A Very Sad Death:  Mrs. O. E. WHITE Passed Away Yesterday Morning


Yesterday morning, at 2 o'clock, Mrs. O. E. WHITE, nee Miss Katie WATKINS, died 
at her home in Beallwood, north of the city, after an illness of three weeks, 
caused by a complication of diseases.  The death was a peculiarly sad one, and 
the many friends of Mrs. WHITE will be grieved and shocked to learn of it.  
About three years ago Mrs. WHITE, then Miss WATKINS, was married to Mr. WHITE, 
who is a well known young farmer, living north of the city.  Mrs. WHITE had not 
been in good health for some time, and about here weeks ago she became very ill 
with typhoid fever.  She gradually became weaker and her end occurred yesterday 
morning at 2 o’clock, as stated above.  Mrs. WHITE as the daughter of Mr. 
Frank WATKINS of Flovilla [Butts County], Ga.  She is a niece of Col. and Mrs. 
A. C. McGEHEE of this city.  She is survived by three brothers, Messrs. Oscar, 
Pearce and Orion WATKINS, and two [sic] sisters, Mrs. A. C. McGEHEE, Jr., and 
Misses Annie and Eva W!
 ATKINS.  She was only 21 years of age and this fact made her sad death all the 
more pathetic.  The deceased was a young woman of sweet disposition, and many 
beautiful and attractive traits of character, and her death will be sincerely 
mourned by all who knew her.  The funeral occurred at 3 o’clock yesterday 
afternoon from Double Churches, north of the city. It was conducted by Dr. B. 
W. BUSSEY, the same minister who, three years ago, officiated at her 
marriage.”
