Death of Mary E. (Breckenridge) White ~ born in Missouri
The Chariton Leader, Chariton, Iowa
Thursday, November 14, 1906
MARY E. BRECKENRIDGE was born in Missouri, Oct. 22, 1847, and died at her
home in Chariton Nov. 8, 1906, at the age of 60 years, and 16 days. She was
united in marriage to PARIS M. WHITE, Jan. 1, 1864. To them were born
fourteen children. Her husband and eleven of these children have preceded
her to the future land. The following three children survive: ELIZA JANE
FOX, of McCook, Neb.; HATTIE B. NICHOLS, of Lancaster, Mo. and CHARLES
WALTER, of Gregory, N. Dakota, and one brother, JOHN BRECKENRIDGE, of Rock
Island, Ill.
MRS. WHITE united with the Christian Church in early life of which she
remained a consistent member until her death. She was a patient mother
having lived to see the majority of her children buried. She was sorrow
stricken in her last years feeling so lonely without those who had preceded
her. Brief and simple services were held over the remains at the home on
Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock, by Rev. J.H. Yaggy of the United Brethren
Church. After the services the remains were taken to the Salem Cemetery for
interment.
