Mrs. Emma Sawyer White, who was for a number of years very prominent in Washington society, died rather suddenly Saturday afternoon at the residence of her father, ex-Senator Sawyer, 1701 Connecticut avenue. Mrs. White had been ill but a few days, and her death came as a sad shock to her family. She was the wife of Mr. Howard G. White, a well-known journalist of Syracuse, N.Y. Mrs. White was an accomplished woman and of striking appearance. She was the prime mover in all the social affairs for which her father’s home was so famous. The body has been taken to Wisconsin for interment.
