☆~ VETERAN, CIVIL WAR (1861-1865) ~☆

Death loves a shining mark, and yesterday morning the grim messenger took from our midst one of the foremost citizens of the eastern section of Cass County, Ivan S. White.

For many years, he was one of the prominent farmers of Rock Bluff Precinct, but who for the last few years has resided in Murray.

Mr. White, on his retirement from the farm, at first removed to Plattsmouth, where he purchased property, but laer decided to move to Murray, among more familiar scenes, and secured him a home there, and had resided in that place since that time. Mr. White for the past few years had been suffering greatly from cancer, and despite all that medical skill or loving hands could do, the disease continued its ravages until it made his recovery impossible and he suffered patiently until the end brought him relief.

The loss of Mr. White will be greatly felt throughout the county where he was so well and favorably known and where he had resided since 1856, and his passing will leave a place hard to fill, as he was one of those strong, sturdy men who have made the state of Nebraska all it is, and his advice and watchfulness in the early days of the young state and county contributed much to its material welfare.

Ivan S. White was born in Davis county, Missouri, May 19, 1835, and was reared on a farm in Livingston county, Missouri, growing to manhood in this section of the country, and he farmed there for himself for two years with much success, and secured the training that later proved of such untold value to his ventures further west. He later removed to Pottawattamie county, Iowa, but resided there only a few months, removing to Nebraska in August, 1856, and located in Rock Bluffs, then a flourishing little city, engaging in farming near that point, and as a result of his ability and watchfulness he was able to accumulate quite a neat fortune for his old age. During the last years of his life on the farm he was engaged quite extensively in the raising of stock.

During the civil war Mr. White enlisted in the Second Nebraska cavalry and served with much credit to himself in that regiment for eight months. While a resident of Livingston county, Missouri, he was married on February 28, 1854, to Miss Anna Smith, and as a result of that union two children Mrs. David Hiatt of Sydney, Iowa, and Mark White, residing on the old home near Rock Bluffs, are left to mourn the loss of the father.

Beside the widow and children, Mr. White leaves to mourn his loss two brothers, Mr. Dempsey White of Surprise, Neb., and dMr. Lankford White of Chillicotha, Missouri, and one sister, Mrs. N. C. Hobbs, of Los Angeles, California.
