Roberts, Radford, Virginia, after an illness of several months. Funeral rites were held Thursday at 2:00 P.M. in the Doe Hill Methodist Church. The Reverend L.O. Rose, pastor of the church, officiated. Burial was in the Doe Hill cemetery. Miss Pope was born in Doe Hill, and was a daughter of the late Leonard Miles and Vista Trumbo Pope. Surviving her are three sisters Mrs. L.H. Shumate, McDowell, Va.; Miss Minnie M. Pope, Doe Hill, Va.; Mrs. H.T. Roberts, Radford, Va.; and one brother L.T. Pope, Staunton,Va. During early childhood Miss Pope identified herself with the spiritual and civic life of her home community and remained loyal to its institutions throughout her life. She served as organist of the Methodist Church for a number of years, taught young people’s classes in the Sunday School, directed the work of the Epworth League, and was active in the women’s organizations of the church as long as she remained in the community. She received her early formal education in the public schools of Doe Hill, taught several years in the local school, and continued her education by attending the State Normal and Industrial School for Women (now Madison College) at Harrisonburg. For a number of years she taught in the Stonewall District schools, including several terms at McDowell. Other teaching assignments during the early years of her career were in Moorefield, W.Va., and Elkton, Va. When women’s services were needed during World War I, Miss Pope took a secretarial course at the West Virginia Business College, Huntington, W.Va., and worked with the Huntington Red Cross for a year and a half. However, soon after the War, she returned to the teaching profession. Her longest service to the public schools of the State was in Radford, Va., from 1923 to 1944. She served as principal of two of the large elementary schools of the City Kuhn Barnett and McHarg. At the same time she maintained her role as class room teacher. Follbwing retirement from the public schools in 1944, she accepted a teaching position in Warrenton Country Day School, Warrenton, Va. I1l health forced her to resign from that position after a few months work. Miss Pope held a B.S. in Education degree from Radford College. She was a member of the National Educational Association, the Virginia Education Association, and the National Social Science Honor Society of Pi Gamma Mu. She served as Regent of the William Campbell Chapter, d! A. R., of Radford. The life of Miss Pope exemplified the true Christian spirit in all relationships with people. As a teach er she was loved by her pupils: as a principal, she was held in high esteem by her co-workers; and as a member of her church and community, she will be remembered as a faithful, loyal, untiring worker.
