Death of Mrs. White
With the opening of the New Year there passed the great divide one of the kindest cheeriest and most lovable women of the upper Essa section, Mrs. Fred Whit (sic). For the past six months she has suffered patiently from the dread disease cancer. Every thing that care and medical aid could do was done, but it was of no avail in saving the life of one dearly loved by all who knew her. Mrs. White was always noted for her cheery smile, her willingness to help others, and her sympathy in time of trouble. She was an active member of the Baxter Presbyterian church, and also of the Women’s Missionary society.
