                 DIES    FROM    AN    OLD    WOUND

         Everett Eugene White, Well Known at Pawnee, Passes Away.

Special to the Springfield news.

  Pawnee, April 26 - Everett Eugene White, oldest son of Mr. And Mrs.
Hiram White, died at his home in this village at 3:35 o’clock yesterday
afternoon.  The deceased was 25 years and 7 months of age.

  Some years ago the young man was accidentally shot by a companion
while hunting with a 22 calibre rifle.  The ball penetrated his back and
lodged just behind the lungs, from which location it was impossible to
extract it.  The lungs eventually became affected from the wound and a
couple of years ago he suffered a number of hemorrhages.  He was then
taken to New Mexico and the southwest by his relatives and remained in
that locality for several months, being greatly benefited by the change.
On his return he was apparently in robust health and continued so for a
long time, when the old trouble reappeared and he has since been
periodically afflicted with hemorrhages.

  He was married about a year ago to Miss Hattie Meredith, daughter of
Mr. And Mrs. C. C. Meredith, who reside a few miles east of here.  He is
survived by his parents, wife, two brothers and two sisters.

  Deceased has lived in the immediate vicinity since childhood and was
well and favorably known to everyone.  His brother, Hiram White, is a
prominent capitalist and was formerly president of the Pawnee railroad,
also the Horse Creek Coal company, now the Victor.

  The funeral will be held from the Horse Creek Baptist church tomorrow
(Thursday) morning at 11 o’clock.  The services will be conducted by the
Rev. William Thompson of Springfield.  Interment will take place at the
Baptist cemetery.

Note:  Original obituary (as submitted above) incorrectly stated that 
Everett E. White was the brother of Hiram White.  Should have read that
he was the SON of Hiram White.
