                              MILO BURIER WHITE
Funeral services for Milo Burier White, accidently killed near Ypsilanti 
Thursday morning, were held Sunday from the North Plains church with Rev. Paul 
Stewart of Ionia officiating. prayer was offered by Rollin Severance of 
Saginaw, state president of the Gideon society and a cousin of the decease. 
Mrs. Merritt Greenhoe and Mrs. Melvin Burtraw, accompanied at the piano by 
Beatrice Anderson Smith, sang, "The Old Rugged Cross" and "Someday We'll 
Understand". The extra music at the beginning and ending of the service was 
also furnished by Mrs. Smith. The Masonic order conducted the ritual at the 
grave, having marched thence accompanied by the ladies of the Eastern Star, who 
carried the floral pieces of which there were many.

A splendid tribute to the esteem to which Mr. White was held in this community 
was witnessed by the many friends in attendance. Besides these, the friends and 
relatives from away were Mr. and Mrs. Douglas White of Flint, W. H. White, sr., 
of Northville, W. H. White, jr., of Farmington, Mrs. Mae White and family of 
Northville, Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Morse and family of Northville, Mr. and Mrs. 
Lester Stage of Northville, Mr. and Mrs. L. D. Stage of Grand Rapids, George 
White of Grand Rapids, Mrs. Del Burrier of Fowlerville, Mr. and Mr. Howard 
White of Perry, Mr. and Mrs. Evert White of Williamston, Mr. and Mrs. Homer 
White of Williamston, Rollin Severance of Saginaw, Mrs. Anna Taylor of 
Northville, Rev. Roy Ford of Jackson, Mrs. Nina Trombley and son, John, of 
Farmington, Mr. and Mrs. Frazer of Detroit, Mrs. Joseph Areta of Mishawaka, 
Ind., Mr. and Mrs. Doane Lung of Mishawaka, Ind., Mr. and Mrs. George Urtel and 
Ann of Alma, Donald O. Cross of Alma, Mrs. Emma Charles, Mrs. Lura Dalzell and 
Mrs. Edith Seeley of Ionia, Mr. and Mrs. John King of South Ionia and Mr. and 
Mrs. Charles Townsend of Durand.

Mr. Frazer, transportation department head for the Kroger firm, had with him 
photographic copies taken at the actual scene of the accident, which combined 
with the pictures of the wrecked truck, proved conclusively that the right rear 
tire blew out pulling the car off the road into a ditch from which it was 
catapulted onto the pavement, pinning Mr. White beneath. This dispels the 
theory advanced by those who arrived on the scene before daylight that the 
driver had gone to sleep. This first idea did not seem probable, for Mr. White 
had driven long distances, and trucked for years and never in this time had met 
with even a minor accident.
