Index to Polk County Wills: 1894 - 1970

Transcribed by Marian Bailey Presswood from TSLA microfilm rolls #47 and 953 Polk County Court Clerk's Wills which contains the index and copies of the wills from 1873 to 1970 County Court Clerk will book, Vol. G, March 1943 - July 1970. Some entries are extremely difficult to read and we do apologize for any errors in transcription.
