The legal profession in the State of New Jersey is well represented in Chatham, Morris county, by George Sabin POLLARD, for many years a member of the well known firm of Riker & Riker, of Newark, New Jersey. He has been a member of this firm for a quarter of a century and has gained an enviable reputation as a member of the bar.

His father, Charles Beach POLLARD, was born in Parsippany, Morris county New Jersey, and is now (1913) living retired. He was the assistant superintendent and for a period of twenty five years chief accountant for the Murphy Varnish Company. He married Sophia SABIN, who was a native of Great Barrington, Massachusetts.

George Sabin POLLARD was born in Newark, New Jersey October 29, 1857. The Chestnut Street Public School of Newark furnished his elementary education, and he was graduated from the high school of the same city in 1874. Immediately after graduation he entered the law offices of Titsworth, Francis and Marsh, November 1, 1875 and pursued his legal studies with ardor. Admitted to the bar as an attorney in November, 1879, he commenced his legal practice in Newark, and March 1, 1889, was admitted to a partnership in the firm of Riker & Riker of Newark, with which he has been identified since that time. He removed his home to Chatham, where he had a beautiful house erected and fitted up with all modern improvements, in 1900. He is connected with numerous organizations of varied character, among them being: The Chatham Fish and Game Protective Association; the old Passaic Boat Club, in whose interests he has been very active; the Essex County Lawyers’ Club; he was one of the originators and a director of the old Fourteenth Ward Building and Loan Association, this being the largest corporation of its kind in the State at the present time; he has been the first and only counsel of this association since its organization in December, 1885; president of the Chatham Building and Loan Association since its organization, and president of the Chatham Park and Land Company.

Mr. POLLARD married, in New York City, January 18, 1893, Alma Dell, daughter of Charles E. (brother of Senator A.F.R. MARTIN, of Essex county), and Mary E. (GORGAS) MARTIN, of Newark, New Jersey, Mr. Charles E. MARTIN was connected with the freight department of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company for many years. Mr. And Mrs. POLLARD have two children.

  • Robert S., a student at the Newark Academy;
  • George F.G., a pupil in the Chatham High School.

During his entire professional career Mr. POLLARD has held a high position among his colleagues. Modest in manner and free from pretension, yet he insists in a most determined way upon obtaining what he considers the rights of any client who has entrusted a case to him.
