William Marks b 1832 died 1905. There is no death record In the Polk County Courthouse. I’ve been there three times looking for it the clerks deny having his death record. Even Polk County Muesum books have no record even if their death records say they started in1903 for Polk County. The clerks say he died in another county but that appears to be another wild goose chase. He lived in Washington and Yamhill County prior to Polk County. 10/19/2022 jep
