Pleasant, Henry, Iowa Wednesday, Feb 24, 1897 Obituary of Mary White Died at her residence three miles west of this city on the morning of January 28th, Mrs. Mary A. White, aged 83 years, 11 months and 27 days. Mary A Rose was born in Fleming county, Kentucky, February 1st, 1814, moved with her parents to Brown county Illinois in the year 1828, married Nathaniel F. White, Oct. 10th, 1833, moved to Burlington, Iowa in the year 1836, here her husband worked at this trade, that of cabinet making for three years. Burlington at that time was but a small village of log huts having been laide out in the year 1834 by Samuel S White, a cousin to Mrs. White's husband. Moved to Mt. Pleasant in the year 1839. Here her husband worked at his trade for one year, moving on the farm in the spring of 1840 where they remained the rest of their lives. Mrs. White having lived almost 67 years at the same home. They had four children, two sons and two daughters. One daughter died in the year 1858 and one son in the year 1878, leaving one son Edward E., of LaHoyt and one daughter, Mrs. Mark Smith of Glasgow, Jefferson, Iowa. Mrs. White's husband died in the year 1883. Since that time she has made her home with her son and little grand daughter, on the old homestead. Her last illness was caused by her falling down while walking across the room. She having injured herself in such a way that she never again stood on her feet. She suffered a great deal, and the ten weeks that she was afflicted she received the most kind and constant care and attention that her relatives and many kind friends could bestow. Like a peaceful river with green and shaded banks she flowed without a murmur into the waveless sea where life is rest. Deceased was not for many years a member of any church. She believed in a religion not of creeds, but of good deeds and there was no night too dark stormy or cold for her to minister to a sick neighbor or friend when health permitted. With Paine the world was her country, to do good her religion. She believed it to be no crime to think independent of any book or creed; then after she had thought, she believed it to be no crime to express her honest thoughts. She climbed the heights and left all superstition far below. She had no faith in the change of heart that comes to a person impelled by a fear of death, believed that when a person comes to the end of their life, they must go into the other world with the record of their entire life before them. They could not in her opinion, be judged by anything else. Certainly the record of an upright honest life, that has never bowed to bigotry, but has moved clear and free in a channel of its own making, cleft by its onward rush of thought, must weigh against the record of a bad life, that is only supposed to be cleansed for the next by a death-bed repentance. Her conscience did not trouble her. She did not fear death. She died as she had lived. Here was one honest woman going to her death with her mind clear and untroubled. Her belief was to her an earnest faith. Unmoved in her calm belief that she should be fairly judged. She passed away without murmur. The funeral oration was delivered at the Oakland school house by Bennett Walters, of Mt. Pleasant. The remains were interred beside her husband in the Oakland cemetery.
