Brother to Ruth (White) Brunskill 1836-1918
8-19-1926 Hawarden Independent
James White, for more than forty
years a resident of this community,
died at his home in this city last Friday
afternoon, August 13, 1926, following a lingering
illness. He had been in failing health
for a long time and for several months
past had been confined to his home.
It was plainly evident that he was
fast approaching the end of the way
so the children were notified and most
of them reached his bedside in time to
have a farewell visit with him before
he took his departure. The end came
quietly Friday morning.
Funeral services were held at the
Methodist church Monday afternoon
with Rev. J. W. LaGrone, the pastor
in charge. The body was buried in the
family lot in Grace Hill cemetery.
James White, son of John and Mary White,
was born at White Oak Springs, Wis., Dec. 4, 1851, and
departed this life at his home in Hawarden
Aug. 13, 1926, having attained
the age of 74 years, 8 months and 9
days. He lived in Wisconsin and Illinois
until March, 1886, when he moved
to Hawarden and his home has ever
since been in this community. On July
30, 1878, he was united in marriage
with Miss Alice E. Underwood and
eight children were born to this union,
all of whom are still living except one
daughter, Maggie Cordelia, who preceded
her father to the Great Beyond.
The surviving children are William E.
White of Hawarden, Mrs. E. A. Squier
of Hawarden, Mrs. E. C. Clark of
Hecla, S. D., Mrs. T. H. Sullivan and
Mrs. T. Cole, both of Great Falls,
Mont., Robert White of Hawarden and
Mr. Ben L. Well of Torton, S. D.,
thirty-one grandchildren, two
great grandchildren, one sister, Mrs.
Ann Parkin of Apple River, IL.,
one brother, Thomas White of Ireton,
and many other relatives.
Mr. White farmed during the greater
portion of his long residence in this
community, although for a number of
years he was engaged in the dray and
transfer business. He merited the
good will and esteem of a wide circle
of friends acquired through his long
years of honorable and upright life in
this community. He was a good neighbor,
a loyal friend and a kind and indulgent
husband and father, and the
members of his family have the sincere
sympathy of all in their bereavement.
