The Liberty Vindicator
Friday, 29 December, 1905

         Beaumont, Texas, Dec. 25. - Information was received here
       this morning of the death of J. T. WHITE at Turtle Bayou, in
       Chambers county. Death occurred last night, and it is expected
       that the funeral will be held at Taylor's Bayou tomorrow. The
       deceased was about 70 years old and was one of the most promi-
       nent and wealthy citizens of Chambers county. He owned large
       tracts of grazing lands and thousands of head of cattle in
       Chambers and adjoining counties. He is survived by three sons
       and two daughters, namely: R. M. WHITE of Stowell, T. J. WHITE
       of Turtle Bayou, FOREST WHITE of White's Ranch, MRS. MANDY
       SMITH of Waco, and MRS. JOSEPHINE McNULTY, wife of B. F. Mc-
       NULTY, formerly superintendent of the insane asylum at Austin.
       
         CAPTAIN WHITE was well known and highly respected by the
       people of Liberty county. The writer had known him for many
       years. He was a genial, kind-hearted, charitable gentleman
       - honorable in his dealings - ever acting "upon the square"
       with his fellow man. He was a Mason, for many years a member
       of Liberty Lodge, No. 48, and it being his request that he
       be buried by his parent lodge (with which he had always
       affiliated) R. C. Eubank, W. M.  accompanied by a number of
       members of this lodge, left for Chambers county Tuesday after-
       noon about 5 o'clock to perform the last sad duty to their
       departed brother.
