“Death of Mrs. E.
White. – The greatest sympathy is felt for Mr. E. White, of Mortimer’s
Farm, Cliffe, in the irreparable loss he has sustained by the death of his
wife, which occurred at their residence on Monday, 11th, at the
comparatively early age of forty-three. The deceased lady suffered a severe
shock by the loss of her second son, Frank, who died from wounds in France in
the latter part of 1916, and her health had gradually given way. Another son
was home on leave at the time of her death. The funeral took place in Cliffe
parish churchyard on Monday afternoon, the remains being followed to the grave
by her husband, sons, and other relatives. The Rev. A. T. Wallis (rector)
impressively conducted the service. The coffin was covered with handsome floral
tributes from the bereaved husband, sons, relatives and friends. The funeral
arrangements were carried out by Messrs. George Gates and Sons, at Frindsbury.”
