Gilbert White, a logger, employed at Geo. Stoddard Lumber company camps, was killed Wednesday morning. The body was taken to the West chapel. Details are not known.

J. A. White, for nine years a resident of Union, died at his home in South Union, Sunday, November 27, 1927, age a little over 65 years. The funeral took place from Cock Bros., undertaking parlors, Tuesday afternoon, November 29.

Jas. Alexander White was born October 1st, 1862, in Arkansas and died at his home in Union, Ore., November 27th.

He came west to California about 1890, then returned to Missouri, where he was married, his wife dying 22 years ago.

He came to Union some nine years ago, where he has since made his home. He leaves behind him one son, Jas. Rodney White, of Kansas, and Mrs. Marie Graven, of Baker, Oregon. Also Mrs. Simmons, a cousin, with whom he stayed for a long time before his death.

Mr. White had been sick for many months, and at last was compelled to pay the universal debt of mankind.

The testimony of friends and neighbors is, he was a good man, honest to the limit and carried the respect of those who knew him. He was formerly a member of the Odd Fellows and of the Woodmen of the World, but ceased from both orders some time before he died.

He was laid away in the local cemetery. Robt.C. Lee of the Methodist Episcopal church, in charge.

Mr. And Mrs. E. O. Zerek returned Tuesday from Touchet , Washington, where they were called last Friday by the death of their brother-in-law, Morris white. Mr. White who retired Thursday night apparently as well as usual was found dead in bed Friday morning, no sign whatever of the slightest struggle; he always expected to pass away in this manner.

Mr. White was a merchant in Union 22 years ago, a conscientious honorable Christian man. His wife was brought here from Walla Walla five years ago, and died at Hot Lake. He is survived by his son William H. and his daughter Cora Johnson. Mr. White and his son were owners of a fine fruit ranch at Touchet which they had been living on for several years.

The funeral was held from the Congregational Church at Touchet, Monday, March 12. Interment in the Walla Walla cemetery by the side of his wife.

The straight stretch of highway between Hot Lake and La Grande was the scene of an automobile accident last Friday morning which resulted in the death of Mrs. W.H. White. A party composed of Mrs. White, her two grown daughters, Pearl and Helen and Mr. and Mrs. Paul Miller and son Harold, left Nampa, Idaho, Thursday night, it is stated, and Mr. Miller who was driving was apparently tired and half-asleep. The car went into the ditch and in attempting to bring it back on the highway the car was turned over, pinning Mrs. White underneath and killing her instantly. The party was picked up later and taken to la Grande, where it was found none of the other occupants of the car were hurt.

They were on their way to Portland and Pasadena, Calif., where the White family expected to locate. The body of Mrs. White was taken their for burial.
