WHITE, LAVINIA
(8 Mar 1923, Elk City News Democrat, Elk City, Beckham Co, OK):
DEATH OF MISS LAVINIA WHITE
The many friends of Miss Lavinia White were grieved Friday when it was
learned that she had died that morning following an illness of only a few
days.  She was taken ill with flu Monday and pneumonia developed
immediately.  She was too frail to stand the ravages of disease and passed
away on Friday, March 2nd.  Miss White had been in poor health for many
years having come to Oklahoma twenty years ago, thinking the change of
climate would prove beneficial, and it did, for her life was prolonged
much longer than she, herself had expected.  She became a member of the M.
E. Church, South, early in life and was a consistent christian until the
end.
A devoted brother and sister, O. L. and Miss Pauline White, with whom she
made her home, another brother, Dr. White of Decatur, Georgia, and a
sister at Columbia, S. C., are left to mourn the loss of a loved one.
Funeral services were held at the home, Rev. DeVore officiating, after
which the remains were laid to rest in Fairlawn cemetery.
The News Democrat joins the host of friends in extending sympathy to the
bereaved family.
