Copy on file at Mason County Genealogical Museum, submitted by Lula Reed Boss. "This cemetery is beside the Olivet Methodist Church near the Mason and Lewis County line. This cemetery is divided into two sections and the names here represent the oldest stones, primarily those persons born before the 1890's. There are many stones of a later date for persons by the same name as those listed below. The cemetery is approximately 3 miles northeast of Orangeburg, Mason County." 7 pp. Olivet Methodist Church Cemetery headstone inscription: "W. M. Pollitt, M.D., 1836 - 1899." 2. (Note: see record #502-P) 3. Obituary (Unknown Maysville, Ky. ,newspaper, found in the "Pollitt" family file at the Mason County Genealogical Museum, dated December 25, 1957): "Bernard Barker Pollitt, 81-year-old retired gauger with the U. S. Tax Bureau, died Christmas day at 3:30 a.m. in a Lexington hospital, where he had been a patient for the past 15 months. "Born March 22, 1876, in Lewis county, the deceased was a son of the late Dr. W. M. Pollitt, a Lewis county physician and Ascenath Mullen Pollitt. (Note: see record #699-P) 4. See record #900-P, "Family Notes of Albert Webster Pollitte;" written by AWP prior to his death on November 1, 1953. AWP was a school teacher, public accountant, and insurance agent. It is difficult to determine exactly when or over what period these notes were compiled, but perhaps as early as the early 1930's (see appendix A for additional background). These notes, where verified, have proven extremely accurate. 5. "Dr. W. M. Pollitt, late of Cottageville, has moved to this city and taken up residence in the Sixth Ward, where he will practice his profession. He comes well recommended, both as a citizen and physician."
