Owen County (IN) Democrat, February 9, 1899, p. 1.
Margret (consider Margaret a spelling variant) J. White, daughter of Edward
and Moriah Willey, was born in Carrol County, Ohio, November 1, 1841, and
died at her home in Owen County, Ind., January 31, 1899. Came with her
parents to Indiana when three years old. United in marriage with Stephen
White September 17, 1862. To them five children were born; one died in
infancy, four with the bereft husband and father are left to mourn the
departure of a devoted wife, loving mother and a kind neighbor.
But they mourn not as those without hope. She was converted and joined the
Methodist Episcopal Church when quite young and remained an acceptable
member until death. Husband, children and neighbors say she was a good
woman.
Her sickness was long and painful, yet she was patient, saying, "The will of
the Lord be done." Said to loved ones that stood by, "Farewell, meet me
where the tree of life is blooming."
Funeral services were held in Bethel M. E. Church conducted by Rev. John
Spears. The body was laid to rest in the old White Graveyard.
