William H. WHITE of Gibson was summoned into eternity at 7 o'clock yesterday morn. On Saturday afternoon about 2 o'clock he left his home in Gibson for the lumber camp of his brother, Elias WHITE, which is situated about 17 miles the other side of Stanley. He was dispatched thither by his brother, Elias, who had come from there the night previous and had a couple of letters he wished to get there in haste. William gladly consented and left home in the best of spirits and never enjoying better health. That night he arrived at Johnson' boarding house on the Cardigan road, the last stopping place for all lumbermen previous to their setting out of the lumber camps in the region back of Stanley. He slept there that night and arose at 6 o'clock yesterday morn. in order to have an early breakfast and get an early start for the camp, which he desired to reach before night. He was then feeling as well as usual and after washing himself laid down on the ounge in the kitchen to wait till the morning's meal was ready. He had not been there over a few minutes before he complained of feeling unwell and shortly afterwards such violent symptoms manifested themselves that those astir at the time feared he was in the throes of death. A messenger was sent with all possible dispatch for Dr. Moore of Stanley, which is 7 miles distant from the boarding house, but before the doctor arrived Mr. White was dead. Heart disease was pronounced the cause of death. Mrs. White was notified of the occurrence by telephone and this morn. Undertaker Vanwart left with a conveyance to bring the body to Gibson. He will arrive about 5 o'clock this eve. The deceased was 61 years old and twice married, the second wife surviving him. By the first wife he leaves four sons and one daughter, all of whom are now living in Boston and vicinity. Four brothers also survive him. They are Michael WHITE of Nashwaak; and Allan WHITE, Moses WHITE and Elias WHITE of Marysville. The deceased represented the parish of St. Mary's in the City Council for eight years and was a candidate for municipal honors in the last election. When the big fire swept over Gibson a few years ago he was a loser to the extent of $5,000. He was a son of the late Wm WHITE, one of the first settlers on the Nashwaak Valley, having squatted down there before there was hardly an inch of land cleared, and when there was not a wagon road leading to and from the place. The deceased was well known in his palmy days, having run a public house at Gibson for upwards of 30 years.
