SAMUEL Il. WHITE.

We are sorry to pen the death of our
beloved friend Samuel B. White, son
of William and Susie White, OF Cedar
Springs. Sam and his brother-in-law
were cutting trees and one of them fell
on Sam, crushing his leg all to pieces.
He had to lie there long time before
anyone could get to him. His wife
and little child got to him as soon as
possible Oh, this was an awful sight
for them to witness. He was away up
in gulf and when his wife got to
him he told her not to grieve about
him ..He said, Il have been praying
while I have been here by myself "
His wife was waiting for him to come
to dinner when the news came to her
that he was hurt. Nobody knows the
feelings of his dear wife except those
who have had trial like this to bear.
He professed religion and Joined the
| Methodist Church at Whitwell about
four years go. Since that time he has
been living true Christian life. He
was married to Miss Mandy Rogers
about ten years ago. This happy union
was blessed with four bright children,
one girl and three boys, who together
with their mother, mourn their loss.
| His married life was uncommonly
| pleasant and happy. Few men have
been so much loved and honored as a
husband, and few fathers have been
able to manifest so much genuine love
for home and loved ones. He was a
young man of strong mind, OF much
force of character, and was therefore
entertaining in conversation. Possess
ing kind, lovable disposition, he
made friends of old and young. He
was always good and kind to all who
visited his home. AS citizen he was
honest, upright and honorable. He was
a kind neighbor, ever ready to lend 8
helping hand, kind, loving and sym.
pathetic husband and father His de-
votion to his brothers and sisters wal
beautiful He never forgot the lessor
taught him in childhood. In the deatl
of this brother the name is no more or
our roll. This alone, would make hi
death a sad one for the community.
As q Christian he was Jealous, earn
est, active and faithful. The count,
has lost one of its best citizens, thu
community good neighbor, tn
church faithful member. A hus
band, father and brother tried All
true, has been called from us. He wa
g loved by all who knew him. Oh, how
we will all miss dear Sam, but his Low
$ ing wife will miss him more than all
: Oh, how sad were our hearts to loo
upon his lifeless face, but how thank
b full we are that Jesus had sweetly say
