Durham, Feb. 16—Shock and displeasure because of the marriage of her 75-year-old daughter is given as the immediate cause of death of Mrs. White, 102 years, at her home in McDowell County last week, according to information received by a great-granddaughter of the deceased, Mrs. G.S. Justice of Durham, whose husband is a member of the local police force.
Mrs. Moffit, the daughter, and her mother had been living quietly in the mountain county for a long time, but when the mother was informed of the daughter’s marriage on Tuesday of last week, her displeasure and the shock were too much for her and she died soon after, the meager message to her great granddaughter said.
After the funeral and burial of Mrs. White, the daughter and her husband left on a bridal trip to Arkansas and other states in the west, it was learned. The name of the bridegroom was not learned by the Durham relatives.
