On Sunday he was seized by paralysis from the effects of which he did not recover, passing away on Thursday morning just before noon.

On February 28th, 1871 (sic) he was married to Fannie Grey and together they farmed at Redwing for twenty-four years. Thirty-four years ago they moved into Collingwood where they have since resided.
     Mr. White was always a kindly and loveable character and highly esteemed by a wide circle of friends. He did not take part in public life bust was a quiet disposition. He was a true Christian and a faithful and consistent member of Trinity United Church, the services of which he regularly attended, occupying as usual his seat on the Sunday proceeding his illness.
