Died of Paralysis
Last Sunday evening news reached our city announcing that the dead body of Jos. A. White
had been found on the premises of Pleas McKnight, ten miles northwest of Richmond. The
deceased was somewhere in the sixties and was very feeble, and the first announcement of
his death created no unusual suspicion, but later it was reported that the body had 
several bruises on it and Coroner Hill was notified of the fact. On Monday morning in 
company with R.K. Green, Constable, the Coroner proceeded to the residence of Mr. McKnight,
where an inquest was held on the body. The evidence before the Coroner’s jury was to the
effect that White had had a stroke of paralysis some time ago, and that he also frequently
had spells of choking that would almost result in death, and no marks of violence being 
found on the body the jury returned a verdict that the deceased came to his death from 
unknown causes. The deceased was well known to the people, once residing with J.C. Cates, 
of near Richmond, and was known as Alex. White. He had for many years been in destitute 
circumstances, and had recently made his home with Pleasant McKnight.
