Kathleen Merell White (November 25, 1889 - April 1, 1973) was a minister, author, and senior leader in the Pillar of Fire Church, a Protestant denomination founded in 1901 by Bishop Alma White, Kathleen's mother-in-law. At its peak, the Pillar of Fire had several dozen congregations and operated three radio stations, two colleges, a dozen elementary and secondary schools, and a significant printing operation. The church published at least ten periodicals and nearly 100 different book titles. ==Biography== She was born as Kathleen Merrell Staats on November 25, 1889, to Anna F. and William Staats.〔Kathleen M. Staats in the 1900 US Census〕 Over the course of her career with the Pillar of Fire Church she held numerous titles including Financial Agent, Superintendent of Schools, Vice President, and Assistant Superintendent. She married Bishop Arthur Kent White, the Church's second general superintendent, and together they jointly ran the Pillar of Fire Church from 1946 until her death in 1973. Kathleen White was also the granddaughter of Caroline Van Neste Field Garretson, the widow who donated her farm in Somerset County, New Jersey to Bishop Alma White, the founder of the Pillar of Fire Church. Bishop White gave the farm and ensuing community the name of Zarephath, after the Old Testament's Widow of Zarephath. Zarephath would eventually become the Pillar of Fire Church's communal headquarters. Kathleen and Arthur were married in 1914, six years after Kathleen's grandmother Caroline made the donation of the large farm to Arthur's mother, Bishop White, in 1908. Kathleen died on April 1, 1973, in Zarephath, New Jersey.
