Notes: From Lou Wehmer:
The West Plains Journal, August 11, 1904, citing progress in Mountain View
states, "Then there is the Pollock place just south of Mountain View, in full view of
the town. This is a fine grain and stock farm, with 15 acres of apples and
peaches."
Pottenger's Place Names, on Mountain View:
"This is a town in Goldsberry Township, on the Current River (railroad line).
Laid out in 1888 by the railroad but the village was named when the
post-office was established December 22, 1879, with John J. Campbell,
postmaster. Frank Pollard gave the right of way and set up a store near the
depot site.
My good friend Gerald Groves in his notes on Mountain View land records
states: "F. M. Pollock's 2nd Addition (to the town of Mountain View) was dated
August 30, 1907. F. M. and Nancy Pollock were listed as proprietors of this
addition, which was in the SW 1/4 of the SE 1/44 of Section 22."
The Daily Gazette (Mountain View), March 1, 1899, stated that Frank
Pollock had just sold his farm adjoining Mountain View for $6,000.
The West Plains Daily Quill, July 2, 1908, discussing growth in Mountain
View stated that in recent months F. M. Pollock had built a two story
residence in town.

Region, pub. Goodspeed Brothers, Publishers, Chicago 1894.
CAPT. FRANCIS MARION POLLOCK. This well-known farmer, stock trader
and mill man, of Mt. View, Missouri, owes his nativity to Limestone County,
Ala., where he first saw the light on the 19th of April, 1840. His parents,
Francis Asbury and Ann (Wilkinson) Pollock, were also born in Limestone
County, Ala., in 1808 and 1810, respectively, were reared and married
there, and about 1834 removed to Cooper County, Missouri, where Mr.
Pollock was soon after elected sheriff, and died while in office in 1839. He
was a very prominent Mason, one of the wealthy farmers of the county, and
became prominently known as a successful horse trader and hotel man. He
was killed by lightning, with six other men, while in his wholesale grocery
store at Boonville, Missouri He was active, industrious and public spirited,
and had his career not been so suddenly closed, he would, without doubt,
have become prominent in political circles, for he was very popular, and fully
merited the esteem in which he was held. I is father, Dr. Robert Pollock, is
supposed to have been an Alabamian by birth, and made a large fortune in
practicing his profession. He spent the last few years of his life in traveling,
and while in Stoddard County, Missouri, prior to the war, was called from
life. He was of Irish birth, and was very prominent in Masonic circles. By his
wife, Elizabeth, he became the father of four sons and three daughters. After
the untimely death of Mr. Pollock, his widow returned to Limestone County,
Ala., and while there, the subject of this sketch was born. A few years later
she removed to Fulton County, Kentucky, and in 1855 returned to Howell
County, where she has ever since made her home, with the exception of
during the war, and is still living at the advanced age of eighty-four years.
She has been married five times, and is now a widow enjoying good health.
Her father, James Wilkinson, died in Limestone County, Ala., when quite
advanced in Years, having been a well-to-do slave owner and planter. He
was married twice, and was a half brother of President Zachary Taylor. The
subject of this sketch is the youngest of four children born to his parents:
James W., who died in .Limestone County, Ala., at the age of seven years;
Mahala Jane, who died in Fulton County, Kentucky, the wife of James
Wilkinson, a cousin; Francis Marion; and George McGowen, who died
October 15, 1861, in the Confederate service. The subject of this sketch was
reared by his mother, and unfortunately received but little schooling in his
youth. He came with her to Howell County, Missouri, in 1855, at which time
this country was very wild, there, then being but one house on the present
site of West Plains. They were compelled to go to Spring River, Arkansas, to
mill, a distance of forty miles, and in all other ways suffered the
inconveniences of pioneer life. On the 24th of June, 1861, he joined
Company B, Second Missouri Infantry of the Confederate Army, and was in
the engagements at Wilson's Creek, Drywood and Lexington, and served six
months as second sergeant. He then resigned, came home and recruited a
company of 140 men, and was made captain of Company B, Second
Missouri Infantry, commanded by James R. Shaler, St. Louis, Missouri,
which he commanded throughout Arkansas, Missouri Louisiana and Indian
Territory, and was a participant in about twenty engagements. He was on
the Price raid, was all through Louisiana, and surrendered at Jacksonport,
Arkansas, June 24, 1865, just four years to the day from the time he
enlisted. He was at one time captured in Izard County, Arkansas, and was in
prison at Little Rock for about six months. After the war he was engaged in
farming and merchandising until 1868, when he returned to Howell County,
and for eight or ten years thereafter was engaged in merchandising at
various places. He has long been one of the most extensive stock dealers in
the county, owns and operates a grist mill at Mt. View, in addition to which
he looks after his fine farm of 400 acres, 300 acres of which are in a fine
state of cultivation. On this place he has about 3,000 bearing apple trees,
besides raising other fruits of all kinds. Capt. Pollock's success is due to his
own earnest and persistent efforts, strict economy and good management,
and he has had the push and perseverance to bring all his enterprises to a
successful termination. He is without doubt one of the most thoroughgoing
business men of the county, and during his long residence here has gained
many friends. In 1870 he was married to Nancy J., daughter of Hezekiah
and Jensey Jackson, who came to this section from Georgia and here died.
Mrs. Pollock was born in Georgia, and died October 28, 1878, a member of
the United Baptist Church and the mother of five children: Georgian, wife of
James A. Gill; James W. (deceased); Francis A. (deceased); Sarah J., wife
of James Smith, and John W. In 1888 Mr. Pollock took for his second wife
Nancy M., daughter of Ralph and Hester Umphrey, natives of Missouri, and
now residents of Howell County. Two children have been born to Mr.
Pollock's second union: Robert Cleveland and Bertic Ann. Although Mr.
Pollock has always been a stanch Democrat in politics he has never sought
office, his private interests completely occupying his time and attention.
