Death of Col. Andrew J. POLK –
The Columbia Herald says; “The numerous friends of this generous-hearted gentleman will receive with pain and sorrow the announcement of this death, which occurred at Vevay, near Lake Geneva, in Switzerland, on the 1st of March last. Col. POLK was born in Raleigh, North Carolina, on the 10th of August, 1824, and was therefore in his 43rd year. The greater portion of his life, however, was spent in Maury county. Col. POLK‘s health gave way during the way, and about two years ago he sought the mild climate of Switzerland, in the hope of mending his shattered constitution, but alas! as so often happens, the hope was delusive.
