Notes
a. Note:   I come now to Pollard Oliver Head (P.O.) , the youngest, said to have been rather small and a quiet child who meant what he said when he did speak. I am afraid that in his childhood he was overshadowed by his outspoken brothers James Yancy and Robert Lloyd (Bob), but his quiet, pleasant manner and his skill in carving toys made him the favorite of a brood of young nephews. When he first grew up he spent one or two years in Natchitoches Parish with his sister, Nancy Matilda, who was a widow. He also made a visit to the relatives in Alabama.
  Pollard was operating the farm (probably the Hamp Place) with Willis Byrd as either a hired hand or share cropper. Colored help could be hired in the busy season. Seasons were never too busy for fishing. Pollard had bought a violin and had taught himself to play. He was in demand at all the dancing parties. I well remember seeing him pass our house "dressed up" as we expressed it, on horseback and carrying the violin in its case.
  In 1905 Pollard and Ethel Garrett were married. Before the year ended his mother, Mellie Marinda Sessions, now 81, passed away. His father, Robert Auley Head, lived to finish his 88th year.
  Pollard and Ethel lived at the Hamp Place until 1911. Lois and Mabel were born there and, there Lois died at the age of five months. They brought from Ethel's father, J.S. Garrett, the home where the Garretts had lived from 1893 to 1908. There the other children were born. In 1921 when Irvin was a baby they moved to Chatham where the children could attend High School. Their youngest child, James Jackson, was born in 1923. They spent a few years alternating between their farm home and the one in Chatham.
  The four oldest children finished High School. Ethel Garrett's brother and his wife claimed the privilege of seeing Olive through high school and later LSU in Baton Rouge. A school was started in Eros taking the children to High School, so Elise, Rowena, and Irvin could go to High School from home.
  Pollard passed away in 1943. The home was dismantled. It was a home that he and the boys had built with their own hands. The old house had burned.
