    Charles Pope. The farming industry, probably the most important in Hamilton
county, is represented by men who have made a close and careful study of their
vocation and whose years of varying experiences have given them a comprehensive
knowledge of conditions and methods. A large percentage of these men have
resided in this community all of their lives, many having been born on the farm
which they now occupy and this fact naturally gives them an advantage over those
who have to learn the conditions surrounding the property which they operate.
Among the enterprising and intelligent agriculturists of Hamilton county, is
Charles Pope, the owner of a well-improved farm in Whitewater township. Mr. Pope
was born in Whitewater township, Hamilton county, November 27, 1875 a son of
Adam and Ella (Edwards) Pope. Adam Pope was a. native of Germany and came to
this country while still a small child, with his parents who located in
Whitewater township. Here he obtained his early education and later when a young
man, engaged in agriculture in which he continued until he retired in 1916. Mr.
Pope is at present living retired in Elizabethtown, Ohio. He is a Democrat in
politics and in religion a member of the St. Bernard's Catholic church at Taylor
Creek. He and Mrs. Pope, whose demise occurred in 1883, were the parents of two
children, as follows: Charles and Joseph, deceased. Charles Pope received his
education in the public schools of Whitewater township, and then engaged in
agriculture with his father on the home farm. He continued here until he reached
the age of twenty-two and then started in for himself, engaging in dairy farming
for four years. In 1910 he took possession of his present fine farm of 160 acres
and is now engaged there in general farming. In politics, Mr. Pope is a stanch
upholder of the Republican party, and has held the office of township trustee
for some time. Fraternally, he is a member of the Modern Woodmen, and the
Knights of Pythias, Cleves lodge, No. 602. On the 13th day of Apri1, 1904, Mr.
Pope was united in marriage with Miss Bessie G. McKinney, a daughter of Mahlon
H. and Bell (Guard) McKinney, of Whitewater township, Hamilton county, Ohio. To
this union have been born two children as follows: Elizabeth Hazel, and Clifford
Charles, both of whom are residing at home. The family are members of the
Methodist church, and take an active interest in its affairs. In concluding, it
may be said that Mr. Pope has always been willing to do his full duty as a
citizen, and he has lived up to the best standards of Americanism and commands
the respect of his neighbors and business associates.
