“The courts, in 1891, having decided that Mr. Polk's will, leaving his estate ‘to the worthiest of the name forever,’ was void, as constituting a perpetuity, the tomb, with the remains of President and Mrs. Polk, were removed by the State and reinterred with appropriate public ceremonies on Capitol Hill, Nashville, September 19, 1893, with a view to the division of the land among the heirs.” — The Presidents of the United States, 1789-1914, v. 2, 1914, p. 119
