Taken from one of the following newspapers 
Springfield, Pawnee, Edinburg or Taylorville, 1929
Date of death was 19 Nov 1929, place- Christian county, Illinois


                                  WHITE

	John W. White, 69, life-long resident of the community and one of its
best known and highly esteemed figures, died at the home of his daughter
Mrs. C. F. Schneeberger, near Taylorville, at 8:30 p. m., Tuesday, Nov.
19, 1929, following a prolonged period of declining health.

	Mr. White was born on the South Fork township farm where he resided,
August 22, 1860, being the eldest son of the late Hiram and Sarah
Crowder White.  His marriage in 1882 was with Nettie Sharp of
Sharpsburg, who died on year ago.

	Surviving are two children, Mrs. J. A. Donner, Pawnee, and 
Mrs. C. F. Schneeberger, Taylorville; two grandchildren, John and Edith
Donner, Pawnee.

	Mr White’s life was devoted to his family and the management of his
farm, his supervision over business affairs being relaxed only when
encroaching illness limited personal concern.  His attention was always
engaged by developments of public interest, and these he followed with a
thoughtful analysis that ranked him among the influential citizens of
his community.

	Funeral services were held at the family homestead at 10 o’clock
Thursday morning, Rev. William A. Askew of Litchfield officiating. 
Interment was in Horse Creek cemetery.
