White Cemetery, Morgan TownshipIndex of White Cemetery burials . . . .
The White Cemetery is located at 82 East and 150 South, approximately 7/8ths of
mile east of Smoke Road. The cemetery is situated on the south side of 150 South
a short distance east of 75 East (southeast corner of the southeast corner of
the northeast corner of Section 12). The cemetery is somewhat difficult to view
from 150 South since it is located on a hill and surrounded by a fence behind a
residence.
According to cemetery records maintained by the Porter County Public Library,
the 1876 plat map shows a church in southeast quarter of Section 12, as well as
a meeting house. The identified church was referred to as White's Methodist
Faith Church.
Some of the burials listed below were enumerated by Mrs. Josephus Blachly in
February 1961, based on tombstones that could be located in the cemetery. Other
burials were determined from information provided in published obituaries and
death notices.

URBAHNS, Hans
Birth:
Death: February 1877
Obituary: Mr. Hans Urbahns, farmer in the White Settlement a few miles south of
here, and the father of John Urbahns, merchant of this place, died at his
residence on Monday of last week in his 72d year of age. He was buried in the
cemetery of that neighborhood on Wednesday following, the Rev. Lange, Lutheran
minister of this place, conducting the services. The deceased had suffered much
the year past with grief for the sickness and death of his wife which occurred
Feb. 1876, and had lately also been much troubled on account of pecuniary
embarrassment, he being somewhat involved in debt as surety. These troubles on
his brain are said to have hastened his death. He sold his farm some weeks ago
-- the upland, with good improvements at $40 per ace, and the marsh at $20,
which his friends thought very low, and possibly this added to his worrying. His
children fortunately were harmonious and settled the estate at once without the
intervention of a court, which by the ordinary course would have cost no small
share of a good estate.
