Had Lived in Tama County Nearly Half a Century—Wife and 5 Children Left to Mourn His Demise.
Lacking but a few days of reaching his eightieth birthday, Isaac White closed the book of life Monday last and went to a better world. His illness was of long duration, extending over many months, during which he was a victim of heart disease and other troubles incident to it. Death was expected any day for several weeks past, but he had lived a gentle, temperate life and was able to withstand disease as few of his age. Mr. White has been a quiet, familiar figure in Traer for twenty-six years. He was born in Carroll county, Ohio, November 21, 1832 where he lived until 1849, when he came to Iowa with his parents and eleven brothers and sisters, locating in Benton county. They came to Muscatine by boat, thence by wagon to the present site of Shellsburg.
In 1856, Mr. White was married to Nancy E. Meskimen, who with five children, survives, also sixteen grandchildren, and eight great-grandchildren. His death is the first break in home ties. Six years after marriage the couple came to Tama county, locating on a farm in Geneseo township. In 1886 the family came to Traer to live and have been here since. In 1908 the aged couple celebrated their golden wedding, at which time the family were all present, together with three guests of the happy event of half a century before.
Mr. White was a devout Chris¬tian. He united with the M. E. church at old Buckingham in 1869 and continued a member and supporter until his death. He was the soul of honor, a man esteemed by every¬ body. The children are Mrs. Henry Newell, of Plymouth county, Mrs. T hos. Dunlavey, Waterloo; James, employed by a machine company; Mrs. Thomas Malcom, of Traer; Mrs. James Laughlin, Appleton, W is., all of whom were here at the funeral, which was held Wednesday. Services were conducted by Rev. Hunt at the M. E. church. The body lies in Buckingham cemetery.
