THE LATE J. G. WHITE.
The death of Joseph G. White, which
occurred yesterday, is an event that was
not unlooked for. During the past five
or six years he has been visibly failing,
and for a twelvemonth has been only a
a wreck of his former self. He was
during the greater part of his life, one
of the most vigorous and hardy of men,
but a fall from his buggy some six years
ago proved to be a shock from which he
never fully recovered, and his most intimate
friends are of the opinion that his
mind was thereby injured to such an extent
that he was never the same man afterwards.
Joseph G. White was born at Winchester,
Va , February 14, 1799. When quite
young he removed to Bainbridge, Ross
county, Ohio, where, on the 27th of November,
1822, he was united in marriage
to Miss Mary Ann Platter?, who died in
this city in March, 1873. The active
years of his life were spent in Ohio,
where he was engaged in business that
proved quite successful. In 1855 he removed
with his family to Decatur, which
was his residence during the remainder
of his life.
Of the eight children born to him-one son and seven daughters—four
daughters have preceded him to the
grave. One of them was the wife of
Senator R. J. Oglesby, and died at the
executive mansion in Springfield during
the gubernatorial term of her husband,
in May, 1868. Two of the remaining
daughters, Mrs. J. L. Fenton and Mrs.
F. L. Hays, reside here.
Mr. White was in many respects a
very remarkable man—warm-hearted
and impulsive in his nature, and devotedly
attached to his family and friends.
He had many admirable traits of character,
and his death will be sincerely
mourned.
The funeral will take place at 3:30
o'clock this afternoon from the residence of J.L. Fenton.
