-----------------------------------
The old school bell is ringing regularly again and the bright faced happy children hurry to answer the call; but a new hand is at the rope. Mr.White the faithful, long -tried, patient janitor is not there. Neither is he at the M.E. church where, for so many years, his familiar face seemed a part of the Sabbath services, Joseph White is dead. For some months he has had disease of the heart, and Friday morning the end came. He was a good man and will be greatly missed. His funeral was conducted by the Masonic Order, of which he was a member, Friday afternoon. Peace to his ashes. Only one son survives, David Edward White
lives in Lafayette, Indiana. Lawrenceburg Press, September 4, 1884, Thursday
