A TRIBUTE TO MRS. D.D. WHITING, WHO PASSED AWAY FEBRUARY 12,1921

Madill Record 1921

Wife of cashier Whiting Was Ever Ready to Relieve Suffering and 
the Distressed; Often Spoke Words of Encouragement; Her Place 
Hard to Fill.

Mrs. D.D. Whiting, wife of D.D. Whiting, cashier of the Madill 
National Bank, passed from life unto death at her home in Madill, 
February 12, 1921, after an illness of ten days.

She was the daughter of Mattie Carter and Edward Sacra. 

Lillian Dale Sacra, was united in marriage to Dugan Whiting at 
Oakland, March 26, 1906. She leaves her husband and three children: 

Edward Claude, Dugan Dale, and Noweta, and a host of relatives and 
friends to mourn her departure. Her sweet little infant child, 
Lillian Byrd, a breath from heaven having stayed with her awhile 
to brighten her life here, returned home February 26, 1920 to 
welcome her mother there upon her arrival. Mrs. Whiting remarked a 
few hours before her eyes were closed in death. “ Lillian Byrd is 
calling me. I must go to her.”

Her daily life was an exemplification of the teachings of Christ, 
Eveready, ever willing to relieve the suffering or the distressed 
to comfort the sorrowing or the afflicted. No one can fully realize 
how much she is missed, or the good that she has done until now she 
is gone.

Additional Notes: 

Her mother, Mattie Carter (1862-1950) was married in 1878 to Governor 
Benjamin F. Overton, (1836-1884) Governor of the Chickasaw Nation, 
before she was married to Edward Sacra.

She was the daughter of Colbert Carter and Elizabeth Humphrey and 
was 26 years younger than B.F. Overton. They were the parents of 
two daughters, which would be 1/2 sisters of Lillian Dale Sacra.

Clemmie Overton (1882-1962) married Will Shelton and had a daughter 
VanNoy Shelton. Clemmie is buried in the Oakland cemetery.

Frankie Overton was first married to Ludie Johnston, son of Douglas 
Johnston, Governor of the Chickasaws for many years. They had a son 
Ralph Johnston.

Ralph Johnston was a relative and very good friend of our father 
Jack Joseph Reirdon .

D.D. Whiting was a brother to our grandmother Byrd Whiting, who 
was the mother of LoRene Reirdon.
