I don't think Elizabeth Harper White died in Marion county, but rather in Talledega County. Elizabeth Frances White, her daughter who married Meredith Duke was the only child of Elizabeth Harper and John Martin White Jr that lived in Marion County. She died 28 March 1920 in Bexar, at an amazing 96 years of age. She was my great great grandmother, through her youngest son, John Duke, who survived her by barely 1 day. Meredith Duke, tho living in the Bexar area, purchased 40 acres near Pikeville in 1854, and I spent a lot of time trying to figure out who the Whites were that also purchased land grants in the same area were, but don't believe they were closely related, if at all. Meredith was a land speculator of sorts, made quite a lot of money buying and selling land in GA, and would've continued to do so in AL, but died soon after moving to AL.
