MR. W. T. POPE'S DEATH,   He Was an Aged Citizen of Stewart County, Mr. W. T. 
Pope died at the residence of his son, Mr. J. W. Pope (James Warren Pope), in 
Wynnton, at 8:35 o'clock yesterday morning (Saturday, 27 May 1899) after an 
illness of one week of Bright's Disease. His death was hastened on by a severe 
fall sustained last Friday (26 May 1899). Mr. Pope was a resident of Stewart 
county, but was visiting his children in this city at the time of his death. 
The deceased was 78 years of age and was an old Confederate veteran having 
served in the Thirty-first Georga regiment.
Mr. Pope is survived by a heartbroken wife, seven sons and one daughter, all 
of whom have the sincere sympathy of many friends in the hour of their sad 
affliction. The deceased was a member of the Missionary Baptist Church at 
Pleasant Grove, and was well known through Stewart county, where he resided , 
and the 
news of his death will cast a gloom over the community in which he resided.
 The remains will be taken on the 7 o'clock train this morning to Pleasant 
Grove, where the funeral will take place. The services will be conducted by 
Rev. 
J. B. Hawks.
