| Notes |
- Through the years, I have heard my father and aunt (Melton's brother and sister) mention their baby brother, Melton, with a great deal of softness. He was remembered as a big, healthy, fat baby prior to his sudden illness. His older brother, Leroy would play his guitar and sing to Melton and his sister, Sallie Mae remembers rocking him.
It was believed Melton died of whooping cough. He was buried by Enoch Undertaker at Pollard Cemetery in Kodak. After his death, his mother, Bertha Pollard, is remembered walking to the cemetery, approx 2-3 miles every day, "rain, snow, sleet or shine."
Melton was named after his Uncle Melton Grey. - dch-c [1]
