S. White (King Soloman) K. S. son of J. C. (John) and Nancy White. Ms. Loni told this story, later found documentation in the Clarksville Standard, Feb, 1887: letter to the editor: "J.C. White who was killed in the recent tragedy near DeKalb was a member of Company A of the 23rd Texas Cavalry, commanded by Col. N.C. Gould of Clarskville, Texas in the late war. He was fighting within a few steps of the noted Texas Cavalryman Gen. Tom Green when the General fell in the gun boat fight at Blair's Landing. The boys will all remember that John was a quiet, true and faithful soldier." Old Company D. I can not find my copy of the news story on the actual death.......murder.......but do have notes: 4 dead, one wounded. Col. John E. Rosser along with a hired man and his 15 year old son go to the White's to collect money.....end up in a gun fight........Col. Rosser killed.....son wounded...... J. C. White, dead; sons Walter and Lawson also killed. News article very detailed. (its on microfilm) This took place about 4 miles northwest of DeKalb, Feb. 7, 1887. Ms. Loni said that J.C. and his sons were buried in the old DeKalb cemetery ...... graves unmarked and at that time, she could no longer remember just where they were.......but does remember going with her father to visit cemetery. very sad story....K. S. White was about 11 and according to Ms. Loni was playing under the porch when this took place, remembered blood coming through the cracks in the wood. Barlow, Russell, ..... are also buried at old dekalb cemetery.
