Obituary o! Alvin Pope
Alvin l'opc wns born in Now York,
May 2UrcI, 1821 and died in Hod Cloud,
December 2nd, 3010, at the age of 05
years, G months and 10 days. 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 be
came 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 mer
chant and established the Pope hard
wire 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 influen
tial citizen. Arthur graduated from
the State University of, Wisconsin,
located at Madison. Clifford Pope fin
ished 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, Ar
thur in Minnesota, Clifford and Clar
ence at Uluc Hill.
Mr. Alvin Pope was a man of fine
scholarship and influence. He taught
eleven terms of school, was superin
tendent of the city schools for four
years, once a candidate for the Legis
lature, eight years a sailor on the
Great Lakes and four years a captain
of a sailing craft. He was an exper
ienced farmer and for a while engag
ed 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 n 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 hand
writing, written to his wife when she
was in Milwaukee taking treatment
for impaired health, in which he re
cognizes 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 heir
loom 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 di
vide his means of sustenance with
anyone in need. He had a fraternal
disposition. His hospitality was un
limited. 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
t to the welfare of the nation as well as
'the community where ho lived. His
,long liljp isnindication othe purity
of mind wnich'imluenccd Ids existence
He was a clean, conscientious and usc
' f ul citizen; Thcworld has been bless
'cd by his long life and manly exam
ple. 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 de
sire to be with his loved ones in
heaven was granted. Here are wc re
minded 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 sis
ter, 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, ov
er 90 years of age, in Waupaca, Wis
consin, four sons, George, Jay, Cllfr
ford of Red Cloud and Clarcnco of
Savunnah, Georgia, twenty-two grand
children, twenty-four"' great-grand?
'dhlMitrtp1 other relatives'' and many
friends -will feel keenly the loss of
n 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 peo
ple. I am sure that tho sorrows of
this day, however, will be greatly les
sened 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 n
broader, belter homo.
This body is my house, it is not I,
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.
J. L. Ucebe.
