Obituary
Died. White - In this city, this Thursday morning about 5:30 o'clock, of asthma, Mr. Samuel White, in the 70th year of his age.
Deceased was born in Cornwall, England, Nov. 29, 1815. Just when he came to America we have not learned; he was, however, one of our oldest and most successful business men. He was married in August, 1855. Became united with the M.E. here about 1869.
For years Mr. White has been afflicted with asthma, but his indomitable energy never permitted him to neglect his business, as he was always to be found at his post. He was out on Tuesday of this week, since when he had been compelled by his affliction to remain at home, unable to lie down, et death came rather unexpectedly, and the entire city feels the shock.
A wife and seven children survive him, to whom the sympathy of the Tribune and the community is generally extended in their hour of affliction.
Funeral Sunday afternoon from the house at 3 o'clock. Services at the church.
Mineral Point Tribune, April 9, 1885
