At the age of 14 she united with the Methodist church, being ever after an ardent and consistent Christian and church worker, transferring her membership from the church here to Fort Scott upon her removal to that city.
In 1913 she was united in marriage with Fred White, also of this city, and to them, two children were born, Elizabeth Ellen, aged six and the infant who preceded its mother to the other world only a day.
Two years ago Mr. and Mrs. White moved to Fort Scott where they had since made their home and where he is employed with the Goodlander Mills. Her illness was of brief duration, being sick just a week and three days. Besides the sorrowing husband and the little daughter, she leaves also her mother, Mrs. Chas. Sherbocker, also of Fort Scott, two brothers, Ralph B. Barrowman of that city and Will Barrowman of Los Angeles, Calif. The remains were accompanied here by the husband and mother.
The deceased was well known in this city and claimed a wide circle of friends here who esteemed her dearly for her many fine qualities of mind and heart and they were deeply grieved at the early ending of her life.
