Jeter B. WHITE 

A Probable Serious Gunning Accident - 
[...] 

  FELL AND SHOT HIMSELF. - A probably fatal gunning accident occurred lately 
in Southampton county, near Boykins.  Jeter, the 14-year old son of Mr. W.G. 
White, while out hunting, fell from a log and accidently discharged the gun, 
the whole load of shot entering the top of his head.  When found he was 
unconscious and at last accounts there seemed little hope of recovery.

  DIED OF HIS INJURIES. - Jeter White, who was recently mentioned as having 
accidently shot himself, while out gunning, at his home near Boykins, died 
this week of his injuries after lingering several days.  The circumstances 
of the death render it peculiarly distressing to the parents.
