A GOOD CITIZEN DEAD
Mr. W, H. H. White, of Pine Log,
Passes Away Last Week.
Sunday, August 21, witnessed
the death of one of Pine Log’s most
prominent and useful citizens, Mr.
\V. H. H. White. The interment
took place at Oak Hill cemetery,
Rev- W. L Ray officiating. One
of the largest crowds in the history
of the church was present to honor
the dead.
Mr. White was born in South
Carolina, November 3, 1841. He
came to Georgia when a boy and
settled in Cherokee county. He
had been a resident of Bartow
county for fifteen years.
During the civil war he served
in the confederate-army as a scout.
He had been a member of Mis
sionar> Baptist church for thirty
tv-three years, a deacon twenty-five
years, his membership being in
Oak Hill church at the time of his
death.
Mr. White was public spirited
and enterprising, being liberal in
encouragement and giving his
money to schools and churches,
having donated a short time pre
vious to his death to the building
and equipment of the new Oak
Hill church and the new Pine Log
college. He expressed the wish
during the summer that the Oak
Hill church be painted at once, as
he wanted to help finish it before
be died.
Mr. White bore his long illness
with patience, often saying that he
regretted to leave his family but
was ready to go when God saw fit
to take him away.
Mr. White had been married
forty-five years and was the father
of thirteen children. He is sur
vived by his wife and eight chil
dren —six boys and two girls, as
follows: Messrs. T. N., J. S., H.
H., N, A., J. L- and P. White,
and Mrs. J. M. Henson, and Mrs.
J. P. Henson, all of this county.
A remarkable occurrence is the
fact that all of his direct descend
ants, including his wife and his
sons’ wives, were present at the
funeral. Asa fitting climax to his
long and useful life his six stal
wart sons bore his body to the
grave.
Mr. White’s life may be summed
up in these words: He was an in
dustrious and energetic farmer, a
stable citizen, a faithful friend, a
cheerful companion and a con
scientious member of the church.
The bereaved family should take
courage from the example which
he has left them and realize more
than ever betoie that a life of
faithfulness and usefulness goes
down tb the grave crowned with
honors.
