Amos H. White

from the Utica Daily Journal

       Col. Amos H. White.
 Col. Amos H. White died suddenly at
his home in Detroit Wednesday, of heart
disease. He leaves a widow and a son.
The colonel was a valued member of De-
troit Commandery, of the Loyal Legion
and of Detroit Post, No. 244. He was
universally esteemed for his many fine
traits of character, and not a man in
Grand Army circles was his enemy. Of
late years he had been practically an
invalid, chiefly on account of wounds re-
ceived in the War of the Rebellion. He
was never absent from roll call in De-
troit post rooms during the daytime, but
seldom attended the regular meetings in
the evening. Funeral services were held
at his late home yesterday at 1 o'clock,
and the remains escorted to the depot
by delegations from the Loyal and De-
troit Post. Interment will be at Canajo-
harie.
 Amos Hall White was born at Ames,
Montgomery county, June 27, 1837. He
was mustered as first lieutenant of Com-
pany D, Fifth New York Cavalry, Sep-
tember 31, 1861; promoted to captain De-
cember 9, 1861; made major January 30,
1863; promoted to lieutenant colonel Sep-
tember 18, 1864; and given a colonelcy
November 14, 1864. He was mustered out
with his regiment at the close of the war
July 19, 1865, at Hart Island, New York
harbor. He served on the staff of Gen.
Sheridan in the latter part of 1864 in the
Shenandoah Valley.
