in Healdsburg, which was soon incorporated as the
Healdsburg College. Desiring to be near this institution,
Mrs. White purchased a home on the outskirts of the town,
and made this her residence for several years. p. 261,
Para. 1, [LS15].
One year after her husband's death, she was at this new
home, and friends remarked about how well she appeared, and
spoke of her active labors. p. 261, Para. 2, [LS15].
August 22 she went to Oakland to welcome from the East
Elder Uriah Smith, Elder and Mrs. Wm. Ings, and Prof. C. C.
Ramsey and family. Three days later, at the home of her
son, W. C. White, she had a severe chill, followed with
fever, and notwithstanding thorough treatments by Mrs. Dr.
C. F. Young, and faithful nursing by Mrs. Ings and Mary
Chinnock, the malarial chills continued till September 10.
Although very weak, she desired to be taken to the St.
Helena Sanitarium, believing that the superior climate of
the mountains would be favorable to her recovery. p. 261,
Para. 3, [LS15].
September 15 the journey was made in a wheel chair, which
was lifted into the baggage car at the station. After a few
days of treatment at the Sanitarium, without any apparent
benefit, she pleaded to be taken to her home in Healdsburg.
A bed was arranged in a spring wagon, and, accompanied by
her son and Mrs. Ings, she accomplished the wearisome
journey of thirty-five miles. p. 261, Para. 4, [LS15].
The annual campmeeting of the California Conference was to
be held at Healdsburg October 6-16. p. 261, Para. 5,
[LS15].
At this meeting important decisions were to be made
regarding the work of the Healdsburg College. Would our
people rally to its support, and make liberal gifts for the
building of the students' home? or would the work of the
school be crippled for lack of proper facilities? p. 262,
Para. 1, [LS15].
Mrs. White greatly desired health and vigor, that she
might attend the meeting and bear her testimony; but the
outlook was discouraging. She had a bad cough, and her left
lung was very sore. She was weak, and without energy or
courage. Nevertheless she said, "Prepare me a place at the
meeting, for I shall attend if possible." She expressed the
