On Thursday night, at 11:30 when all nature was wrapted in the folds 
of peaceful slumber, the soul of McHenry Pope winged its everlasting 
flight from earthly cares, and went back to the God who gave it. 
Deceased had been in ill health for some time, and his passing away was 
not wholly unexpected. He was 74 years of age and was one of the oldest 
citizens of Perryville. He had resided on a farm about three miles from 
town on the Lebanon and Perryville turnpike for many years, being of a 
jovial disposition, ever ready to take a joke as well as to give one he 
was naturally well liked. A wife and four children, Miss Maggie Pope, 
Mrs. W. H. Broyles, this city; Mrs. George Dandifer, of Atoka, and Mrs. 
Charlie Vandaripe, of Mitchellsburg, survive. him. After appropriate 
funeral services at the house, conducted by Rev. W. W. Bruce, the remains 
were laid to rest in the Perryville cemetery. The family has the sympathy 
of the entire community in their deep bereavement.
