Augusta Herald: A telegram announces the death of Dr. Owen Clinton Pope, at
Abilene, Tex. He had been president of the Simmons College at Abilene for the
past three years. Before that time he lived in Augusta in retirement, making his
home with Mr. J. C. Lee in Summerville. Dr. Pope has for many years been one of
the most prominent of Southern Baptists and held a great number of responsible
positions in that denomination, the last of which was the chairmanship of the
Home Mission Board of the Northern Baptists. He was born February 15, 1842, in
Washington county, was educated at Mercer University, then at Penfield, Ga., and
was graduated from its theological department. He has been pastor of Baptist
churches at Louisville, Ga., Morristown and Nashville, Tenn., has been secretary
of Mercer Association and editor of the Texas Baptist Herald and Tennessee
Baptist Reflector. He left Augusta three years ago for Texas to take charge of
the Simmons College. The illness which resulted in his death was of only a
week's duration.
