White, Marion Julia (28 April 1890 - 6 October 1956) 
 

After an illness of over a year, death came to Mrs. Herbert White, 66, Saturday, October 6, in St. Joseph’s Hospital, Marshfield. 
 

Marion Julia Albright was born in Spokeville, a few miles southeast of Loyal, April 28, 1890.  She received her education in the rural schools of this vicinity, and was a graduate of the Loyal High School.   She attended college at Stevens Point for a short time.  For two years she taught in rural schools near here. 
 

She was married to Herbert White, in the Loyal Methodist Church, November 6, 1912.  After a few years on a rented farm, they purchased a farm in the Lyons school district, southwest of Loyal, where they lived for 30 years.  They moved into the city in 1948. 
 

Mrs. White was a member of the Loyal Methodist Church, served as president of the W. S. C. S., and taught a class in Sunday school for many years. 
 

She was also a member of Iris Chapter, O. E. S. and Hope Camp, R. N. A., and served both of those organizations as the highest officer, as well as in many of the lesser positions.
