E. I. Pollock
E. I. Pollock, cashier of the Delaware National Bank, was born at Port Clinton, Ohio, in 1860, and came to Delaware in 1887. His education was secured at the points where his father, who was a minister in the Methodist Episcopal Church, happened to be stationed, but it was thorough and practical, and was completed at the Ohio Wesleyan University. Mr. Pollock entered into business as bookkeeper for W. Z. Evans, with whom he remained for over six years. He then came to the Delaware County National Bank as teller and bookkeeper, later becoming assistant cashier, and in 1900 was elected cashier. The Delaware National Bank began its career as a branch of the old State Bank of Ohio, and was established in 1845, being succeeded in 1865 by the Delaware County National Bank, which institution became the Delaware National Bank, January 7, 1905. Its officers are: V. T. Hills, president; L. L. Denison, vice-president, and E. I. Pollock, cashier. It has a capital stuck of $150,000, and is a carefully and profitably managed institution. As cashier Mr. Pollock has made many friends for the bank, his genial manner and accommodating demeanor making him an agreeable person with whom to do business.
In 1884 Mr. Pollock was married to Alice C. Armstrong, of Delaware. He has always taken a good citizen's interest in public affairs and for a number of years has been president of the City Council. He retains his old fraternity membership, in the Beta Theta Pi Society of the Ohio Wesleyan University. He is a member of the St. Paul's Methodist Episcopal Church, which he is serving as a steward.
