and he was thrown violently to the
pavement. At the time he suffered
for some time. Since then he has
never enjoyed the excellent health
that he had known all his life. His
extraordinary physical strength bore
up we'll, however.
His last illness was of about two
weeks duration.
Jefferson S. Polk was born in Feb
ruary, 1880, near Georgetown, Ky. He
attended the common schools of thai

town college, where he graduated
Deciding to fit himself for the prac
tice of law he entered the law office OF

determined to come west and came te
Des Moines when % years old with nc
capital but a good education, his col
lege diploma, ambition, energy, anc
perseverance. and opened an office or

He became one of the leading law
yers of Iowa, and in 1864 formed 6
partnership with F. NJ. Hubbell. This
firm financed many OF the big enter
prises OF Des Moines and central Iowa
and for twenty-one years was the lead
ing firm OF capitalists in the state
After the dissolution of this firm
Mr.. Polk purchased the street railway
from the Turner interests and begar
developing the system. After perfect
ing this property, he began to wors
out his long cherished ideas Of inter
urban roads and the Inter-Urban Rail
way Company was organized.
In 1867 Mr.. Polk aided F. M. Hub
bell and others in organizing the
Equitable Life Insurance company o.
Iowa, but for many years he had mo-
been identified with it.
