James T. White died October 8, 1845 under circumstances that were described for the Banner of Peace and Cumberland Presbyterian Advocate, as follows:
"Died — In this place on Wednesday the 8th (1845), Mr. James T. White, a citizen of Johnson County, Arkansas.
"His death was caused by a fall from his horse, he having on that day visited our town, for the purpose of procuring some medicine, for a sick member of his family. His horse took fright at something, upon the Square and making a sudden start, threw Mr. White from the saddle, when his foot becoming entangled with the stirrup; ere it could be disengaged, he was unresisting drawn for some distance, beneath the iron plated feet of the frightened animal.
"When picked up by those present, it was ascertained that his right shoulder and arm were literally shattered to pieces, and his body most awfully mangled and bruised, and though he was sensible when taken up, it was evident that he could not long survive. Medical aid was immediately at hand; but no medical help nor friendly attentions from those present, could protect or lengthen life’s brittle thread. He died in about one hour after the fatal accident, submitting with perfect resignation to his fate.
"In his death, a large family have suffered an irreparable loss, society is deprived of a respected and useful citizen; and the Church of Christ a ruling elder, a devoted friend and an exemplary member. There is consoling evidence to believe that his departed spirit is now far happier in the world of the _____, than the most eminent Christian in this vale of tears, for his life and death gave a happy evidence of a lively faith in Christ."
