Pollock, in this city last Thursday evening, April 14, 1927, at about 11 o'clock, of heart and kidney trouble, at the age of 34 years, 9 months and 8 days. He had been in failing health for a year and a half and at times had suffered severely, yet comparatively few people knew of his ailment, as he was so patient and uncomplaining. His final illness was of only a few days' duration, and while everything possible was done for his relief, It was of no avail, and he passed peacefully to rest and to surcease from suffering. Kenneth Clyde Pollock was born on a farm in Portland Township, Plymouth County, Iowa, northeast of Akron, on June 6, 1892, where he grew to young manhood. When he was four years old he suffered an attack of spinal meningitis, and the next fall, after he had attended school for about two months, he was stricken with paralysis and curvature of the spine, which resulted in the loss of the use of his lower limbs and left him a cripple for life. He did not attend school again, but acquired a good, practical education through home study and extensive reading. Neither did his serious crippling render him helpless, for as he grew older and stronger he was able to do many odd jobs about the house and farm, becoming very handy with carpenter tools and being really ingenious in many ways. He learned to play the violin and drums and often played in church and social affairs and with an orchestra. After his parents moved from the farm to Akron, on January 10, 1922, Clyde opened a confectionery store and news stand in the small building west of the post office. His business prospered from the start and soon outgrew those quarters, and "Clyde's Place," as it was called, was moved across the street into the present location three and a half years ago, where a cafe was added, in which he was assisted by his parents. It has been a familiar sight for years to see Clyde propelling himself along the street on his little four wheeled cart, or perchance a boy or grown-up friend would happen along and give him a hand for pulling power. Always of a pleasant and sociable nature despite his physical infirmities, he never failed to have a smile and cheerful word for everyone. He was a great lover of all outdoor sports, of music and clean entertainment of all kinds, deriving therefrom and the companionship of friends a great deal of pleasure in life. He was upright in his dealings, public spirited and progressive in his ideas and loyal in his friendships. His life was useful and well spent and he leaves a host of staunch and admiring friends to sincerely mourn his departure. Besides his parents, who have given him such tender and devoted care through childhood and up to mature manhood, he is survived by two brothers, Arden, of Sioux City, and Rex of this city, and a twin sister, Mrs. L.W. Koch, of this city, besides a number of aunts, uncles, nephews, nieces and cousins. They have the deep sympathy of the community in their bereavement. Funeral services were held in the Akron M.E. Church Sunday at 2:30 p.m. and the seating capacity of the edifice was taxed by those assembled in a last tribute of respect. The pastor, Rev. S.J. Wallace, had charge of the service. The pallbearers were two nephews, Iver and Maynard Pollock, and four cousins, Max and Russell Pollock, Ross Root and Vance Wise. The floral offerings were many and beautiful. Interment was in Riverside cemetery. Relatives attending the funeral from out of town were D.A. Rhea, and uncle of Sioux Falls; Arden Pollock, Mr. and Mrs. Blaine Root, of Sioux City, and Donald Cross of Morningside college, Sioux City.
