Pope, Amanda E.
Colegrove 1863-1930 Edmeston Obituary
Mrs.
Daniel Pope
The death of Amanda E. Colegrove, wife of Daniel
Pope, occurred at her late home on South street early Tuesday
evening. December 9, 1930, after a long illness. She was the
daughter of Lorenzo P. and Martha Simmons Colegrove and was born
October 27, 1863, on the home farm north of this village. She was
married on August 2, 1882, and with the exception of a few months of
her early married life in Leonardsville, her life was spent in
Edmeston. She was in poor health for many years and was unable to
take an active interest in affairs outside her home, and her time and
strength were devoted to her family, near friends and neighbors.
Surviving are her husband, three daughters, Eva M.
Pope, Mrs. W. C. Freytag of Albany, and Mrs. Ward S. Robinson and
one granddaughter, Martha Jean Freytag, also her stepmother, Mrs.
Ida S. Colegrove and two half brothers, Lynn and Hugh Colegrove.
Funeral services were conducted at the home Friday
afternoon at two o'clock, her pastor, Dr. John F. Weinhauer
officiating. Interment was made in Union cemetery. Many beautiful
floral offerings were a mute testimony of the high esteem in which
she was held and a memorial of her great love for flowers. The
bearers were Chester Pope, Floyd Jackson, Bert Dutton, Harry Deming,
George Payne and Harry Baker.
