Pleasant Free Press Mount Pleasant, Henry Co, Iowa 21 June 1883 Mr. White was born in Hamilton county, Ohio, April 16th, 1811, moved with his parents to Indiana in 1819 and from thence to Schuyler county, Ill. in 1820, and settled with his parents on the land on which Rushville, the capital of Schuyler county now stands, which his father entered and owned for some years. At the age of eighteen, he learned the trade of cabinet making, which trade he worked at for some years. He moved to Burlington, Iowa in 1836 where he worked at his trade while there. He helped make the furniture for the new State House after the old one had burned,-the capital being at Burlington. As a cabinet maker he was second to none. He removed to Mt. Pleasant in the year 1839. Here he worked at his trade for about one year. He then moved to a farm which he has owned since the year 1840. He married Mary A.Rose, who is a native of Kentucky, on Oct 10, 1833. Had four children, two of whom survive him, Edward E., of Tippecanoe township, and Mrs. Mark Smith, of Jefferson county. He, with his father and brother, traveled over Iowa as early as the year 1835.- He has seen the Chief Blackhawk and family. While traveling throughout Iowa they staked themselves claims on the Des Moines river, in what is now Van Buren county, but thinking that the country would never settle up so far west, he never returned to their claims. Nathaniel was a wise counselor and a friend in time of need. In the year 1851, when the Asiatic cholera raged in Tippecanoe township, he spent his time each day and night caring for the sick and burying the dead. By his gentlemanly bearing, his uniform kindness and noble generosity, he created many warm friends. In all the elations of a husband, father, neighbor,citizen and friend, he discharged his duties with uprightness and fidelity. Over his family he watched with all the tenderness and solicitude of a kind father. He was a lover of education, and greatly enjoyed the presence of children. He will be missed greatly by the children of the school which he visited while his health permitted. His death was caused by Bright's disease. He had been an invalid for nearly five years, gradually growing weaker and weaker. He suffered much bodily pain, but endured it with patience and fortitude. He had premonitions of his death and his firm faith in God caused him to look forward to his dissolution with hope, not with dread. His funeral was attended by a large concourse of friends and neighbors who deeply sympathize with the bereaved family. The loss, his death, has cause that cannot be repaired.
