The Lowell Ledger, June 15, 1916


George F. White was born in Dumfries, Canada, July 17, 1836, and passed from 
this life June 9, 1916, at his home in Lowell.  At the age of ten years he 
came to Michigan with his parents, Locating on a farm near what is known as 
White’s Bridge, deriving its name from the fact that his father, Rev. Levi T. 
White, with the aid of his older sons, constructed a crude bridge across Flat 
river in Keene township, Ionia county.

In October 1862 he was united in marriage to Adeline G. Barto.  To this union 
were born three girls and one boy.  At 6 years of age the little boy passed 
away and the oldest daughter, Mrs. Donovan, was taken away in her 29th year.

Since manhood Mr. White has lived in Kent county with the exception of two 
years spent in California.

Those left to mourn their loss are the widow, two daughters, Mrs. W. B. Brown 
of Los Angeles, California, and Mrs. Newton Coons, one granddaughter, Miss 
Neva M. Coons, both of this village, one sister, Mrs. R. C. Wiggins of Eureka, 
Kansas, and several nieces and nephews, besides a host of friends who will 
miss his smiling face.

Mr. White was ever of a sunny disposition, a kind and loving husband and 
father, and always pleasant in his home.
