News Star World - June 20, 2010
JAMES CARLTON WHITE

Kilpatrick Funeral Home

Farmerville, LA

A dear friend to many and our loved one passed away on June 19, 2010. He was 
named James Carlton White. The public knew him as Carlton, however his close 
friends called him "C-Baby" or simply "C".

Carlton was, at one time, an avid golfer and fisherman but in the last several 
years illness prevented him from participation in either.

Carlton was a dedicated care-giver to his soul mate Bettye Brenda during her 
bouts with illness. He would never accept a discouraging diagnosis without 
going to extremes to find a way to get Bettye on her feet. So many times we 
all thought that it would be Carlton that nursed Bettye to heaven…but we never 
know just how our lord and Savior Jesus Christ has our lives and our deaths 
planned.

Carlton and Betty would have celebrated their 51st wedding anniversary today 
(June 20, 2010). Carlton lived with the fact…believing that "we have loved the 
stars too fondly to fear or curse the night". He played the cards he was 
dealt, and played them well.

Carlton was an aggressive Mayor of Farmerville. He, more than any other 
individual, including those in Baton Rouge is responsible for Con Agra coming 
to Farmerville. He was very head-strong and would not take "NO" for an answer. 
He dearly loved "politics" and will be sorely missed by many.

Carlton was owner and publisher of The Gazette newspaper for 43 years. He was 
extremely active in local, state and national organizations such as Jaycees, 
Lions Club, First United Methodist Church, Farmerville Volunteer Fire 
Department, Louisiana Press Association Board of Directors, Past Master F. & 
A.M. #53, Knight Templar 32nd Degree Mason, Vice President Dist. B Louisiana 
Municipal Association and was employed with the Union Parish Sheriffs Office.

Carlton is survived by his wife of 51 years, Bettye Brenda White, two sons, 
Jim White of Geneva, IL and wife Karen, Steven White of Wilmington, NC and 
wife Jacqui. Three grandchildren, Nicholas White of Lafayette, LA, Nathan 
White and Natalie White of Geneva, IL, Brother Larry White and wife Judy of 
Farmerville, LA., nieces and nephews.

Born February 2, 1938 in Bernice, LA and passed on Friday, June 19, 2010 in 
Farmerville, LA.

He was preceded in death by his father Fred Carlton White and mother Vivian 
Reid White.

Memorial service is scheduled for Monday, June 21, 2010 at 2:00 P.M. at The 
First United Methodist Church in Farmerville, LA. with Rev. Johnny Hankins 
officiating.

Visitation is Monday, June 21, 2010, from 12:30 P.M. till time of service.
