Mrs. White was a woman of a deeply religious temperament, and her faith and trust were strengthened by her long sickness. For the past four years Mrs. White had been an invalid, and since last June had been confined to her bed, and death came to her as a relief from suffering. Besides her husband, Mrs. White leaves her aged mother, Mrs. Polly Sedgwick, and a brother, Joseph Sedgwick, who lives in St. Louis. One brother, T. N. Sedgwick, of Parsons, died two years ago.
