Former Carrolltowner Dead

Jacob White, a native of Germany, died of Bright's disease 
on Saturday afternoon at his home in Altoona, where he had 
lived for thirty-eight years. When one year old, Jacob 
White came to this country with his parents and when five 
years old he moved to Carrolltown. There he learned the 
carpenter trade and he later became a raftsman on the old 
Canal. He had the distinction of being the first man to 
take a raft of logs from Cherrytree beyond the Alleghenies, 
down the Old Canal to New York City.
