DIED - At Pretoria, on 16th December, 1888, Donald WHITE, formerly of Queenstown, aged 53. Deeply regretted.
THE LATE MR. DONALD WHITE.
The sad intelligence reached Queenstown, a few days ago of the death of Mr. Donald WHITE in the Transvaal. When few would venture to risk a run to the Randt, Mr. WHITE proceeded thither. He saw many ups and downs, worked hard at first with little success, but ultimately got into one or two good things. The late Mr. WHITE came into the Colony in the year 1859, first settling in the Klipplaat, from whence he removed to the Upper Zwaart Kei (Black Kei), where he purchased a farm and made his home. For a few years he left here and lived in the Knysna occupying the position of emigration agent, giving satisfaction both to the emigrant and the government. When the Yeomanry was raised Mr. WHITE was elected Lieutenant of the Tarka Regiment, and took part in the operations against Morosi's Mountain. The deceased was a member of the Divisional Council of Queenstown for some years, and held other and honourable positions. He was always ready to help and assist his brother farmers, and being of a sound practical turn of mind and of a genial spirit, that advice was often sought after. Mr. WHITE married Miss FYNN, who died some years back, and leaves a son and daughter to mourn their loss. We tender our sympathy to them and the relatives and friends in their bereavement.
