her head today and mourns the sad
death of one of her most beautiful
and estimable characters, Mrs. s.
George White. Those were strange
ly harsh and bitter. words that
passed from lip to lip announcing
her death which occurred at about
$3.50 O'Clock Monday morning, Oct.
%, as few in the city knew of her
short illness. She was taken i'll
on Sunday, Oct. Fl, and passed
away the following morning, heart
failure being the immediate cause
Of her death, which came as unex-
pectedly to those who were tender
ly ministering to her as to the
many friends throughout the city.

Eagleville, Mo-. on December g.
1886, and was therefore 80 years,

ents to North DAKOTA where they
settled on farm near Bowbells

made this city her nome where she
has always been actively engaged
in the church and social work OF
the city, being at the time of he1
death Worthy Matron of the Am.
brose Chapter Of the Order of East.
ern Stars, president of the Ladies
Aid of the Presbyterian church, and
president of the church Guild. Mrs

dent Of the NJ. l. s., one of the
women's clubs Of the city.
In the passing Of Mrs. White il
seems as If the shadow of death
could not have fallen on faireI
fields and the sunlight of love and
noble aspirations could not have
been hidden behind a darker cloud
but the sweet memory of her who
has left us will bind the hearts OF
the devoted husband, mother, broth
ers and sister in one bond that
reaches through the lifted mfsts o1
earth's discordant day and reveals
the bright forever of the inflnitude
of Gods eternal plan.
Funeral services were held at the
Presbyterian church Thursday at
ternoon at o'clock and were at
tended by large concourse of sor'
rowing friends, including mum
ber of members of the Crosby Chap
