who are buried in Leon County, TX. Her grandfather was Charles Polk(b.1760), a revoluntionary war soldier that is buried in San Augustine county, TX.

In 1878 he entered in partnership with Col. John T. Flint, in which connection he followed his profession to within a few weeks of the time of his death.
A man of great ability as a lawyer, of strict integrity, warm hearted and generous, he won and maintained the respect and esteem among his fellows, and his death has cast a gloom over the community. He leaves to mourn his loss a family consisting of a wife and four sons and one daughter, and the entire city will join their sorrow over the death of a good and pure man.
