POLK CEMETERY
Charlotte Holloway
Copied February 15, 2000
This cemetery is located on S. Union Street in Bolivar, TN. It has a chain
link fence around it and very well maintained. It contains some of Hardeman
Counties early citizens. Some of the information that follows a name was
on the tombstone. Some I looked up through different sources at our library.
Some of the graves are vaults. The following plaque is at the entrance.
This land was acquired by James K. Polk Jr. and other descendents on October
23, 1845 for the descendents of Ezekial Polk. Col. Polk the patriarch of
the Polk family in Tennessee, grandfather of President James Knox Polk.
The elder Polk was instrumental in framing the Mecklenburg Declaration of
Independence and served in the Revolutionary War. He lived in Maury County,
Tennessee before settling in Hardeman County, TN.

epitaph when he was 74 years old. It is written on top of his vault.
"Here lies the dust of old E.P.
Once instance of mortality
Pennsylvania born, Carolina bred
In Tennessee died in his bed
His youthful days he spent in pleasure
His latter days in gathering treasure
From superstition lived quite free
And practiced strict morality
To holy cheats was never willing
To give one solitary shilling
He can foresee, and for foreseeing
He equals most men in being
That Church and State will join their power
And misery on this country will shower
And Methodist with their camp bawling
Will be the cause of this down falling
An era not destined to see
It waits for poor posterity
First fruits and tithes are odious things
And so are Bishops, Priests and Kings"
