"Margaret Ann Mahan was born January 12, 1845, at Mt. Carmell, Illinois. At the age of 17 she accepted Christ as her savior and united with the Methodist Episcopal church. She was united in holy matrimony to Samuel French White at Zanesville, Ohio, on the third day of October, 1863.
To this union was born seven children namely: Annie M. Pugh, of Salem; Alva Ashbury, of Mountain Home, Idaho; Charles W. of Payette, Idaho; William W., of Nyssa, Oregon; Dr. B.H. White, of Salem; George W., of Kennebec, South Dakota, and Minerva W. Working of Mill City, Oregon. All of whom with the husband and father are left to mourn her loss. She departed this life at 11 o'clock p.m., Saturday, October 7, 1916, at her home in Salem at the age of 71 years, 8 months and 25 days.
For the past eight years her home has been here in Salem, Oregon. All those who were acquainted with this good mother will never forget her faithful and untiring devotion to her home and her family. Aside from her faithful attention to her home and flower garden she loved so well she found time to devote to others. Forgetful of her own weakened condition, the evening before death called her she visited a sick neighbor to bestow sympathy and render any assistance possible. Unaware that she was not to awake again here she fell asleep peacefully feeling that all would be well.
All the absent children were present for the funeral. The service was conducted at the Webb & Clough Chapel by Rev. A.N. Avison of the First Methodist Episcopal church. The scripture reading was from John 14-23 to 14-3 and Phil. 1-20, 23. Dr. Avison lifted the grief from the sorrowing hearts of the bereaved by his inspired words on the theme `To Die Is Gain.' Mr. Frank Barton and Miss Barton, his sister, rendered most beautifully the hymns, `Nearer My God to Thee,' and `Beautiful Isle of Somewhere.' The final resting place of the earthly tabernacle of this devoted mother is in the historic Lee Mission Cemetery."
