DR. B.O. WHITE DIES SATURDAY
Brother of W.E. White, of Rockdale, Dies in Hospital at Huntsville.
Mr. and Mrs. W.E. White were called to Huntsville Saturday by the news of the sudden illness of Mr. White’s brother, Dr. B.O. White, who died in a Huntsville hospital a half hour after their arrival.

He served his country during the World War, being in active service overseas for two years, with the rank of Captain in the Medical Corps. Following his return from France he located at New Waverly.
The funeral was held Sunday afternoon with religious services at the Methodist church, of which he was a member, and with internment following in Oakwood Cemetery at Huntsville.
