Sunday morning March 21, 1920 the Death Angel visited the home of Mr. H.

Mrs. White was born in Mississippi, Feb. 22, 1844, where she lived until
womanhood.  She was married Oct. 12, 1869 to Mr. H. F. White.  Mr. and
Mrs. White lived in Mississippi only a few years moving from that place to
Texas making that there (sic) home until the opening of Oklahoma for
settlement.
Grandmother White was converted at the age of sixteen.  When she was
baptized she came from the water singing an old time hymn.  She joined the
Baptist Church and lived a true Christian life until her death.
She was the mother of eight children, five girls and three boys to whom
she gave the best of a mother's love.
Funeral services were held at the Buffalo church and were conducted by
Rev. Nunnery after which interment was made at Buffalo cemetery.  Besides
her husband and children she leaves a host of friends wherever she is
known to mourn her untimely death.
