• Obituary: From The Spirit of Jefferson, Charles Town WV On Sunday morning last, at the breakfast table, Mr. Nathan S. White was stricken with fatal illness and his spirit passed to the other world three hours later. The tidings as a great pall fell upon the community. Twice within a week sudden summons came to worthy citizens. Mr. White has been a resident of the town forty-eight years--and all these years were characterized by christian demeanor and neighborly consideration for all men. Confidence was reposed in him as a counsellor and friend; his church continually honored him; in the most unobtrusive way he delighted to give aid to the needy. The very large practice of his profession maintained through a long series of years was proof of his fidelity to clients. Nobody impeached his integrity. None that knew him can doubt that he has passed over the river to rest in the shade of the trees. Mr. White was born in Montgomery county. Md., in 1817, and was 71 years of age at his death. He was a graduate of Princeton College, read law with Burton & Williams at Winchester, Va., and attended lectures on law at Yale College, New Haven.
