He was past seventy-eight years old. He had lived all his fifty-two years of married life where he died, on his old farm near the Bethel church. He was the father of fourteen children, all of whom lived to be grown. God seen it well to call from this family circle, three daughters some years previous. He was buried at Dishman cemetery Sunday with all the family present except one son whom they tried to reach by telegram in Texas, and who is a traveling salesman. Mrs. WHITE went home with her son, Joe, but will continue to live at the old farm. — Link to the Obituary of his Widow, Rebecca Caroline (MCWHIRTER) WHITE [1851IN—1925IN]: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec?htx=message&r=rw&p=localities.northam.usa.states.indiana.counties.greene&m=2871 — NOTES—RLJ: (1) 1850 US CENSUS OF BOONE COUNTY, KENTUCKY, 6 Aug 1850, Page 148B, Lines 40-42 & Page 149, Lines 1-5, Dwelling 99, Family 99: L.
