JAMES ALBERT POPE

AGED CARRSVILLE MAN IS KILLED BY AUTO

   James Albert Pope, 83, of Carrsville, was killed Tuesday afternoon about 
5:30 when a car driven by Miss Lois G. Culler of Waynesboro, Penn., struck the 
aged man in what was described as an unavoidable accident.  Mr. Pope was 
walking along the highway going towards Carrsville and the automobile was 
traveling towards Suffolk.  A motorist who was driving just behind the other 
vehicle said that the man appeared to fall or stagger into the path of the car 
driven by Miss Culler.  The accident occurred just to the north of the 
Seaboard Railway overpass.

   The man was carried to Franklin in the W.J.M. Holland & Sons ambulance, 
dying en route.  State Patrolman Burgess of Suffolk investigated the accident. 
In Suffolk bond was arranged and it is thought that the case will be dismissed.

   Mr. Pope is survived by a daughter, Mrs. J.A. Wright of Carrsville; two 
granddaughters, Mrs. W.S. Robinson and Miss Eunice Wright both of Carrsville; 
a half-brother, J.L. Vincent of Conway, N.C., and a sister, Mrs. Mollie 
Worrell of Newsoms.

   Services were conducted at the grave in Newsoms Cemetery Thursday afternoon 
at 2 o'clock by the Rev. F.L. Baker of Newsoms Methodist Church and the Rev. 
John P. Batkins of Beaver Dam Baptist Church.
