A PIONEER FALLEN

By S. H. Lane

DIED at Battle Creek, Mich., Jan. 12, 1901, Sister Caroline Priscilla Byington White. Sister White, daughter of Elder John Byington, was born March 25, 1828, at Newberg, Vt. At an early age she moved with her parents to northern New York. She was converted while young, and was connected with the Wesleyan Methodist Church. In 1852 she accepted the truths of the Third Angel’s Message.

She was married to Ambrose White in 1848. To them were born one daughter and four sons. Two sons and a daughter live in Battle Creek. One son, Elder W. B. White, is president of the Montana Conference; and one, C. E. White, lives in West Virginia, being secretary of the tract society of that State. The children, with but one exception, are firm, earnest Seventh-day Adventists, trying to live out the truth and forward the message by precept and example, for the dissemination of the truth of the message. In the early days of the message, she did all in her power to aid the messenger as well as the message. She has resided in or near Battle Creek since 1861.

The old pioneers of the message are falling one by one, and we are thankful that new burden-bearers are being raised up, to carry forward the work of God. Sister White leaves a husband, five children, and a large circle of grandchildren and friends to mourn their loss. The funeral was largely attended. The services were conducted by the writer. S. H.
