Force --  Funeral Tomorrow

William Decatur White, the father of

for nearly twenty years.  He was born in

HARRY D. WHITE AND MISS LOLA WHITE

...Miss Loll White died in Atlanta a few years since, she was a bright musician, and could sing most any tune in the book. She was a leader in music for eight years; performed well on the piano and organ, and was thoroughly posted in music. She was in the choir in one of the leading churches and led the music for several years, up to the time of her death. She was a woman of great beauty, well educated, highly esteemed and a Christian lady, having been a member of the Baptist Church most all her life. She was in the bloom of womanhood when death claimed her as its victim. The writer of this sketch only met Miss Loll twice. She was at the meeting, of the Concord Convention held at Douglasville the year before she died and led two beautiful lessons during that convention, and endeared herself to the people of Douglasville, and the surrounding country. She had a sweet voice, pleasant manners and led music to perfection. In honor of her name, one of the quarterlies of the Stone Mountain Singing Convention, has been converted into a memorial singing, in memory of Miss Loll White. We don't suppose there was a more popular young woman that belonged to the convention than Miss Loll. If she had lived, she was to have been married in a few months, to one of the leading physicians of Atlanta."

Shiloh Church at Etna in Smith County

Research Provided by:  Robert Vaughn
rl_vaughn@yahoo.com

     I ran across this tidbit on D. P. White. It is found in the 1876 Cherokee Baptist Association
minutes. In the list of churches, the Shiloh Church at Etna in Smith County lists "D. P. White" as their
church clerk. I'm pretty sure this is B. F.'s son. Etna was the equivalent of the present-day Bullard
just north of Larissa/Mt. Selman over in Smith County. Etna stands in relation to Bullard as Larissa to Mt.
Selman. Both are the old towns that were bypassed by the railroad and Bullard & Mt. Selman are the new
towns that rose up, at the railroad. Anyway, a church with the post office at Etna probably would have been
quite close to where D. P. was living according to the 1880 & 1900 censuses, and he may have even settled at a different place when he first arrived in the area.

     "Newspaper Obituaries 1836-1908, Cherokee Co., Texas
(Book # I, compiled by Helen Woodell Crawford and published in 1903) 

     'A notice of the death of "David R. White', of Mt. Selman in the 11-6-1903 issue. The middle initial is wrong, but the age is right,'white male 75 years old, died on 10-23-1903'. 

     I went to the Cherokee Co. courthouse and looked this up. In the original records the initial also appears to be an "R", but I still believe this is David Patillo White. How many 75 yr. old David White's were there likely to be in Mt. Selman? 

     In this same, "Newspaper Obituaries" book, excerpted from 2-5-1904**, we read: "Mt. Selman: Mrs. D. P. White, died at her home Tuesday night. She had been an invalid for 15 or 16 years. She leaves 2 daughters and 3 sons." 

Below is page 7 of the, "Cherokee Co Banner, (Jacksonville, Tex), Vol 17, No. 30, Ed 1, Friday 5, 1904, Page 7 of 7.

Below is the Front page of the said Newspaper, or page 1, Celeste death notice is on
Page 7, col. 4 at bottom, of the page as Mrs DP White...

Below is page 7, the Death Notice is in col. 4 at bottom of page, in Yellow.

     David and Celeste lived around Larissa/Mt. Selman (which is about 3 miles apart) and it would seem most likely that they would be buried at Larissa. There is no cemetery in Mt. Selman. But I have gone to Larissa and looked at every tombstone. There is not one there for them. They could be in unmarked graves, I suppose. The next closest cemetery might be at Bullard in Smith County. I haven't looked there. I'm not really sure if anything else "cemetery-wise" is closer.

     The other little bit of information I have is from "Cherokee County History, copyright 1986 by the Cherokee County Historical Society. From pages 89-96, D. P. White was elected Justice of the Peace Precinct #4 (Mt. Selman area) on 11-6-1888 and again on 11-4-1890. He was commissioned a notary public on 6-1-1893 and every two years thereafter, the last time being 6-1-1903" (also indicating his 1903 death is correct).

Journey's from Henry County 
Alabama to Polk County Texas  

Research Provided by:  Robert Vaughn
rl_vaughn@yahoo.com

     I found a book at the SFA Library - "The History of Polk County, by Emma Haynes (1937, evidently self published)". It has chapters on different cities and communities in Polk County. Chapter Fifteen (p. 142) starts a chapter on the Providence community "four miles southeast of Livingston". 

     What I found most interesting was that "The community was first called Henry County Settlement". That is, Henry County as in Alabama, because of its early settlement. Several related families (Peebles, Brock, Williams, Lowe, and Galloway) "moved here from Henry County, Alabama in ox wagons in 1850". It also says that "...Reverend Reuben Brown lived here before the Peebles came...Rev. Brown was from Alabama, but not from Henry County".  I don't have much knowledge of David P.'s wife's family, but this Rev. Brown might be related. 

Civil War Service of a Davis P. White....

     Also, on page 145, 146 is a list of those from the Henry County (Providence) Settlement who fought in the Civil War. One on the list is a "Davis P. White". This might be someone altogether different, or could be our "David P. White", although I don't know if he fought in the war.  If this is him, and judging by the place of birth of Ella (according to the 1870 Polk Co. census), they must have arrived there around 1861. Some of this is probably more meaningful to you.

Notes from Mike:
The link between Henry Co AL and Polk Co TX, is significant, in that 
it shows a pattern, a reason a person may have migrated to Polk Co TX
from Henry Co AL. It implies, a possible family relation or connection.

