A TRIBUTE TO MRS.JENNIE POPE=Death, it is a harsh word in all seasons, but more especially does it jar upon our minds and wring our hearts, just at this time when nature is bursting into new life and beauty. Evidences of the glad spring time all about us and the throbbing throats of myriads of early songsters peeling forth a joyous chorus in announcement of the happy season, tends to destroy all thought of death, but how sternly the grim reaper bids us halt, and now forcibly are we reminded that "in the midst of life we are in death," by the removal from earthly walks of one of the community's truest and noblest women. Forrest City was never more universally and keenly stricken than upon last Saturday afternoon, Mar.22,1902, when the news of Mrs.Jennie Pope's demise spread over the city like a pall of gloom. Mrs.Jennie Pope was directly descended from one of the proudest and oldest families of the South, and was the daughter of Dr.& Mrs.Charles L.Sullivan, who were among the early pioneer settlers of Eastern Arkansas. She was the last of her generation of a noble race; whose pride in and love for her family were among hr most beautiful characteristics. She was a woman of superior intellect and was identified with Christian people of this city in all their efforts to promote universal charity and brotherly love. For many years, Mrs.Pope was a teacher in the public schools and being an accomplished musician, also took classes for the piano forte. Jennie Sullivan was born in the spring of 1851, at the old Sullivan homestead on the Military road, between Allen's Ferry and Taylors Creek, in St.Francis county, Arkansas, and was married in January of the year 1875, to Mr.Will Pope, of Memphis, Tenn. To this union, two sons were born, viz.John L. and Paul. Mrs.Pope departed this life at 1 o'clock Saturday afternoon, at the age of 50 years and was buried the following day at the Forrest City cemetery. The funeral sermon was delivered by Elder A.N.Couch, of the Baptist church, of which she was a member. Charles R.Izard, who has been in Little Rock, returned Saturday to attend the bedside, of his aunty, Mrs.Jennie Pope, but arrived too late to see her alive. He will remain in town and take over circulation of the Commercial Appeal. We wish him success. A Card of Thanks from sons Paul and John L.Pope thanking friends for their assistance with their mother during her last illness.
