Mrs. Elizabeth Bomar Pope was born May 24, 1834 in Spartanburg, S.C., and about
two o'clock Monday afternoon, June 24, 1912, at Akridge, Ga., her spirit left
its tenement of clay and returned to God who gave it. The body was laid to
rest beside that of her son, the late B. H. Pope, who preceded her to the
better world by seven months and twenty days.
The funeral services were conducted by the Rev. Martin Taylor and were attended
by an immense concourse of friends.
On the 5th of September, 1855, she was married to Hon. J. A. Pope, of Walker
County, Ga., with whom she lived happily for nearly fifty seven years. God
blessed them with five children -- boys, but only one, Mr. Pope, is left to
mourn her loss.
God in His wisdom, saw fit "to recall the boon his love had given" and to the
sorrow stricken one -- the aged husband who mourns the loss of his bosom
companion and to the only remaining son we commend our blessed Lord, who alone
can give real sympathy and help. To such he says, "My grace is sufficient for
thee," and again, "what I do thou knowest not but shall know hereafter."
"Not now but in the coming years,
It may be in that better land,
We'll read the meaning of our tears,
And there some times we'll understand.
We'll catch the broken threads again,
And finish what we here began,
Heaven will the mysteries explain,
And then, oh, then, we'll understand,"
"Then trust in God thru all the days,
Fear not for He doth hold thy hand,
Tho'dark thy way still sing praise,
Some time, some time, we'll understand."
Mrs. Pope united with the Missionary Baptist church at Pleasant Grove nearly
forty years ago. Her's was a triumphant death of righteousness and although in
her last illness, long and lingering though it was, she bore it with Christian
fortitude at last to fall asleep.
Daughter of Spencer & Mary A. J. Bomar and the wife of J. A. Pope. They were married Sep 5, 1855 in Paulding Co GA. By G.Y. Parker, Ordinary (http://interactive.ancestry.com)
