The Hoxie Sentinel - Thursday, April 23, 1953
Cora White daughter of Thomas Martin and Mary Elizabeth Jobe was born at Barnard, Mo., Dec. 14, 1871, and passed away April 8, 1953 at the home of her daughter, Nellie Keller. Hoxie,Colo. after an illness extending over several years. She was 81 years, 3 months and 27 days old.Her early childhood was spent in Missouri. After the death of her mother she lived with an aunt until 15 years of age when she came with her father to Morland. Those were pioneer days and she learned the value of friends and neighbors as only experience can teach. She "Mothered" a younger Sister, Mary, until she passed away in 1898.
She was employed in Cloud County where she met and later married Wm. H. White, at Concordia, in 1894. To this union were born five daughters, Minnie, Nellie, Zetia, Essie and Lucille. Mr. and Mrs. White resided in Cloud County near Aurora, until 1902 when they came to Graham Co. settling on a farm in the Bellview neighborhood, where they built a new home, rearing their family and taking their places in the community there. Mrs. White being kind hearted, observant and adept, she grew to be much in demand where illness occurred in the neighborhood and many new babies with their mothers were ministered to by "Aunt Cora," as she was affectionally called.
Mr. and Mrs. White moved from the farm to a home in Morland in 1924. Mr. White passed away in 1935 and Aunt Cora continued in the home mothering grandchildren and neighbors children alike until her health failed to such an extend that she required care by her loved ones. She was hospitalized many times and her endurance, fortitude and patience was amazing to doctors, friends and family.
She and Mr. White united with the Presbyterian church at Aurora in 1898 and continued in that faith through life. She was a member of the Womans Bible Clubs and attended regularly services of the Methodist church at Morland. She loved to work in the Women's Society of Christian Service and was an honorary member of the Matrons Thimble club. Since her health failed and she could not go to church services, she continued to worship by listening to the Prairie Pastor's Services and other Sacred music by radio. Her life has been one of sacrifice, devotion and usefulness. She earned the admiration and respect of all whose privilege it was to know her. Two daughters preceded her in death: Minnie Moore in 1950 and Zetiz Freeman in 1951.
She leaves to mourn her passing her three daughters; Mrs. Nellie Keller, Hoxie; Mrs. Essie Maupin and Mrs. Lucille Boss of Morland; her brother's wife Mrs. Maude Jobe of Greeley, Colo.; nieces, nephews, other relatives and many friends.
We cannot Lord, Thy purpose see, But all, well that's done by Thee. There is a link death cannot sever. Her sweet remembrance lasts forever.
Funeral services were held Sunday, 2:30 p.m., April 12, 1953, at the Methodist church, Morland with Onan Vale of Hoxie and Rev. F. M. Bishop of Morland officiating.
