Benjamin White, 89, one of Hubbardston's oldest residents and an Ionia 
county pioneer, died at the home of his son William White, in the village

management of his sons meat market until the week of his death.

at the age of five years, by his parents. The family later moved to   
Belding, where he resided until seven years ago.

Mr. White was the oldest in a family of four children, all of whom have 
preceded him in death. He is survived by his son, William, three 
grandchildren, one great granddaughter, two nephews and four nieces.
