It is believed here that the Mr. and Mrs. White mentioned in the dispatches from San Antonio, Tex., as having perished in the train wreck on the Southern Pacific railway, were C.W. White and his daughter-in-law, Mrs. Clarence White of St. Louis. Mr. White left here in January for North Yakima, Wash., to visit his son, Dr. Charles White, formerly of Manitowoc. After a brief stay there he went to St. Louis to see his son Clarence. A few days ago he and his daughter-in-law left for the South for a trip. Nothing definite has been heard in regard to whether the bodies have been positively identified. Mr. White of Antigo is a son of C.W. White. Mr. White was 70 years of age and a retired lawyer.
