TOPE FAMILY PAGE

Compiler's note:  A deceased daughter of Robert and Mary Kear wrote the names of the person on the back of this photo as Robert Kear, Mary Catherine Tope Kear and Sarah Tope.  However, Eleanor Blake, who is the only surviving grandchild of George D. Tope, William G. Tope, the compiler, and professional photo framer examined the original photo of George D. Tope (see Chapter 6) and all agree with the above identifcation.  Mary Catherine Kear is tentatively identified from other photos and the age of the woman standing is appropriate for Sarah Davis Tope.  However, positive identification is needed.
