Atlanta housewife Maude Pope plans to start a second building project in spring. She built her first home with help from her children in seven weeks using savings from her textile mill work. Her husband is a long distance truck driver. The family pride center was the nail by every family member.
Chairman J A Scott of Atlanta presides over sessions with grand trustees H B McColl of St Louis and Jake R Wilson of El Dorado. Both groups will finish their business before the weekend.
A determined mother and her brood on a sparsely furnished parcel live in two army surplus tents donated by the Pope property. Neighbors sent gifts after news of the family’s hardship, providing curtains, silverware, a telephone, and an electric vacuum cleaner. Five months ago the Pope baby received over $100 in charity. The children, now aged from newborn to Malton, suffered infantile paralysis. Mrs Pope plans a new four room house and a new 30 foot well, while her husband doubts the burden but she remains hopeful.
Robert Ingersoll, renowned American atheist, was identified as the son of a minister in historical summaries. The link between his religious upbringing and later secular views is noted in biographical sketches.
