WHITE, O. A. -- Last week the Miner stated that O. A. White was dangerously ill. Today we have to record his death and burial. He passed away at 1:10 on Saturday morning and was interred at two o'clock on Sunday afternoon. Rev. H. N. Smith conducted the funeral services. O. A. White was a familiar figure in Rock Springs, having spent most of his life in this town and other places along the U. P. Railroad. Had he lived he would have been 45 years old next January 1894. He was a public spirited man, but nature had endowed him with too large a heart to reach the goal of his undertakings. Kind, gentle and accommodating he forgot his own interests in the interest of others and at no time in his life did he refuse to share his last dollar with a friend. For this the cool, calculating brain may blame him, but yet this irresistible trait demands admiration. Several years ago he was the democratic candidate for sheriff against Joseph Young and gave Mr. Young a strong race. His parents reside in Salt Lake City. The pall bearers were H. H. Edgar, William Southern, Zeph Jones, Neil Wise, Thomas Hartney and Lloyd P. Thomas. Mr. George F. Potter made all arrangements and conducted the funeral He leaves a widow to mourn his loss to whom her many friends extend sympathy in her bereavement.
