About two weeks previous to his death Mr. White became seriously ill and medical aid was immediately called. His condition not improving any Mr. White was removed to the Civic hospital in Ottawa on Sunday, February 11th, but the constitution which was greatly weakened could not respond to treatment. Although he suffered great pain, Mr. White never complained and bore his illness with patience and fortitude. Up until his last sickness he was very smart and active and retained the use of all his faculties until the end. Although never holding any public office to the town, yet he was always keenly interested in the welfare of the community in which he resided so long. He was a man possessed of many sterling qualities and was honest and upright in all his dealings.

Leaving Picton in 1897 they came to Carleton Place where deceased has since resided. For many years Mr. White conducted a tinsmithing and plumbing business on Bridge street in which he continued until about ten years ago when he retired from active work and since then he has lived quietly enjoying the pleasures of life with the different members of his family with whom he would occasionally visit.
