Surviving him are his widow, Louise Isabel White; a daughter Dorothy Evelyn and a son, Howard, all at home; three brothers, Theodore White, Humberstone; Benjamin, White Alis, Wis, and Leslie, Toronto; and three sisters, Mrs. Ellen Miller, Welland, Mrs. George Hitchcox, Vancouver, B.C., and Mrs. Wm. Dair, Toronto.

Funeral services will be held on Tuesday afternoon at 2.30 o’clock at the late residence and interment in Fonthill cemetery. Rev. Sidney Cooper, pastor of St. Mathew’s Lutheran church will conduct the services, assisted by Rev. F.J. Helps, pastor of First Baptist church.
