ELLEN M. WHITE

   Miss Ellen M. White died at Raiford Hospital Wednesday night after an 
extended illness.  Miss White was in her 73rd year, and was a sister of the 
late Thomas P. White of this community, a native of Perquimans County, N.C., 
the daughter of the late Exum Newby and Mrs. Sarah Parker White of that 
county.  She lived in the Franklin community for some years but had spent the 
greater part of her life in Baltimore and Thurmont, Md.

   An occasional visitor in Franklin with her sister, Miss Mary Isabella 
White, who died about six years ago, she had been spending the past year with 
Mr. and Mrs. Isaac C. White of the community.  She was a lifelong and 
consistent member of the Society of Friends, holding her membership in 
Baltimore.  Another sister of hers, who will be remembered by many Southampton 
people, was Mrs. Martha P. Bristow, wife of the late Richard A. Bristow of 
Corinth, Mrs. Bristow dying about 18 years ago.

   Funeral rites will be conducted this (Friday) afternoon at 4 o’clock from 
the Bethel Friends Meeting House by the Rev. James Rauch Stein, Bethel pastor, 
and burial will be made in the family plot in Poplar Spring Cemetery here. 
Her nephews will serve as pallbearers.
