Emily M.P. White
September 25, 1836 - February 15, 1898

A wide circle of friends will be pained to know that Mrs. George White of Meadow street passed from earth at an early hour this morning.  She had been suffering for some time, but neither she nor her family apprehended a fatal termination.  Since Sunday, however, she grew rapidly worse and was unconscious for many hours before death.  Emily M.P. White was born Sept. 25, 1836 in Ohio.  She graduated after a full course of study at the Western Female Seminary at Oxford, Ohio.  In 1860 she was married to Peter R. Putnam.  Of this union Abbott and Israel were born and both survive her.  Her marriage to George White occurred August 1, 1866.  Two sons, George Jr., and Peter R. White, remain to mourn the departure of their mother.  Her husband, George White, has been well known in this community for many years. The sympathy of all will be extended to him in his great sorrow.  Mrs. White was a woman of marked individuality.  She was a devoted Christian, a member of the Methodist Episcopal church, a teacher in the Sunday school and for many years was a leader of a ladies' class which met at the church every week. She was also a member of the Saturday Bible class, which held its meeting last Saturday at her house.  She was a zealous worker in every department of life and her death will be sadly deplored.  [Buried Forest View Cemetery, Winsted, CT]
