Polk, Annabelle Lee (1926-1979)

Description

Portrait taken of Annabel Lee Polk as a young woman.

Annabelle lived in Edinburg and was the daughter of Lester Earl (1899-1994) and Margie Jane (Fadeley) (1904-1990) Polk.

In 1945, she married Walter David Clem (1923-1995), a 22-year old Navy man born in Fort Valley to Tobias Samuel and Maggie Catherine (Walters) Clem.

The marriage did not work out well and by the 1950 census, Annabelle was back at home with her parents and working as a bookkeeper for a fruit & produce company. The couple divorced about a year later. Walter was working as a street car conductor in Washington D.C., while Annabelle was still in Edinburg.

Annabelle remained in Shenandoah County for the rest of her life. She did not have children.

She was working as a mortgage loan clerk at a bank when she died suddenly and unexpectedly of an aneurism. Her mother, Margie Polk, was the informant on the death certificate.
