Http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com: Project: Atwoods, Lambs,Polloks & Zimmermans in Mich; Contacts Nancy Pollok & Donna Morris: Conversation in which Janis Pollok Redding told memories to Nancy A. Pollok on Nov. 21, 2001. "About 1934 when I (Janis Pollok Redding) and parents (Albert and Iva) were already living on Renker Road, Dad was buying an acre from Kinney that had a little shack on it on the East side of the road. They had a falling out about the acre, so Albert moved the house across the street in 1935 to the West side of the road, which had the address 613 Renker Road, Lansing, MI. Kinney had a farm where Edith was living with him. He was miserly and mean. Edith couldn't drink milk because it had to go to the calves. They had a pump organ. Edith wrote Dad (Albert S) and he went out and got her and brought her to our house. She divorced Kinney (Abt. 1935). He was asthmatic and was found dead in the farm house.

RootsWeb's World Connect Project: Atwoods, Lambs, Polloks & Zimmermans in Mich.: Contacts Nancy Pollok and Donna Morris: Edith died in Holt, MI at her home on Bunker Road where daughter Rose Martin and Rose's husband Dick Ribby and family had cared for the blind and bed-ridden Edith 2 or 3 years prior to Edith's slow death from cancer and diabetes. . . . Funeral services at Pettit Funeral Home, Friday, Nov. 11, 1955, 2 pm, Minister Rev. C. A. Noffsinger, Interment Dansville; Bearers Arlo Towns, Theo Towns, John Gephart, Cleo Rodgers, Roscoe Canedy, John Hilliard.
Ownership of farm: As her father-in-law Albert D. urged in the letter of Oct., 1908, Edith and Orla did return from Grand Rapids to the farm on Burkley Road in Wheatfield Twp, probably immediately upon receipt of the letter. Her daughter Viva Marie was 6 and infant son Albert Steven was 3 or 4 weeks old. After the death of Albert D. Pollok a few months later in 1909, the ownership of the family farm and house passed to his widow, Elizabeth. Son Orla B. with new wife Edith worked on the farm. When the steam engine drive belt broke and struck Orla, causing his death, his widow Edith was left with 2 kids, a mother-in-law and lots of debt. She took Albert Steven and Viva Marie to Lansing and ran a boarding house for men.
Conversation in which Janis Pollok Redding told memories to Nancy A. Pollok on Nov. 21, 2001: Edith had always worked. She had the top floor of a building on Washington Avenue (the main street) in Lansing. There were shops underneath. One was an ice cream shop where Dad bought us cones. Edith rented out rooms and did their laundry and cleaning, and of course there were bed bugs. Mother didn't like our going there. Later Edith worked in Arbaugh's department store in the basement grocery department. (Arbaugh's is on the East side of Washington Ave., toward the south end of the business district. Arbaugh's was a thriving store still in the 1950's.
