 children, Morse of Bonser Run, Effie Pollitt, of Chillicothe St., & Mrs. Nancy Gilbert of Queens, Ky., grdch. Mrs. Edward Frye of Columbus, Mrs. Max Huey, Mrs. Guy Melvin & Miss Louise Pollitt, all of Portsmouth, & Edward Pollitt of Bonser Run & a great granddaughter.

This researcher has a copy of the death cert. on file. It gives wife's name as Rachel. Parents as Thomas & Nancy MEER. [I believe this should be MINEER.] Informant was my gg gf Morse Pollitt who was illiterate, so probably misspelled. The death cert. gives his day of birth as Jan. 7, but no year. It records his age at death as 75 yrs. 8 mo. 29 days which would make his year of birth 1859-1860. This is a little off from the year of 1863, which is on the tombstone & also figured from the early census records.
