Potwin Pioneer Is Found Dead in Bed

Mrs. Amelia R. White, aged 83, a resident of the Potwin vicinity for 45 years, 
was found dead in bed at the home of her dauter, Mrs. R. S. Diemart, three 
miles east of Potwin, early yesterday morning. Death was caused by a severe 
stroke of paralysis, which Mrs. White suffered 18 months ago.

Finding the body yesterday morning was a shock to Mr. and Mrs. Diemart, for 
Mrs. White had appeared to be no worse the past few days. She was last seen 
alive about 1 o'clock yesterday morning when a member of the Diemart family was 
in her room.

Funeral services were held at 2:30 o'clock this afternoon at the Methodist 
church, at Potwin. Rev. Mr. Loy, pastor, officiated. Burial was made in the 
Potwin cemetery.

Mrs. White was born at Fulton, Mo., November 10, 1838. She grew to womanhood 
and was married at that place. In 1877, she came to Kansas and located near 
Potwin. Mr. White died in 1885. Mrs. White had made her home with her daughter 
since she became ill.

In addition to Mrs. Diemart, Mrs. White is survived by two sons, John White of 
Arkansas City, and William S. White of Wichita.
