Lake County Bee, October 4, 1923

ROBERT T. POLK SUCCUMBS 
Robert T. Polk, resident of Upper Lake for more than 40 years, died early Monday 
morning in San Francisco at Dante Hospital after a long illness. Members of the 
family brought him to the city for medical treatment one week prior to his 
death. While his illness was known to be serious, the news of his death came as 
a shock to the family members and friends. 
He leaves a widow, Evageline H. Polk and two sons, Roy and Robert Jr., residents 
of Upper Lake. Mr. Polk was born at Westport, Missouri on December 6, 1852. He 
was married at Cherry Valley, Napa county, October 25, 1877, moving to Lake 
county a few years later. He was a member of the Odd Fellows lodge and has many 
friends in the county who will regret very much his passing. The remains have 
been shipped to Lake county and the funeral services will be held this afternoon 
at 2 o�clock at the family home at Upper Lake under the auspices of the Odd 
Fellows. Rev. T. G. Patterson will officiate. Interment will be made at Hartley 
Cemetery.
