Departure of MIR. white.

The many friends of Thos. w. White, OF
the Maxwell House, and Francis W. White,
of Memphis, will regret to learn of the
death of their aged mother, Mrs. Ann
White, at the advanced age of 20 years.
She died at Landport, Portsmouth, En-
gland, about the 23d of March last, leaving
a valuable estate to her four sons. Mr..
White, accompanied by his brother, will
leave here in a day or two for Europe. Mr..
T. W. White visited his mother about three
years ago, after an absence of seventeen
years. At the solicitation of his brother
Francis, who had gone home from the
United States two months previous, Mr..
White gave up his situation at the Louis
vile Hotel in 1869, and determined at what
ever cost and risk, to revisit his devoted
mother, to gaze on her for the last tina in
this world. On the 18th of December, 1869,
Mr.. White left his native place for Louis
vile, where his family resided. The sad
parting was amidst shower of tears, yet
be hoped he might be enabled to look upon
her sweet face again. But alas for all hu-
man anticipstionsl her gentle spirit has
sought its home in heaven, while the tomb
of her they mourn will be watered with the
tears of her grief-stricken sons.
