TEXAS CHRISTIAN ADVOCATE, October 14, 1882, p. 7, c. 4

COLLIER.—Elizabeth H. White was born near Raleigh, N. C., January 23, 
1803; was married to H. D. Collier in 1825; raised twelve children in 
West Tennessee; moved to Texas in 1850; lived a widow twenty-five 
years, and had six sons in the Confederate army. Six of her children 
have passed over the river of death. She leaves six to mourn her
absence. No longer will they hear her Godly counsel, but she has left 
a Christian mother's benediction upon them. Sister C. lived a 
consistent member of the M. E. Church for fifty-six years, and worked 
for the church. All her life was full of energy. She was beloved by 
all who knew her. She died suddenly September 22, 1882, but she was 
ready. The last time I saw her was at church, happy in a Savior's 
love. Canton has lost one of its best members, but heaven is richer. 
May God bless the bereaved connections.
