| Notes |
- IONE BECOME ILL WHILE LIVING IN GULFPORT, MISSISSIPPI AND DIED OF A TYPE
OF BLOOD POISONING ASSOCIATED WITH AN INFLAMED GULL BLADDER.
THE FOLLOWING WAS TAKEN FROM THE GUIDE ROCK SIGNAL ON THURSDAY JULY 14,
1949.
GLADYS IONE HENRY WAS BORN TO ULRIC AND VERNA HENRY ON JULY 19, 1918, AT
GUIDE ROCK, NE. SHE PASSED AWAY JULY 6, 1949, IN GULFPORT, MISSISSIPPI,
AT THE AGE OF 30 YEAARS, 11 MONTHS AND 14 DAYS. HER ENTIRE LIFE WAS
SPENT IN GUIDE ROCK UNTIL HER MARRIAGE TO CARL WHITE ON FEBRUARY 15, 1938.
SHE WAS A MEMBER OF THE CHURCH OF CHRIST. SHE WORKED HARD EVERY DAY OF
HER LIFE FOR HER LORD AND HIS CHURCH. SHE WAS FAITHFUL UNTIL DEATH.
BECAUSE OF HER LIFE AND THE THINGS SHE DID, EVERYONE SPOKE WELL OF HER
AND KNEW THAT SHE WAS A CHRISTIAN.
JESUS SAID: "LET YOUR LIGHT SO SHINE BEFORE MEN THAT THEY MAY SEE YOUR
GOOD WORKS AND GLORIFY YOUR FATHER IN HEAVEN." THIS WAS TRUE IN IONE'S
LIFE. ALL WHO KNEW HER AND ASSOCIATED WITH HER WERE INFLUENCED BY HER
LIFE.
PRECEDING HER IN DEATH WERE A BABY SON ON JANUARY 20, 1939, AND HER
FATHER, ULRIC HENRY, WHO PASSED AWAY JUST THREE MONTHS AGO.
OF HER IMMEDIATE FAMILY SHE LEAVES TO MOURN HER PASSING HER HUSBAND, CARL
WHITE, TWO DAUGHTERS, KATHLEEN ANNE AND KAREN GLYN, HER MOTHER, MRS.
VERNA HENRY, TWO BROTHERS, GLEN AND NEIL, HER UNCLE, WIN HENRY AND A
GREAT NUMBER OF OTHER RELATIVES AND FRIENDS.
THE FUNERAL SERVICES WERE HELD SUNDAY AFTERNOON AT THE METHODIST CHURCH
IN GUIDE ROCK WITH SERMON BY REV. WARREN HOCKMAN.
THE FOLLOWING TRIBUTE IN MEMORY OF GLADYS IONE WHITE WAS WRITTEN BY
HOWARD E. MCENTEE, MINISTER OF THE GULFPORT, MISSISSIPPI CHURCH OFCHRIST:
"IT IS FREQUENTLY THE MINISTER'S PAINFUL DUTY TO TRY TO FIND FITTING
WORDS AS HE STANDS OVER THE BIER OF ONE WHO, IN LIFE, DID NOT QUITE FIND
TIME FOR GOD, AND TOO OFTEN HE SUCCUMBS TO THE TEMPTATION TO, AS IT WERE,
"PREACH THAT ONE INTO HEAVEN."
"SUCH IS NOT THE CASE WITH GLADYS IONE WHITE. HER LIFE, UP UNTIL THE
UNTIMELY HOUR OF HER DEMISE, WAS ONE OF SIMPLE, YET MAJESTIC ELOQUENCE
PORTRAYING THE LOVE OF GOD, AND THE SPIRIT OF CHRIST. HER UNTIRING
LABORS FOR HER MASTER WERE BUT A PERSONIFICATION OF JESUS' OWN WORDS
ABOUT THAT CITY, SET ON A HILL WHICH COULD NOT BE HID. HER ZEAL, NOT
WITHOUT KNOWLELDGE, MADE HER AN ADEPT SCHOLAR OF GOD'S HOLY WRIT AND
THROUGH HER STUDY AND MEDITATION SHE GREW IN FAITH AND WAS WELL
ACQUAINTED WITH HER LORD WHEN HE CALLED HER."
"WITH WILLING HEART AND HAND SHE CHEERFULLY ACCOMPLISHED ANYTHING
REQUESTED OF HER IN REGARD TO THE GOOD OF THE CAUSE OF CHRIST, FROM
HELPING CLEAN THE HOUSE OF WORSHIP TO VISITING THE SICK OR LENDING A
TENDER HAND TO THE WEAK. EVERYONE LOVED HER FOR HER WORK'S SAKE."
"IONE'S UNTIMELY PASSING IS A SETBACK TO THE GULFPORT CHURCH OF CHRIST,
BUT BECAUSE OF OUR MEMORY OF HER CHARACTER WE ALL ARE STRENGTHENetherlands AND
HER INFLUENCE WILL LIVE ON AND ON TO INSPIRE US TO GREATER WORK."
"THIS FINAL PERSONAL THOUGHT--WHEN IT COMES MY TIME TO HEAR HIS LOVING
CALL I HOPE THAT I MAY BE AS WELL PREPARED TO MEET HIM AS ALL EVIDENCE
INDICATES IONE WAS."
