It looks like your Alonzo Pope (b.abt.1871 in Wayne, Iowa) was living in Howard, Wayne, Iowa in 1885. His mother, America, married a second time to James Calif on 29 Jan 1875 in Des Moines, Polk, Iowa (FHL Film #1014766).
Alonzo is enumerated in the 1880 U.S. Federal Census in Howard, Wayne, Iowa as Alonzo P. Caliph (age: 9).
I was hoping to find more information relevant to who Alonzo's father and grandparents really were, but it is 4:11 am and my eyelids are getting heavy. I'll look some more after I've had a bit of rest.
