MOSS WHITE Mrs. Allie Moss White, widow of Walter W. White, died at her home in Boykins on Tuesday, June 14, just a few days after reaching the age of 77. She was born to Joseph R. and Sarah Elizabeth Darden Moss in Enfield, N.C., June 4, 1872. Her parents moved to Boykins when she was an infant of four months and she has lived there continuously since, being the oldest lifelong resident of Boykins at the present time. She was married to Walter W. White in 1891, and he preceded her to the grave in 1919. She is survived by a son, Walter Wallace White, Jr., and a daughter, Miss Frances E. White, both of Boykins, several nieces and nephews, and a legion of friends. She was a faithful and consistent member of the Boykins Baptist Church, and was a regular attendant until declining health prevented. She was a charter member of the Ladies Aid Society of the church, for a number of years, teacher of the Baraca Class, and active in the Woman’s Missionary Society. She was also a charter member of the Woman’s Christian Temperance Society of the town. Services were held for her in her home on Thursday afternoon at four o’clock, and interment was in Beechwood Cemetery. The services were conducted by her pastor, Rev. N.B. Habel, assisted by Rev. W.L. Sturtevant of the Boykins Methodist Church, Rev. Frank B. Handley of Crewe, and Rev. J. Felix Arnold of Enfield, N.C., the last two former pastors, and Rev. R.D. Stephenson of Franklin. Special music was rendered by Mrs. H.M. Purviance, who sang “At Eventide,” and Rev. J. Felix Arnold, who sang “Crossing the Bar,” accompanied by Mrs. Earl W. Bryant. A spiritual was rendered by two faithful servants of the family, Dala Austin and Neppie Carr. Active pallbearers were J.S. Drewry, H.M. Drewry, J.D.H. Drewry, J.H. Drewry, S.E. Pope, J.S. Schneider, Jr., her nephews, and Dr. J.M. Bland and Norman S. Beaton. Honorary pallbearers were members of the Baraca class, Ladies’ Bible Class, Faithful Workers class, and friends of the family. The numerous and lovely floral designs attested the love and esteem in which she was held. She lived a successful life by choosing Christianity as the science of such living. She drew a clearly defined system of workable formulas and techniques from the Bible. She believed in these principals and procedures, practiced them persistently, overcame fear, conquered worry, mastered feeling of inadequacy and inferiority, and changed defeat into victory; in short, she lived a well- disciplined, happy and useful life, gently admonishing others to do likewise. Truly and sincerely, Miss Allie, we feel keenly our loss in your passing. The writer will miss you very, very much. A Friend.
