“A Very Sad Death:
Mrs. O. E. WHITE Passed Away Yesterday
Morning
“Yesterday morning, at 2 o’clock, Mrs. O. E.
WHITE, nee Miss Katie WATKINS, died at her
home in Beallwood, north of the city, after
an illness of three weeks, caused by a
complication of diseases. The death was a
peculiarly sad one, and the many friends of
Mrs. WHITE will be grieved and shocked to
learn of it. About three years ago Mrs.
WHITE, then Miss WATKINS, was married to Mr.
WHITE, who is a well known young farmer,
living north of the city. Mrs. WHITE had not
been in good health for some time, and about
here weeks ago she became very ill with
typhoid fever. She gradually became weaker
and her end occurred yesterday morning at 2
o’clock, as stated above. Mrs. WHITE was the
daughter of Mr. Frank WATKINS of Flovilla
[Butts County], Ga. She is a niece of Col.
and Mrs. A. C. McGEHEE of this city. She is
survived by three brothers, Messrs. Oscar,
Pearce and Orion WATKINS, and two [sic]
sisters, Mrs. A. C. McGEHEE, Jr., and Misses
Annie and Eva WATKINS. She was only 21 years
of age and this fact made her sad death all
the more pathetic. The deceased was a young
woman of sweet disposition, and many
beautiful and attractive traits of
character, and her death will be sincerely
mourned by all who knew her. The funeral
occurred at 3 o’clock yesterday afternoon
from Double Churches, north of the city. It
was conducted by Dr. B. W. BUSSEY, the same
minister who, three years ago, officiated at
her marriage.”
[From the "Columbus, Georgia, Enquirer-Sun"

M. WHITE (15 SEP 1879-06 OCT 1899), wife of
O. E. WHITE, at Double Churches Cemetery in
(now Columbus) Muscogee Co, GA. I came
across this death notice while researching
an unrelated matter. - jml] |
