He was married August 30lh, 1850 to Miss Margaret Olmstead. She was born in 1828 at Middlcton, New York and lat-or went to Northeast, Pennsylvania, and worked in a paper mill and became an expert in that line of work.

It was thcro she met nnd wns united in marriage to Mr. Pope. Later thoy moved to Wisconsin, then to Webster county, where Mrs. Pope died March 7, 1013, aged 85 years. To this union were born six sons, Chnrlcs, who died in infancy, Arthur, George, Clarence, Jay and Clifford.

Arthui' died at 52 yenrs of age. He was a pioneer merchant and established the Pope hardwire business. He served as county superintendent, also superintendent of public schools and was the fnther of our present City Mayor, Paul C. I'oiy and was a distinguished and influential citizen. Arthur graduated from the State University of, Wisconsin, located at Madison.

Clifford Pope finished a course of study at Lawrence University, at Applcton, Wisconsin, and Clarence a State Normal Course nt Oshkohh, Wisconsin. George anrt Jay wore married in Wisconsin, Arthur in Minnesota, Clifford and Clarence at Uluc Hill. Mr. Alvin Pope was a man of fine scholarship and influence. He taught eleven terms of school, was superintendent of the city schools for four years, once a candidate for the Legislature, eight years a sailor on the Great Lakes and four years a captain of a sailing craft.

He was an experienced farmer and for a while engaged in the manufacture of syrup. He came to Red Cloud in the spring of 1883. Later he bought a farm north west of this city from McQuilkin and licd there for a short time. This farm is now owned by Mr. Fitz.

He then moved to Blue Hill and about nineteen years ago moved to Red Cloud where he remained 'til life's journey was finished. He came from sturdy stock of people all noted for their long life and business activity. He was a believer in a Divine Ruler.Thcrc is a beautiful letter in his own handwriting, written to his wife when she was in Milwaukee taking treatment for impaired health, in which he recognizes prayer as a means of aid in distress. This letter indicates a keen mind nnd a sympathetic heart and will be preserved as a precious heirloom as long as his children live. In the pioneer history of Wisconsin Mr.

Pope received very honorable mention. In his younger days we find evidence of his great activity and in dustry and throughout his life his whole career was marked with almost unlimited generosity. He would divide his means of sustenance with anyone in need. He had a fraternal disposition. His hospitality was unlimited.

He delighted in dividing his home comforts with other families less favorably situated. Ho enjoyed study and gave earnest attention to all questions relating to public good. He lived in the great construction period of American history and wan not slow in contributing his influence to the welfare of the nation as well as 'the community where ho lived. His liljp isnindication othe purity of mind wnich'imluenccd Ids existence He was a clean, conscientious and usc-' ul citizen; Thcworld has been bless-'cd by his long life and manly example. For tho Inst fifteen years he has been gradually failing.

Since last June he has been confined to his bed nnd last Tuesday evening at six o'clock, the same hour his beloved wife, on Murch 7, 1913, departed this life, the shadows of death gathered over his frail and wasted form and the spirit of our aged neighbor, Alvin Pope, returned to God nnd wo trust that tho desire of his heart the desire to be with his loved ones in heaven was granted. Here are wc reminded that one year ago, the -1th day of this month, Winfred Pope, the much admired son of Jay Pope, wns taken to the silent city. His last sister, Mary Ida Pope Parish, died May 4, 1910, at the age of 81 years. She was the thirteenth child nmong a family of two girls and eleven boys. Alvin Pope died full years rich in honqr and the lustre of his name will abide on those who survive him.

An aged brother, Nathaniel Pope, over 90 years of age, in Waupaca, Wisconsin, four sons, George, Jay, Cllfr ford of Red Cloud and Clarcnco of Savunnah, Georgia, twenty-two grand children, great-grand? 'dhlMitrtp1 other relatives'' and many friends -will feel keenly the loss of father and friend. The excellent qunlitics of tho deceased seem to have been preserved in tho children nntl grandchildren. Both success and fame seem to bo the lot of these good people. I am sure that tho sorrows of this day, however, will be greatly lessened by the distinguished son of George Pope, Captain Ralph Pope, who comes at this sad hour to aid In comforting the many hearts touched with grief. While wc look and listen the spirit of the dead whisper back for our consolation theso words: "This body is my house, it is not I.

Herein I sojourned till in the far off sky I leased a fairer dwelling, built to last Till all the carpentry of time is past. When from heaven high I view this lone star What need I care where thc-c poor timbers arc? What if these crumbling walls do go back to dust and loam 7 I now have exchanged them for broader, belter homo. This body is my house, it is not In this fnitli men shall live and men shall die." Funeral services were held Friday afternoon nt 2:30 o'clock, from tlic C. J. Pope residence, in charge of Rev.
