ADALINE MYRTLE HART POPE 

   "God moves in a mysterious way His wonder to perform."

   We are reminded of these words as we think of the sad death of Mrs. 
Adaline Hart Pope July 13, 1921, in the thirty-sixth year of her age.

   Mrs. Pope was the daughter of Mrs. Pauline Hart of Capron and the 
late Q.T. Hart.*  She was a consistent member of Newsoms M.E. Church, 
serving as organist for many years, and the faithful teacher of the 
Ladies Bible Class.  Her relation to Christ was that of faith, devout 
service and sincerity.

   Mrs. Pope was a woman of rare culture, of intellectual attainments, 
of charming personality, one who could grace any occasion, and who 
radiated sunshine by her sunny disposition.  And yet when she lay cold 
in death in the flower bedecked home, and one by one those who had 
known and loved her came in, it was the kindly deeds the patience, 
which never failed, the gospel of cheerfulness which she lived, the 
example which she set of an abiding faith in God, that lingered as a 
gracious, tender memory in the hearts of all.  She was a devoted wife, 
a gentle, loving mother, a kind and generous friend and neighbor.

   She leaves to mourn their loss, her husband, Dr. B.A. Pope; several 
small children; mother, Mrs. Pauline Hart of Capron; a devoted aunt, 
Miss Pattie hart; two sisters, Mrs. Kelly of Capron and Miss Louise 
Hart of Norfolk and one brother, Mr. John Hart of Baltimore.

   The funeral services were held at her late home by two of her former 
pastors, Rev. W.J. Williams of Cradock, and Rev. W.R. Evans of South 
Norfolk and Rev. J.P. Essex of Newsoms Baptist Church.

   The pallbearers were J.T. Story, G.P. Vick, Amos Gillette, J.B. 
Everett, G.T. Cook, Thomas Ivey, H.L. Duke, R.B. Story, R.N. Darden.

   Her body was laid to rest in Newsoms cemetery, there to await the 
resurrection morn.  Beautiful and profuse floral offerings were heaped 
upon the grave by sorrow-stricken friends.

   We miss her - Some of the brightness has gone from our lives, some 
of the joy has flown, but for her passing out of the dear home life to 
the home of the soul, there was the clasp of her savior’s hand, as he 
led her through the shadow, there was the welcoming smile of her 
Heavenly Father’s "well done," which greeted her on the eternal shore.
