Death date on headstone may be incorrect. 1930 Census shows his wife Ardelia a widow.

Memory of his granddaughter Evelyn Carroll White: David died of spinal meningitis. Story goes that he was with his family picking blackberries when he told his family he was feeling ill. They told him to sit down until he felt better, but he just wanted to go home. When the family got home, they found him deceased. His fever was so hot that his coal black hair had turned white.
