WHITEHOUSE 1903 Breckinridge County KyArchives Obituaries Breckinridge News, Cloverport, Ky, Wednesday, June 1, 1904 OBITUARY Page 3, Column 1 FUNERAL AT MATTINGLY, KY (BRECKINRIDGE COUNTY) The remains of James W. WHITEHOUSE, the son of Mrs. Rosa M. WHITEHOUSE, of this city (Cloverport), arrived here Thursday morning for burial. The body was sent to New York on a transport from the Philippines where Mr. WHITEHOUSE died nearly a year ago while serving as a Private in the Regular Army. The body had to be taken about 500 miles by land before it could be placed aboard ship. This and numerous delays in transmission were the cause for the late arrival in this country. On Friday afternoon, May 27, 1904, the interment was at St. Mary's burying ground at Mattingly, Ky.
