White, one of the leading members of the medical profession, in his 55th year. Dr. White had been in Savannah for a week or so and left here (Savannah, Georgia) for home on Friday night last. He had been in feeble health for some time, and was impressed with the belief that he had not many days to live, but his friends, more sanguine, were unprepared for the news of his sudden death. Dr. White was a graduate of the Medical College of Philadelphia, was a surgeon of the United States Navy during the war with Mexico. During the war between the States Dr. White was a surgeon of Cobb's Legion, commanded by the lamented and gallant General T.R.R. Cobb, who was a warm personal friend of the deceased. For the past ten years Dr. White occupied the honorable position of President of the Medical Board of Georgia, being the successor of his distinguished father, Dr. Benjamin A. White, who was President of that Board for thirty years, and was also Surgeon General of the State of Georgia, and was universally esteemed as an eminent physician and a good man. The deceased was Past Deputy Grand Master of Masons in Georgia. He was born in Milledgeville and was about 55 years of age, and leaves a large family and a host of friends to mourn his loss.
