Annie: By any chance did you know HP (Ulyses Harrison) Pollard, my grandfather, who lived in the town of Four Oaks, not far from the school, in one of the houses on a corner? He and his 2nd wife, Mary Lee (West) lived there for many years, until his death. Mary still lived there until a little while back, when she, unfortunately had to be put in a nursing home. The last I had heard, she still owned the house, but that it is now being rented. Diane Keiser Ann Massengill/John Evans wrote: > Please keep me posted on the Barbours.
