====================
Aged Citizen Dies --Was the Father
of two members of the Police
Force -- Funeral Tomorrow

William Decatur White, the father of
officers Harry and Joseph White, of the
Police department, died last night at 9
o'clock at the home of his sons, No. 285
Crumley Street.

The deceased was seventy-five years of
age and had been a resident of Atlants
for nearly twenty years. He was born in
South Carolina, and was raised at Ham-
ilton, Harris county, Georgia.

The aged wife of the deceased survives
him, but she is on a bed of illness, and it
is not believed she will tarry long behind
the husband with who she has lived for
nearly half a century.

The funeral will occur at 2 o'clock Sun-
day afternoon from the residence, and the
interment will be at Oakland cemetery.
