The Belding Banner, Thursday, March 14, 1912

The funeral service over the remains of the late Wm. T. Pope who died March 
6th was very largely attended at the home Monday afternoon at 2:00 o’clock, 
Rev. G. W. Maxwell pastor of the M. E. church officiated and spoke very 
appropriate words for the occasion.

Out of respect Factory B was closed for the afternoon and all the employees 
attended in a body and preceded the casket to the cemetery on foot, many 
flowers and floral pieces attested the esteem in which he was held.  His sons 
and two sisters were present.
