MEApEE. WHITE DEAD.

Meade Fitzhugh White, commonwealth
attorney Of Augusta county. after an illness
Of several days. died at about about two
o'clock Friday afternoon at his residence in
this city Of Bright's disease, in his 52nd
year. For several years he had been SUBJ
ject to attacks that came near proving fatal.
The deceased was the eldest son of Hamp-
den A. White and Caroline Fitzhugh, and
was thus on his mothers side related to
Fitzhugh Lee. He was born in Fauquier
county. and received his education at Messy
Greek, this county under the tuition of his
uncle Thomas j. White and at the Univers-
ity Of Virginia. He went into the Confede-
rate army when quite youth, and was
courier for Fitzhugh Lee. His war record is
good. Tho academic course at the Univers-
ity he did not complete because of his health.
He took the law course, and was admitted
to the bar In Staunton December 2o, 1870,
where he had since practised. having three
times been elected commemorative attorney
for Augusta county, Fan Office he held at the
time of his death. and once commemorative
attorney of the city Of Staunton, an affice he
resigned shortly after election.
For accurate knowledge of the law, espe
cially tho department OF criminal law. he
had few if any superiors in the state, and
his knowledge of general law was remark
ably broad and complete. He was sharp,
clear thinker and reasoner, and an orator.
at his best Of no mean powers. While he
did not complete classical course at school
he was for many years classic student, and
he had rich storehouse Of general inform
alton. He must have had particular fond
ness for Latin, as he seemed to catch the
spirit of the language. which he quoted
with great precision and force.
When John I. Harris retired from Con-
gress Mr. White might have had nomination
il he had consented to accept 1t.
The deceased is survived by brother.
Rev, Robb White, an Episcopal minister of
Savannah, Georgia, and by six children,
three of whom are away, William George
and Hampden, aud three at home, Miss.
Carrie, John Daniel and Harry Fitzhugh.
All are grown except the last two. The
funeral took place at two o'clock Saturday
afternoon A short service was held at the
grave, conducted by his kinsman Rev. W.
CASTOR Payne. Thursday before his death
Mr.. White joined the Catholic church.
