Funeral of Mr. J.J. White

The funeral of Mr. John J. White occurred yesterday
morning from the residence of his mother, Mrs. H.B.
White on Poplar Street, at 10:30 o'clock, and was
largely attended. Mr. John J. White was born Sept.
7th 1845, in Virginia, and was special courier to
General Robert E. Lee during most of the war,
attending him in most of the important battles until
old enough to enlist, which was not until the close
of the war.

Just after the close of the war, he moved to Albany,
Ga., where he was engaged in the cotton business. On
January 7th 1869 he was married to Miss Dora
Hutchinson of Louisville, Ky., by whom he leaves two
daughters.

Shortly after moving to Albany he moved to St.
Louis, where he became a prominent member of the St.
Louis Grain and Cotton Exchange. He came south just
one year ago for his health and then went to New
Mexico for the same purpose. From there he proceeded
to El Paso, Texas, and after two weeks died on Feb.
7th 1888 and was buried here on Feb. 14th. Mr. J.J.
White was born on the 7th of the

month, baptized on the 7th, married on the 7th, and
died on the 7th.

To his relatives we wish all the consolation that
religion and philosophy may give.
