while the family was stationed at Shaw AFB, South Carolina. Martha
and Tom moved the family to Dayton, Oh, where the twenty plus year Air
Force career came to a close with retirement. Tom died of Leukemia in
December 1991 and Martha quickly returned home to her beloved Tennessee.

in Tennessee allowed Martha to spend time in the mountains she loved, with
friends she grew up with and her family. We did not have time to prepare
ourselves for her loss, but she is at peace, without pain, and reunited
with her many loved ones. She
was preceded in death by her parents, Ida and Alvin Cregger, beloved

C. White, 85, of Kingsport, son of Preston and Maggie White, entered into
his heavenly home Tuesday, February 22, 2011 at Hamlett-Dobson Funeral Home Internet Obituaries Molly White By PHIL C. M. HOUX SNOWFLAKE, Va., Sept. 22 - The body of Miss Molly White, missing from her home near here for eight days, was found Wednesday night entangled in a fence near the top of rugged Clinch Mountain, her black cocker spaniel, Sambo standing guard. A searching party of four discovered the body after a squirrel hunter, Walter Taylor, reported hearing the barking of a dog m the vicinity. Scott County Coroner W. L Griggs Jr. said Miss White had been dead 20 to 24 hours. Starvation and exposure could have caused the death, he stated. The discovery of the body about on and one-half miles from Miss White's home ended a search that had gone on since Tuesday. Sept. 14, for the 76-year-old former schoolteacher. Thousands of neighbors, National Guardsmen, law officers and curious citizens participated in the search. Miss White's dog, Sambo, finally gave the alarm that ended the gigantic probe for the woman who had taught many of the searchers in Scott County schools. Taylor, a farmer who lives near Nickelsville. went straight to the office of Sheriff W. C. Salyer after he heard the dog barking and whining about a quarter of a mile from the top of the mountain at approximately 4:30 p.m. Sgt. Ed Neely, National Guardsman, and two other men, H. P. Lane. Scott County treasurer, and W. O. Gordon, retired farmer, joined Taylor and returned to the mountain. Gordon gave this account of the discovery: "We went through thick brush and undergrowth to the place where Taylor heard the dog and we heard him again. This time, though, Sambo came running up barking and seemed glad to see us. "The dog kept running around as we hunted through the brush that was so thick we had to fight our way through. Then we found Miss White's body, at about 4:30 p.m., her legs caught in the fence that crosses a narrow path through the brush. "There was some blood on her legs, possibly from brush cuts and from the wire fence. She wasn’t in such a position that she couldn’t have freed herself if she had her full strength. "She was lying on her coat which was in good shape as were the rest of her clothes except for her hose, practically torn off. Her shoes were missing." Sgt. Neely said it appeared Sambo had been chewing vines and brush around the body attempting to free his mistress. And Sambo didn’t want to leave the scene, Neely said. "Gordon had to carry the dog a considerable distance and then Sambo was somewhat reluctant in departing the wild country. Miss White lived with her sister, Miss Ella, in their home near here. Miss Etta reported her sister missing from their home eight days ago. Other survivors include another sister, Mrs. Andy Meade, Snowflake; a brother, John White, Richlands, Va.: a niece. Miss Mary Meade. instructor at Virginia Intermont College in Bristol, and a nephew, John Meade, principal of Grundy High School. Funeral services will be at 2 p. m. Friday at the Antioch Church, with the Rev. Walter Gates, pastor, the Rev. French E. Taylor, the Rev. Archie Williford, and the Rev. Kenneth Williams officiating. Burial will be in the Lawson Cemetery, sometimes known as the Meade Cemetery, five miles east of Gate City. Pallbearers will be Rayford Quillen, Pat Williams, Ted Lowe, Will Quillen, Newt Whited, John I. Addington, George Quillen and Henry Mays. Friends and members will serve as honorary pallbearers.
