    Rev. Homer W. Tope told us of an address he got from some one on a
railway train,-Laura Tope, Galveston, Texas.  We wrote, but our letter was
returned. That was in April 1896.
    George M. Gault, of Annapolis, O., wrote us some time ago to find out
about a Wm. Tope married to Sarah Everhart; but we have not found any ac
count of such a marriage. If any do, please report.
    The leading characteristics of the Tope race may be mentioned in brief. In occupations the majority have been and are farmers and mechanics. Of the entire connection we know of five who are ministers: John Tope, page 31; 15th line up; Wm. H. Tope, page 29 and 3rd line; Homer W. Tope, page 24, S. T. Allen, page 35 and John P. Stephens, page 42;—but that ought to be enough to keep the others straight! There has not been a lawyer, except Mr. Hole, page 44. A number have taught school in their younger days, and seven that we know of are physicians: H. G. Tope, page 30; U. I. Tope, page 30; John W. Tope and Wm. A.
