White - Bruce

Source: Waveland Independent newspaper, Waveland, Montgomery County, Indiana, Dec 30, 1943

 
Master Bruce WHITE, the 3-year-old grandson of Professor Jesse  White, former principal of our school was burned to death at the  home in Bloomington Friday. His pajamas caught fire from an  electric toaster. The father, Major John M. White is stationed in  Manila. Prof. Jesse White is a brother of another of our  principals, William White of Alamo. It is a coincidence that the  mother of the child and daughter of Prof. White married a man of  the same family name, White and the same initials as her  grandfather, the late John Marshall White of Alamo. - transcribed by kbz
