Aged Lady is Found Dead

Mrs. Eliza Anna White, age 79, was found dead in bed at the home of son Frank White, in Salt Creek township near the Knight schoolhouse, Wednesday morning.
Mrs White had not been in the best of health but her death was not expected and Coroner Moser was called in to hold an inquest. He decided that the good old lady had died from heart trouble. Mrs. White moved from Brown county to Salt
Creek township about ten years ago. The funeral was held today from the Knight church in Salt Creek.

The Monroe County, Indiana Death Records Index lists Eliza A. White as follows:
Name: White, Eliza A
Age: 79
DOD: December 1, 1915

Burial Place: Knights
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Note: The DOB on Eliza’s tombstone of 1883 is believed to be incorrect based upon Eliza’s two obituaries, the Monroe County Death Index, and the 1869 DOB of her son Robert Franklin White. Both the December 3, 1915 obituary and the Monroe County, Indiana Death Index show Eliza’s age to be 79 which calculates to a DOB of 1836.
