A WELL KNOWN PIONEER SUCCUMBS

Samuel S. White, a highly respected resident of Delaware county, and father of Postmaster Robe Carl White of this city, died at his home in Royerton Sunday afternoon about five o'clock. Mr. White had been in ill health for over a year and his death was not wholly unexpected. Mr. White was born in Franklin County, June 20, 1831, and at the time of his death he was 78 years old. Mr. White with his parents moved to Delaware County in 1836 where with the exception of a few years in which he resided in Kansas he had lived ever since. When a young man he engaged with his uncle in the merchandise business in the little town of Granville, then one of the principal trading centers in Delaware County. After several years in this business he disposed of his interests but a few years later engaged in the same business in Royerton. Mr. White was also widely known throughout the country as a contractor and builder. While in his younger days Mr. White was a casket maker and on several occasions in his early life he was called to ride several miles to build a casket in which to bury the dead and often after building the casket he has placed the body in the casket and ridden with it on horseback to the place of burial.

Mr. White was a veteran of the Civil War and served as a member of what was known as the 100-days' company. In 1861-1862 he served as a member of the Delaware County Board of Commissioners. The deceased in his young days was an active member of the Christian church and he was one of the first members of that denomination.

Mr. White was the father of nine children five of whom now survive. They are John O. White, a general merchant at Royerton; Charles E. White, of Muncie, who is connected with Ringling Brothers circus, as a special agent; Robe Carl White, postmaster at Muncie and president of the Muncie Commercial Club, Mrs. Walter A. Allison, of Iola, Kansas, and Mrs. Rawley M. Collins, of San Antonio, Tex. Eight grandchildren, whose names are as follows: Mrs. Charles Jenkins, Vernon White, Mrs. Harry Nigh, Ray Baumgardner, Herbert Sheets, Lottie Sheets, Lacy Sheets and Helen Allison and _?_ great-grandchildren survive.

The funeral services will be conducted in the Royerton Christian church tomorrow morning at 10:30 o'clock. The Rev. Andrew Younce, a boyhood friend of the deceased and for over fifty years a co-worker in church circles with Mr. White, will officiate and interment will be made in the Eaton cemetery.

A special car will leave this city for Royerton Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock from the terminal station. The car will go from Royerton to Eaton, where the funeral services will be held. The singing will be by Miss Charline Topp and Mr. Colvin of this city, who are relatives to the deceased.
