The Chariton Leader, Chariton, Iowa
Thursday, November 14, 1907

MARY E. BREKENRIDGE was born in Missouri, Oct. 22, 1847, and died at her
home in Chariton Nov. 8, 1907, at the age of 60 years, and 16 days. She was
united 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 was 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.
