Mrs. Annie Parsons White Passed
Away at Her Home on Monte Sano (in Georgia) Yesterday-
Remains to be taken to Huntsville for Interment.
Mrs. Annie Parsons White, relict of the late A. J. White and the mother of W.P. and F.A. White of Augusta, A.P. White of Washington state, and Mrs. H.N. Wales and Miss
Elizabeth McClung White also of this city, died at her residence on Troupe St, Monte Sano at 1:40 o'clock yesterday afternoon. She had been in declining health for a long time and while her death was sudden, it was not entirely unexpected. Heart trouble was the immediate cause.
Her remains will be taken for interment to Huntsville, Ala., the home of her early years, and young womanhood and where the bodies of her husband and many other relatives now repose. The funeral party will leave here over the Georgia railroad at 7:45 o'clock this morning.
Besides her children, Mrs. White is survived by a number of grandchildren.
Mrs. White was born in Huntsville, Ala. in 1841 and was the only daughter of James W. and Margaret McClung. She was married to Mr. White 44 years.
Her devotion to the cause of the Confederacy was deep and fervent. During the siege of Decatur, when the Confederate soldiers were suffering with malarial fever and in need of quinine, Mrs. White and another young lady of about her age, traveled by stage coach from Huntsville to Nashville to procure a supply of quinine. The drug was purchased and concealed in their clothing. Hardly had they started on the return trip when the passengers of the coach were arrested by Yankee soldiers. The spirited ladies were dauntless and pretending to be British subjects, defied the officers and were permitted to proceed. When they arrived in Huntsville the enemy was in control of the country and the quinine could not be sent to the Confederate soldiers in the lines at Decatur until a faithful negro servant was found who took the quinine, tied it around his neck swam the river under the very nose of the gun boats of the enemy, slipped through the lines and delivered the needed drug to the suffering soldiers. Mrs. White never waived of doing those things that contributed to the cause she loved or the welfare of the Confederate soldier
After the close of the War, she was teaching music for the benefit of the widows of soldiers and while engaged in this noble work, she met Mr. White. They became engaged and were soon afterward married.
Some time after the death of the husband, Mrs. White moved to Chattanooga, Tn. where she has an extensive family connection and about 15 years ago moved to Augusta, Ga. to make her home.
She was a woman of fine mind, being widely read and possessed of a remarkable memory. During the later years of her life, she has not been active in the affairs around her because of failing health, but previously she was a ready helper in the work of the Episcopal church of which she was a devoted member, and in the other demands upon her.
