Maj. White Dies
Lewis Bennett White, widely known resident of Norfolk, died early yesterday morning. He was 78 years old. Though a native of Mathews County, he had lived in Norfolk sixty-five years, being for a number of years a member of the firm of S. R. White & Brother, manufacturers of argricultural implements.
Early in 1861, when 17 years of age, Major White enlisted in the Confederate service as a sergeant in Wise's Cavalry Legion. At the beginning of 1862 he was commissioned captain of Company B, Fifth Virginia Cavalry, and most of the time thereafter, though only ranking as a captain, he was in command of a battalion of sharpshooters on the Fifth Virginia. Toward the end of the war he was brevetted a major.
He is survived by his wife (Clematine), a daughter, Mrs. Lucien D. Starke, a son, Herbert N. White and two brothers, L. C. (Leonard Cecil) and L. W. (Luther Wesley) White, all of Norfolk. Funeral services will be held Tuesday at noon at the residence, 512 Mowbray Arch, Rev. D. W. Howard D. D., of St. Luke's Episcopal Church, officiating. Burial will be in Elmwood Cemetery.
