She was the mother of eight children, six of which survived to adulthood. Her three sons were in the Civil War and survived. Her sons credited her constant prayers for keeping them alive through the War.
Mary Adeline White was a dynamo of energy. When her children were adults, living in other states, she thought nothing of getting on a train by herself to visit them in Louisiana, Kentucky and Tennessee, which she did frequently. She was a vital active person to the end of her life and was a wonderful positive influence on her children and grandchildren who greatly loved her.
She was ninety-two years old.
She died at the home of her youngest child, Harriet. At the age of ninety-two, in good health, she had been baking bread with her daughter on a hot day. She stepped out on the porch to catch a cool breeze and accidentally scratched her arm on a rusty nail. Ten days later, she died of sepsis.
