WHITE, WILLIAM S.
(31 Dec 1925, Elk City Newspaper, Elk City, Beckham Co, OK):
W. S. White was born in St. Joseph, Missouri, September 9, 1861, and died
at Elk City, Oklahoma, December 26, 1925, at the age of sixty-four years,
three months and seventeen days.  When only a month old his parents moved
to Hunters Bottom, Kentucky, and in that blue grass country he was reared
to manhood.  The family went to live at Mulberry Kansas in 1883 and it was
there at the old home that Mr. and Mrs. White spent the first few years of
their married life.  While connected with the Rock Island railroad at Fort
Worth, Mr. White met and married Lena M. Boyd and they immediately moved
to the farm home.  They went to Amarillo in 1906 where they spent less
than a year, then moved to Duncan, Oklahoma, where they made their home
until they came to Elk City in 1916.
Mr. White was connected with the Pittsburg Mortgage Company here until a
few years ago when he severed his connection with that company and went
into business for himself.  He was apparently in excellent health with the
exception of an occasional attack of stomach trouble and even his closest
friends and relatives did not realize his serious condition until the last
attack about two weeks ago, from which he never recovered.
Funeral services were held at the Methodist Church, South, Monday,
December twenty-eighth with interment at Fairlawn cemetery.
