Pope Barrow, Twenty-Seventh District


Capt. Pope Barrow, of Athens, was born in Oglethorpe
county on the 1st of August, 1839, and is, consequently,
thirty-nine years of age.  He graduated with distinction
at the University of Georgia, and in 1861 went to
Virginia as a Lieutenant in the Troup Artillery from
Athens.  At the expiration of the twelve months, for
which he had enlisted, he was appointed aid-de-camp to
the lamented General Howell Cobb, and served in that
capacity, with the rank of Captain, until just before the
surrender of General Johnston, when he was taken
prisoner.  He was married in 1867 to Miss Sallie Craig, a
grand daughter of Dr. Alonzo Church, late President of
the State University.  Captain Barrow is a son of Colonel
David C. Barrow of Oglethorpe county, and on the maternal
side is a great grandson of the late ex-Governor Wilson
Lumpkin.  Capt. Barrow has never held a civil office, but
has assiduously devoted himself to the law, a profession
in which he has distinguished himself.  He is one of the
foremost members of the bar of his section, and has a
large practice.  He is an eloquent advocate, and his
knowledge of constitutional law will give him a place
among the leaders in the Convention.  Personally, he is
genial, witty, and exceedingly popular.
