Read More	David Porter White, youngest son of Lucian and Charity White was born at Preston, Iowa, March 8, 1881, and died at the home of his brother in Preston, Feb. 7, 1902, aged 20 years, 11 months. With the exception of one year spent in school at Maquoketa, he resided at the place of his birth until March 1, 1901, when he moved to Chicago with his widowed mother, where he secured a lucrative position with the Railway and Steamship Advertising Co. He was a graduate of the Preston High School of the class of '99, and was second of the class to die. His father died in 1887 and a sister in 1892. There remain living to mourn his loss his mother, two sisters and three brothers, Ruth, Stella and Asher of Chicago, and Orrin and Edwin of Preston. The funeral services were held at the M.E. church at 10:30 a.m. Sunday, Feb. 9th, conducted by Rev. R.M. Reeder, who preached from room 828. The church was filled to it's utmost capacity with friends and acquaintances, and a large number followed the remains to their last resting place. The floral designs were especially beautiful and were a fitting tribute of memory to the dead. Although this young man had for some time been regarded as in a critical condition of health, still his death fell as a severe shock upon his relatives and many friends. He had a wide acquaintanceship and was loved and esteemed by all who knew him. By his death Preston has lost one of her brightest and best young men and it is with great reluctance that we give him up. But we trust that it is for the best and that our loss is his gain, for without faith in God as one who notes even the sparrow's fall, we believe that "all things work together for good" and that it is not without beneficent purpose that God has seen fit to cause us to bear this untimely loss of one we loved.
