White volunteered for the war in 1861.
H.. entered the Confederate service as
lieutenant, was soon promoted To a
captaincy. afterward receiving an al
most fatal wound.
When the war ceased, Captain White
returned to Fort Mill, and resumed "X-
tenSivc farming operations. later in
vesting in manufacturing and COM
mCrciai enterprises.
Himself a patriot. he was quick to
recognize the herOiSm of others And
these monuments at Fort Mill today
are as much a tribute to his memory,
as to the patriotism and heroiSm they
present.-Greenville News.
All of the foregoing is substantially
correct. except that the venerable Sam
|! uel f. White is still alive. in fairly good
health. and never loses an opportunity
to do good. The lamented John Nj.
Spratt, who like Captain White. was
citizen who was a credit to any civ
ilization. passed away just one year
ago. Although all who nave been so
fortunate as To know these most esti-
mable gentlemen. are satisfied that
neither had any selfish motive in the
prosecution Of their work of patriotism
and love. the News is correct in the
suggestion that the monuments will
ever serve as tributes to the memory
of both of them.
