Last Thursday morning IL telegram
brought the sad news to Anderson that
CT: popular fellow towusman, Mr..
Frank u. Wilhite, had passed from
time into eternity at an early hour that
morning in tho Johns Hopkins Hospi-
tai, Baltimore. Md, where he had been
under treatment for several weeks for
q complicated disease that had bafilcd
the skill of the attending physicians.
The announcement was no shock to his
friends, for it had been expected any
day for week OF more preceding his
death. His devoted mother and sister
and brother, DR.. j. o. White, were at
his bedside when he breathed his last.
He was conscious almost to his last
breath, and, after sending kind mes
sages to many Of his intimate friends
here, urged his loved ones not to grieve
over his departure, for he was fully
prepared to meet the blessed Saviour,
whom he had served 30 well and faith
fully in this life.
The remains arrived in the city last
Friday afternoon and, at the request of
the deceased, were kept until 10 o'clock
to-day, when they were laid to rest in
the First Baptist Churchyard with
Masonic honors, after funeral services
conducted in the Church by his pastor,
Rev. j. D. Chapman.
Mr.. White wee the eldest sun OF tho
late DR.. P. A. White, aud was born in
Anderson March 10, 1857. He received
good English education mainly under
the late Prof. w. j. Ligon, and at an
easly age began the study of pharmacy
under his lamented father. He soon
received certificate. after q rigid ex-
animation, from the Pharmaceutal AS
sociation of South Carolina. In 1886
he graduated from the Chicago College
of Pharmacy, and then entered
the National Institute of Phar-
macy, from which he graduated,
after two years of hard study, in
1883. Mr.. Wilhite missed several of the
examinations at the latter Institute,
but at the final test came off third in a
class of ono hundred students. In 1870
he began the drug business as o part
ner of his father, which continued un-
til the latter's death, since which time
Mr.. White has continued the business.
He had large and successful business,
and gave his whole time ana attention
to it.
Mr. White was always ready to take
a hand in anything that would help ad-
vance the best business interests of
Anderson and was identified with
many of the leading industries of the
town. He was q moving spirit In the
building Of the Hotel Chiquola, and
took an active part in the erection of
Masonic Temple. He served several
terms as an Alderman, and was a pub
lie spirited citizen in It's broadcast sense.
The writer suffers personal loss in
the death of Mr.. White, with whom
we have been intimately associated
since our boyhood days. He was al
ways the true, the noble and the unself-
ish friend. He WAS an humble Chris
tian, having been since his boyhood a
devoted member of the Baptist Church.
Charitable in all things, high minded
and honorable in his dealings with
men, hopeful and courageous in the
battle Of life, it is not wonderful that
he drew to himself n host of friends
and received the plandits of his fellow
men. He possessed most modest,
gentle disposition, and his hand was
ever open for the succor of the un-
fortunate. His wide circle of friends
knew him as an affable, courtly, kindly
gentleman, and will long cherish his
memory. Our sympathies go out to the
sorely bereaved mother, sister an(
brother in their sorrow.
