Death of Grandma White
Mrs. Elizabeth Ann White, age 87 years, died at Independence at 9 o'clock Saturday night at the home of her daughter, Mrs. W.W. Campbell, at 300 South Fourth St. She had no special illness but had been in decline for some months. Her last days were painless and peaceful and she passed away with no signs of suffering. The remains were brought to Howard Monday morning for burial by her daughter, Mrs. Campbell, and were laid away in Grace Lawn cemetery, beside her daughter, Mrs. Wesley Best. The burial service of the Christian Scientist church was conducted by Dr. Daniel Myers of Gruthrie, Okla.
Grandma White made her home in Howard for several years with her daughter, Mrs. Wesley Best and after her death with another daughter, Mrs. Campbell, and with the latter removed to Independence seven years ago. She was a woman of the kindest and sweetest character and was beloved by all who knew her.