Civil War:
There were two primary Regiments from Polk Co TX;  1st & 5th Infantry Regiments,
David may have served in one of these Units.  Initially, it appears neither he nor David's
wife filed from a Confederate Pension, but can mean they made do much money to re-
ceive a pension, or he could have been in a Militia unit. (Investigating).

Pvt Robert H White

Co I 13th Georgia Regiment - Starks Volunteers Spalding Co GA
(Robt married his wife Mary in Spalding Co GA 1854)

Mustered into service, July 8, 1861 at Griffin, GA, served with Floyd's Brigade in West Virginia, reassigned to Lawton's Brigade at Savannah, arriving January 1, 1862, reorganized May 1862. The Lawton-Gordon-Evans Georgia Brigade (so-named for its three principal commanders) was one of the premier brigades of Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia, serving with distinction from the Seven Days battles around Richmond (May-June 1862) until its surrender at Appomattox Court House (April 9, 1865). The brigade was initially comprised of six regiments (13th, 26th, 31st, 38th, 60th, and 61st Georgia), which were raised at the call of Governor Joe Brown for the defense of the Georgia coast following the bombardment of Fort Sumter. The 13th Georgia had initially mustered into Confederate service on July 8, 1861 and served briefly with Brig. Gen. John B. Floyd's brigade in West Virginia, seeing minor action at the Battles of Sewell Mountain and Laurel Hill before being returned to Georgia due to sickness and lack of clothing suitable for the harsh winter climate in the West Virginia mountains. While on coastal duty, they engaged in a number of skirmishes, including the capture of a gunboat that afterwards bore their name and a brush-up with the 8th Michigan on Whitemarsh Island, Georgia on April 16, 1862. The six regiments were placed under the command of Brig. Gen. Alexander Lawton, commander of the Georgia Military District, who had proposed formation of an "elite brigade" of Georgia troops to answer Richmond's call for troops to repel the threat posed by McClellan's advance from Williamsburg on the Confederate capital (i.e. the Peninsula Campaign). In May 1862, the six regiments, which mustered between 6,000-7000 men, were moved by train to Lynchburg and the Shenandoah Valley to reenforce Stonewall Jackson as part of a deception planned by General Lee to mask his planned offensive against McClellan's forces around Richmond.

She has been dead several years and is buried in the city of Atlanta in the family burying ground. She was the mother of one child, a daughter, who is also buried by the side of her mother. Mrs. Adair was well versed in music -- took lessons from her father for a long time -- share was a fine singer and was no less in devotion, and in the advocacy of the cause of vocal music, than that of her father, mother, brothers and sisters.' She was a strict member of the Baptist Church and believed in the atonement made by her Lord and Master. She died with a Christian hope of eternal salvation. She was noted for her performing on the instrument, and was a gifted musician and taught instrumental music.

====================================================

Atlanta GA City Directory 1878-1880 - for Mary:  (by Janet Ward)

All of the addresses are from the Atlanta, Ga City Directory for that year. 

1878 - Mrs. Mary C Adair female; 72 Decatur; Occupation, Music Teacher 

1879 - Mary C Adair, female: 6 Spring: Widow of Wm Adair.  There is a separate listing for Miss Willie Adair at the same address: occupation Hair Work. 

1881 - Mary C Adair, female: 264 Decatur; widow of Wm Adair. 

1883 - Mary C Adair, female: 161 Fraser: Widow of Wm Adair.  There is a separate listing for Miss Willie Adair at the same address. 

1884 - Mary C Adair, female: 161 Fraser: Widow of W E Adair. 

1885 - Mary C Adair, female: 4 Werners Ave; Occupation, Music Teacher.  There is a separate listing for Mary W Adair at the same address: Occupation Hairdresser. 

1886 - Mrs Mary C Adair female; 91 E Harris; Occupation, Music Teacher. 

(1880 census has her daughter listed incorrectly as her sister, among other errors) 

**There is an Oakland Cemetery record for a Miss Willie Adair with DOD as June 16, 1886, Atlanta, Ga. 
  The DOB is reported as 1866, which I believe is in error. Should be about 1852.  I believe that this may
  be the burial of Mary Willie Adair. 

Have not been able to locate any other records after 1886.

From the book "White Spirituals in the Southern Uplands",
by George Pullen Jackson, he writes:

Nancy was "born with the faculty of music was educated in music by her father and is a great admirer of the old Sacred harp but loves all good music She was one of the leaders in the Sacred Harp when she as a young women. And all her children are musicians. Mrs John Cooper one of her daughters is the leader of the First Presbyterian church choir in Altanta.

Subject:
Seeking information on James Linton White Sr.
who was the first Scoutmaster in Columbus GA,
formed Troop #1, May 1911.

Web Link:   http://www.troop169.com/about-troop-169/

From Bill Storey,

     "I have been researching and compiling the early scouting history in our local Chattahoochee Council for many years. The first 10 years of scouting here has been very challenging since there wasn't a scout council to oversee the local troops. I finally have been able to establish that James Linton White was the first scoutmaster in Columbus having formed Troop 1 in May 1911. They met at the YMCA and appear to have been active for at least 2 years. I was hoping to obtain a nice photo of James White dated around 1911, if not a later would be just fine. Also if there is any information about his troop it would be greatly appreciated. Some of his scouts were Forest Johnson, Dexter Jordan, Edwin Thomas, Clifford Brady, George Roberts, Terrill Hill, Nunnally Johnson, Henry Pease and Charles Douglas. If you can help please contact me.

Yours in scouting,
