Services were held at the Pollock Presbyterian Church Tuesday at 2 p.m. for Scott High, 82, an early resident of this area, who was found dead last Thursday at his home in Glenham. He died Tuesday of a heart attack. Although he lived alone at Glenham, Mr. High spent much of the winter here [Pollock, SD] with his daughter, Mrs. Charles Whalen.
