From an unidentified and undated newspaper clipping (probably a Vanceburg, Ky., paper - the "Herald"):
Writing from the home of her sister, Mrs. James H. Craig, (Dorothy Pollitt) in Tampa Fla. on Feb. 20, 1973, Mrs. Mabel Pollitt Adams, says:Today is the anniversary of the birth of our father Samuel Pollitt, born on a farm near Tollesboro Feb. 20, 1862 - 111 years ago. Naturally our minds have been much taken up with the details of his life in Lewis County and with reminiscences of our beloved mother Ella Clark Pollitt, born in the same year but eight months later on a farm near Clarksburg.
We, their four daughters, have spent the day together at the home of Dorothy Pollitt Craig in Tampa. We were joined by Dorothy's daughter, Mrs. Maurice Burriss Elmore, of Arcadia, Fla. and were in contact with our brother Samuel Pollitt, Jr. of Louisville.
All of us are thankful that there is good report from your valuable co-worker Miss Bernice Willim.
Best wishes to our friends in Vanceburg and Lewis County - and congratulations to Wm. C. Dugan for a remarkable publication.
Mrs. J. B. Lykins (Ollie)Mrs. F. L. Adams (Mabel)Mrs. Jas. H. Craig (Doroothy [sic])Mrs. Leslie T. Miller (Martha)
