AUNT CALLINE WHITE BURIED AT  ROUND OAK

      Sunday the 18th, "aunt Ca'line White" was buried.  "Aunt Ca'line" was known to every one in the village of Round Oak, and was 112 years old, the best that she, the older people, and her children could calculate.

      She was a slave girl on the plantation of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Clark White at the "old White place," north of Round Oak before the War Between the States.  Her husband, Tillman White, died several years ago.  She leaves children, Jackson, 83; Mary, 81; Tom, 80; John, 78; Henry, 72; and also seventy grandchildren and great-grandchildren.  Her oldest grandchild is 68.

      The day before her death Aunt Ca'line threaded her needle, without the aid of glasses, and quilted; she also helped whitewash the fireplace.  She always claimed to be part Indian and certainly had many of the characteristics of the Indian, and so do her children.  Henry is known as "Red Man," and although he is 72, is as agile as most men of 58.   Aunt Ca'line was thrifty, and always had a garden, chickens and many quilts pieced up.

      She became rather deaf in the last few years and her grandchildren persuaded her to stay off the highway, but before that she came to town every day and was as chipper as could be, liked by all, white and colored.

      Her version of the War was most interesting, and she was as much a "rebel" as any southerner could ever be.   She always spoke of the "good old days" and says that they were well treated, had everything they needed, and they were all happy, before the Yankees came.

      Truly Aunt Ca'line will be missed and she leaves many friends behind besides a host of relatives. (From the Round Oak, Georgia newspaper, January 1948.)
