ESQ. J. M. P'POOL -- Ripe in Years Passes to His Final Reward
Mr. James M. P'Pool, formerly of Bainbridge but more recently of this city, died suddenly last Tuesday, at the home of his son, Mr. J. L. P'Pool, on Jesup avenue. He was in the 85th year of his age and throughout his long and useful life was one of the county's best citizens. Esq. P'Pool, as he was generally called, was for more than twenty years a magistrate in the Bainbridge precinct and was always a man of enterprise and sound judgment, just in his decisions, and courteous in all his dealings.
The Pools descended from a family who spelled the name Pettypool, the first part of the name being subsequently dropped, though the present generation still retains the "P" before Pool in lieu of the Petty.
Esq. P'Pool was born in Halifax county, Va., Oct. 14, 1819. His father, Allen P'Pool was a lieutenant in the war of 1812 and towards the close was made captain. The Squire came from Virginia in 1835 and first located in Trigg county. After one year he came to this county and settled. He became an extensive land owner and farmed on a large scale. He was at one time a tobacco inspector on the Hopkinsville market, and later became a large dealer in tobacco.
Esq. P'Pool was a staunch Democrat and was for many years the local committeeman in his district. He was a Mason and in his lodge filled the position of Worthy Master for more than ten years.
Esq. P'Pool married Miss Nancy G. Wilson and they reared five children, four sons and one daughter, Mrs. Stith. Two of the sons, W. A. and J. L. P'Pool, live in this city.
A few years ago Esq. P'Pool lost his eyesight and the last days of the good old man were spent in blindness. He remembered the voices of most of his friends and seldom failed to recognize them when they spoke to him. He was a devout member of the Baptist church and bore his affliction with christian fortitude. He had been very feeble for some time, but his death came almost without warning.
The body was taken to the country and laid beside his wife, who died a year ago.
