FIRST SON AND CHILD OF MOSES MARSHALL WHITE AND MARY ELIZABETH WILLIAMS
William R. White and his family lived in Thomaston, Upson County, Georgia.
William was affectionately called Nem by his cousins and is even listed as Nem on the census of 1900.
Nem lived on a farm adjoining that of his father, Moses M. White. Following the death of his mother and subsequently his father, it was sold at public auction. This was bought by Martha Caroline White Taylor. It is interesting to note that she sold part of the property back to William on the same day she bought it.
William was bit by a spider while gathering fodder (the leave of the corn stalk) in one of the family fields. The bite became infected with blood poison and William died within a few days on September 20, 1920. William, along with his wife Rebecca Lou Beverly White are buried in the Valley Grove Baptist Church Cemetery located on Atwater Road in Thomaston, Upson County, Georgia. The inscription on his tombstone reads:
W. R. White
"They are not dead
Those loved ones who have passed.
They have but reached the light
While we still grope in darkness."
Rebecca Lou lived for twenty six year following the death of William. She was a diabetic and eventually had to have both of her legs amputated. One of her grandchildren said she was the first person he ever saw in a wheel chair.
