“Carl White in Violent Fit of
Insanity Kills Wife and Two Children,” from the Oct. 30, 1917, issue of the Monroe
Journal.
Taylorsville, Oct. 27—Carl White, aged about 33 years,
becoming violently demented today, shot and killed his wife and two small
children at his home eight miles from here. Following the triple tragedy White
walked down the road some distance from his home and, meeting a neighbor, told
what he had done and asked to be killed. White had a struggle with the neighbor
but was overpowered and lodged in jail here.
L.C. White of Statesville and Arthur White, a banker of
Stoney Point, brothers of Carl White, were at a spring near the house and heard
the gun shots. They hurried to the house to find the woman and children slain.
Three older children in the family escaped injury. The Whites are prominent in
this section.
