Seattle friends and relatives were shocked today to learn of the early morning death of Mrs. Nellie Bateman Whitson, 74-year-old widow of Federal Judge Edward Whitson who presided over the Eastern District of Washington. He died about twenty-one years ago.
The funeral will be held Thursday at Mrs. Whitson's Tacoma home. She succumbed to a lingering illness.
Mrs. Whitson was a sister of the late John B. Allen, one of the first United States senators from Washington, and of Mr. C. E. Clancy, wife of one of Tacoma's best-known Puget Sound ship captains.
She leaves two daughters, Mrs. Harold Jones, wife of a Navy commander, who returned from the Philippines to be with her mother, and Mrs. Earl Crane of Wenatchee, also at her mother's deathbed. Mrs. Mitchell Gilliam, widow of the late King County jurist, and Miss Lena Clancy, Tacoma librarian, are nieces.
Mrs. Whitson was born in Michigan but spent most of her life in the Northwest, her family being Olympia pioneers. After her husband became a federal judge they lived many years in Yakima and Spokane.
