Death Roll

C.A.J. Pope

The whole county of Taylor has been called upon to mourn the death of Mr. 
C.A.J. Pope, better known as “Uncle Jack Pope,” which sad event occurred 
peacefully at his home in Butler, surrounded by his family and a few friends at 
3 o’clock a.m., on Saturday last.  He had been in feeble health for several 
months from complicated troubles; his death therefore though sad was no 
surprise to his family and friends.  He realized also that the end of the 
journey of life was near at hand and seemed to be ready and fully prepared for 
the change.  Mr. Pope was in the 59th year of his age, and had been a citizen 
of the county the greater portion of his life.  For 22 years Mr. Pope served as 
Sheriff of the county and by his many acts of kindness made friends with all.  
He leaves a devoted wife, one son, two sisters and many friends and relatives 
to mourn their loss.  His remains were interred in the cemetery in Butler 
Sunday morning with Masonic honors surrounded by a large concourse of sorrowing 
friends and relatives.  Mr. Pope leaves his family in comfortable 
circumstances, besides he was insured for two thousand dollars in the Knights 
of Honor.  Thus ends the life of one of the best and most useful citizens of 
our county.

Reynolds, Ga.
By J.T.A.

Our town and community was very much surprised last Saturday morning at the 
intelligence of the death of Mr. C.A.J. Pope.  There was no man in the county 
better known than he or who had more friends.  For 22 years he held the office 
of sheriff of the county and for a number of years a member of the Methodist 
church and a “Free and Accepted Mason” to whom a brother on misfortune’s square 
or a widow with disheveled hair, or hopeless orphan on charities cold wave 
never applied to in vain.  A neighbor whose accommodations were boundless.  But 
he is gone.  May the Grand Master of men and Masons comfort the bereaved family.
