Mr. White has been in feeble health for sometime but his final illness was of short duration. Funeral services will be held this afternoon at the Presbyterian Church at six o'clock and the interment will be at Long Cane Cemetery. Mr. White was the son of John White and his wife, Lucy Smith. He was born September 8th, 1893 and was in his 84th year. He was one of a family of six children, L.W. White, Miss Lucy White, Mrs. Nannie Wardlaw, Mr. Charlie White, being known to this generation while his brother, W.H. White was killed in the Army and another brother, Robert, went west and died many years ago. Mr. White was married June 29th, 1875 to Miss Sarah Perrin, the daughter of Col. T.C.
