Hinds County Gazette
An Unexpected Death.

Mrs. Annie White, widow of the late
Capt. B.S. White, died suddenly at
her home in the place about 7 o’clock.
Wednesday evening, June 21st.
Since the death of her husband, who
was killed at Clinton in October, 1891,
while endeavoring to arrest two escaping
burglars.  Mrs. White has been
rapidly failing in health.  Ten minutes
before the summons came, she was
seated on the front gallery, and, falling
to the floor in a swoon, was tenderly
carried to her room, where she expired,
without returning to consciousness.
When quite young, she married Mr. Sims,
father of W.H. Sims, who fell in one of 
the battles of the war.  About the time 
of the surrender.
She was married to Capt. B. Sterling
White, a member of Cobb’s Scouts, a
Texas company that attained considerable
notoriety in Mississippi during the
last years of the war, on account of its
daring and persistence in attacking the
enemy.
Before affiction came upon her, Mrs.
White was of cherry disposition: but
the weight of sorrow broke the spirit
of her ambition and destroyed the 
happiness that should have been hers.
She leaves five children, one the
fruit of her first marriage, and the
others of the second.
She was buried this morning, many
sorrowing friends following her body
to its last resting place.
1893
