• Notes

  WHITE - On the 5th of May, 1900 at the residence of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Tobias Shantz, Etta, wife of Ward White, in her 34th year. They had lived at Leamington, Ont., since their marriage in September, 1897, and up to within a short time of her decease when the husband left for Didsbury, Alberta, Canada, to prepare a home for them while the deceased came to spend the summer with her parents and friends before following her husband to the Northwest. Within a week after her arrival a child was born and a few days afterward the young mother suddenly began to sink and soon passed away. Owing to the great distance it was impossible for the husband to attend the funeral of his beloved companion which took place from her father's residence to the Alma St. U. B. church, Berlin, Ont. The remains were laid to rest in Mount Hope cemetery. She leaves her husband, an infant child, parents, brothers and sisters and many warm friends to mourn her early death, yet they mourn not as those who have no hope, for she had made the wise choice years ago and she was prepared when the summons came. God comfort the bereaved hearts in this hour of affliction. HERALD OF TRUTH, Vol. XXXVII, No. 11, June 1, 1900, pages 174, 175
