Letter from Eartha M.M. White to the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, January 3, 1929

Letter from Eartha M.M. White to the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, January 3, 1929

In her role as president of the Old Folks' Home, Eartha M.M. White writes a letter to the Metropolitan Insurance Company seeking payment for a decedent's final bills through a claim payoff on a life insurance policy held by a non-family member. 

White founded the Old Folks' Home in the early twentieth century and led the institution for many years. See, for example, this undated postcard on the UNF Digital Commons, which lists White as the institution's president. She continued to serve as president at the time of the writing of this unsigned letter, as demonstrated by another letter dated July 11, 1929, from the vice president of the Florida East Coast Railway, addressed to "Eartha M.M. White, President, Old Folks Home," also on the UNF Digital Commons.
