Death or Mrs. Sar an =. Polk.

Mrs. Sarah Pamela Polk, widow of
Col. L L Polk, died at her home in
Raleigh, Wednesday. June 10, 1901
She was stricken with paralysis nine
days before, hence her death was not
entirely unexpected.
Mrs. Polk was born in Arson coun-
ty, N. O., Dec. 2, 184O. Her father
was Mr.. Joel P. Gaddy, . prosper.
Gus farmer. At an early age she
graduated from historic old Salem
Female Academy, and in her eigh.
tenth year married Colonel Polk, OF
whose life and work it is unnecessa.
ry to speak to our readers. Mrs. Poll
remained with her husbsu in their
native county until 1877, when he
became Commissioner Of Agriculture
for North Carolina, being the first
man to fill this important position
Since that time she had resided in
r sleigh, except for q few months
when Colonel Polk was publishing

Mrs. Polk was the mother of sever
childen, only two Of whom survive

and Miss Carrie Polk. One of hel
daughters married MIR. D. b. Brow

married Mr.. Jay Harris, Of Cabsrrul
county. now deceased. At 5 O'Clock
last Thursday afternoon her body
was laid to rest beside that of hei
husband. Nine years before
death her he likewise had re
ceived the summons from Him wht
"giveth his beloved Sleep"
| Mrs. Polk was q splendid type o.
the best Southern womanhood-pa
tient, tender, modest, industrious
persevering. "She had known sor
row." Ave children had preceded
her over the river, and her HUSBAND
mad fallen in the hour of his creates
IL q aence, yet she never yielded L
morbid gloominess, but lived faith
