The Cairo Messenger, Friday, October 15, 1915
Mr. Jeff A. Pope Passes to the Great Beyond

Mr. Jeff A. Pope, one of Grady's oldest citizens, passed away suddenly at his 
home in north Grady on last Saturday about one o'clock.  Mr. Pope had been to 
Ochlocknee during the morning on business.  He was taken sick while out in the 
yard and he called for help to get into his house.  Just after entering his 
room and laying down upon his bed he requested to be raised up and a moment 
after being helped to a sitting position he expired.

Mr. Pope was a member of a distinguished family.  He was born 85 years ago near 
the spot where the noted Kimball house now stands in Atlanta.  It was then 
known as Marthaville.  He had 12 brothers and sisters, of which only one 
survies him, Mr. M. F. Pope, of Vallanow, Ga. being the only brother now 
living.  Mr. Pope moved to Metcalfe fifty-one years ago and has continuously 
lived in this immediate section.  For many years he has lived upon his farm in 
this county.  He leaves only one son, Mr. M. Pope, who lived near his father.  
His wife preceded him to the grave little over three years ago.  Mr. Pope for 
many years has been one of the leading members of Macedonia church.  For years 
he was the clerk of the Tucker Baptist Association.  Many people who knew Mr. 
Pope, familiarly called him "Uncle Jeff."  He was a popular and good citizen 
and will be badly missed in his community and county.
