GEORGE BAKER POPE 

  Sunday morning, Aug. 8th, George Baker Pope passed away at the home of his 
daughter, Mrs. J.I. Futrell, near Woodland.  He had been in poor health a 
number of years but when the final summons came he lived only a few hours. 
He was born in Southampton County, Virginia, March 11, 1841.  He was the son 
of Anderson and Nancy Pope*.  When the War Between the States broke out he 
entered the army of the Confederacy, serving in Company G, Third Virginia 
Infantry, Pickett’s Division.

  He married Miss Alberta Ferguson in 1869.  About thirty years ago they 
moved to North Carolina.  He was a farmer until ill health prevented, a life-
long Democrat, a true patriot, a man who had faith and confidence in his 
fellowman.  Although he never connected himself with any church he greatly 
respected and honored a person with pure and undefiled religious principles. 
His Master showed forth His tender mercies for no one could have passed away 
more patiently and peachfully than he.

  Grandfather we miss your footsteps here, but some day in the great beyond 
we hope to meet you.  He leaves a widow and four daughters, Mrs. J.I. Futrell 
and Mrs. L.F. Liverman, Conway, N.C.; Mrs. W.J. Vaughan, Union, N.C., and Mrs. 
R.A. Rogers, Halifax, N.C.
