DEATH TAKES MOTHER OF MRS. RUTH POLK; FUNERAL IS TODAY
Lake County Bee, March 9, 1945
Upper Lake has lost another of its estemable citizens in the death Saturday, March 3 of Mrs. Jeanette Cleveland. She passed away in Ukiah at the home of W. C. Grant, where she has been in charge of the household since the passing of Mrs. Grant years ago. The two families were very close friends dating back many years.
Mrs. Cleveland had not been in good health for some time but her unexpected and sudden passing came as a great shock to her bereaved family and large circle of friends.
She was first taken ill about nine o'clock, while preparing breakfast and was advised by her physician to return to bed. Always systematic and methodical, she thought to finish her household duties first, and had only been lying down a short period, when death occurred at 11 o'clock. At the first sign of her illness her daughter, Mrs. Roy Polk of Upper Lake, was summoned. She left here immediately but the death angel had preceeded her by a few minutes.
Mrs. Cleveland came of pioneer stock, Thomas and Ellen Dennison Elliott, around whose family much history has been written. The Sr. Elliotts were members of the Bear Flag Party. The courage and fame of these early settlers, including the Elliott and Dewell families, has often been told. Of the large pioneer family of Clevelands, who pioneered in Mendocino county, only two immediate members survivie.
Jeanette Elliott, known affectionally by family and friends as "Nettie", was born near Upper Lake November 17, 1866. She was married to Bona Cleveland in her early youth, the couple making their home on their Clover Valley ranch up until the death of Mr. Cleveland in 1928. One child was born to this union, Ruth Hazel.
Other close relatives surviving this dear departed one, are a granddaughter, Mrs. Elysee Polk Twedt of Salinas, a sister Mrs. Emma Butler of Lakeport, two nieces, Mrs. Margaret Shields of San Francisco; Mrs. Marian Williams and nephew Joe Butler of Lakeport. Mrs. Alice Fritts of Big Valley is an aunt. The late M. B. Elliott was an only brother.
Early in life the deceased affiliated with the Baptist church.
Services were held on Tuesday, March 6 at 10:30 a.m. at Eversole Funeral Home followed by church services and entombment in Upper Lake Tuesday afternoon at 2:30 p.m. It was with profound regret that Mrs. Cleveland's many friends throughout this community learned of her sudden passing and sincerest sympathy is extended the relatives in the loss of their loved one.
