/
REV. WIN. NJ. WHITE, so well known
here by reason of his three years pastorate
of the NJ. E. church died suddenly and
almost without warning, at II IL o'clock
last Sunday morning, at the residence of J
friend, Frank Petit, AS Line street, Cam
den, with whom he was stopping during
the session of the annual Conference of the
M. E. church.
About six weeks ago Mr.. White tripped
on nail while walking on the boardwalk
Atlantic City, and was thrown violently
against an obstruction. He suffered con-
siderable pain in the region of the lungs as
the result of the fall, but his condition was
not thought to be serious and he took an
active part in the proceedings of Confer
enee until Friday, when he was compelled
to remain at the home of Lieutenant Petit
under the care of physician. He was
treated for lung trouble, but the attending
physician did not regard his illness as seri-
GUS. He grew worse Saturday evening,
and Revs w. G. Ludlow and M. E. Sny-
der volunteered to remain with him all
night Shortly after midnight Mr. Lud-
low lifted the patient up, and he died in
his arms.
The deceased was admitted to the New
Jersey Conference in 1877. his first ap-
p0intment being at Lumbert and Smith
vile, having been stationed on that charge
during 1876 under the presiding Elder.
He has served the following charges =
1878-79-80, Princeton 18S1-82-83. First
church. Red Bank 1885 SO. Freehold !;
1S87-S8-89, New Brunswick, First church !;
1890-91, First church, Red Bank 1929
81, Woodbury.; 1895-96-97, Central church,
Atlantic City.
Last year he was assigned to Trenton,
but so strong was the protest against his
leaving the Atlantic City church that the
Bishop reconsidered his former appoint
ment and allowed him 10 stay at his old
charge. During the three years that Pas
tor White was stationed at Atlantic City
he relieved the church of debt of $24 O00
and built beautiful new house IF worship
Cd Pacific avenue.
MIR. White was a bachelor, and was
about so years of age.
The funeral took place at the Central M
E. church at Atlantic City yesterday morn
ing.
Mr.. White was one of the strongest per-
sonalities in the M. E. Conference; as a
pulpit orator he had few superior, and he
threw into his pastoral work delightful
courtesy that made him welcome every
where. Hence his influence for good
extented to all denominations and all
creeds; and in his death all will
mourn the loss of friend.
