Later, he moved to a farm purchased near the present Oakland, Iowa. His first wife died in Virginia, leaving one daughter. Evelyn Louise Berlin, William's granddaughter wrote: “This William Pope family, my mother's folks, were unusually interesting. They were of high religious standards; were witty and humorous (always)---often ridiculous, always precious and loveable and dear. They did treasure the memory of their ancestors and tried to set good examples for their descendants (wasted effort). None of them ever did anything outstanding, yet all of them kept good, close knit homes. They were hard workers, very artistic and clever with hand work, fine carpenters, etc.”"

One granddaughter wrote "My grandmother, Llewellyn Heyer, lived in a larger house with a good-sized yard, on Arbor Vitae Street a larger, more heavily trafficked, east-west street, almost like a highway, except for its relative shortness. Oak Street intersected Arbor Vitae not too far from her property. The back yard of our home faced her back yard. Whatever may have been the precise geographic relationship, the properties touched, so she and I could see each other at times from our respective yards, where we both spent considerable time, she gardening and I playing. She was always warm to me, and occasionally offered me cookies, which of course I accepted. My mother objected to this, and on one occasion made some unkind comment on the unhealthiness of the cookies, but I was (and remain) unconvinced."
