He was graduated from Wake Forest College, North Carolina in 1869 and Baylor University conferred upon him the degree of Doctor of Divinity.
The Pool family can trace its lineage to the Fourteenth Century, connecting the family with royalty and the Government of the Roman Catholic Church. An ancestor Reginald Pole, was a cardinal in the Catholic Church during the reign of Henry VIII of England, and his mother was a niece of King Edward IV of England and the Duchess of Salisbury. Pole was driven to a hiding place in Whales by Henry VIII. While in Whales he changed his name to Pool.
Rev. Mr. Pool saw the first Fat Stock Show in Fort Worth and in those days he said cowboys would ride into town from the prairies north of the city.
His first pastorate was Rehoboth Church, two miles north of his home. Later he served various charges in Tarrant, Johnson and Ellis Counties.
