I'm looking for any info on the Justus Pope family. Justus Pope was married to Elnora Lehr Pope and they had 2 children and possibly a few more. Forest Pope born around 1879 in IA or IL. Ethyel Pope Beckley died Omaha, NE in 1950's buried Forest Lawn Cemetery. Arch Pope may have been another sibling born 1882 in IA, possibly Davenport, IA. Justus Pope was the son of William Johston Pope and Jane Frances Harrington Pope. Justus was born 12 Jan 1856 in MI. Possibly Silver Creek Cass Co, area. William Johnston Pope was a United Brethern minister, not sure if Justus was also. Elnora Pope became a widow 9 Oct 1918, but I don't know were Justus Pope died or where he is buried. Elnora Pope was in the 1920 Denver census living with Dr. Arch Pope. I don't know when she died or where she is buried. Can you tell me if there are any family histories or bios on these families? Can you tell me if there is any way to find out if Justus died in MI? William Johnston Pope died 8 Dec 1890. Can you tell me if he died in IL or MI and if there would be any obits? I know that he is buried in Searle Ridge Cemetery, DePue, Bureau, IL along with several other Pope family members, but I've not been able to locate Elnora there or Justus Pope. Is ther a listing of people buried at Searle Ridge Cemetery anywhere? Looking for info on any Pope, Lehr members. Thank you for your time and efforts. Happy New Year. Sandy Hutchinson

Interesting ... in 1880 there were two Forest Pope's in Iowa, both born in IL. The first one looks like your Justice Pope but he is married to an Allice E (maybe Elnora). Household #1: Justice L. POPE Self M Male W 24 MI Grain Dealer --- MI Allice E. POPE Wife M Female W 22 IL Keeping House PA OH Forest POPE Son S Male W 2 IL PA OH Source Information: Census Place Waukee, Dallas, Iowa Family History Library Film 1254335 NA Film Number T9-0335 Page Number 284A ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- The other was born to an older Thomas Pope. Thomas is of an age to have been Justice's father, or older brother, but the states of birth do not match. Not always fatal, I've had several which varied, but not a good sign ... Even so, they could be cousins ...
