Commemorative Biographical Record of Kent County, Ontario, J.H. Beers & Co., Toronto, 1904, pg. 835-836:
Yates White (deceased) was long a prominent farmer and much respected citizen of the County of Kent, located in Howard, on Lot 82, Talbot Street north. He was born in Toronto in 1838, a son of Thomas and Margaret (Purchase) White, both of whom were born in England, and both died in County Kent, Ont. Yates White was the fourth son in the family, of which there is but one survivor, Thomas White, of Howard.
Yates White was but a boy when his parents removed to Howard, where they were among the earliest pioneers. There he grew to maturity, and in April, 1861, he married Miss Amelia Hewitt, daughter of George and Elizabeth (Gordon) Hewitt, the former of whom was born in England, and the latter on the bank of the river Thames, where her father, John Gordon, settled as early as 1810; the latter was a soldier in the war of 1812.
...
After their marriage Mr. and Mrs. White settled on the Hewitt homestead, where they had the care of Mrs. White's parents until they died, and they continued to live there until 1892, when they moved to the south side of the farm, formerly owned by Thomas White, brother of Yates. Mr. White's death occurred at the homestead in March 1893, after many useful years. His good management left the farms which he cultivated in much better condition than he found them, and his excellent methods are still followed by his son.
A family of nine children was born to Mr. and Mrs. White, as follows: Elizabeth, born in 1862, is the wife of Prof. John Newton, who resides in New Zealand; Margaret, born in 1864, is the wife of William Geddis, of Ridgetown, and has three children, Clare, Gordon and Glen; Miss Esther A., born in 1866, for a number of years was one of the county's most successful teachers, being a lady of culture and refinement, but on account of failing health was obliged to give up her profession; Sarah, born in 1868, died in young womanhood; Thomas H., born in March, 1870, became manager of the home farm after the death of his father, and is his mother's devoted companion (he is a first-class citizen, holding municipal office for several years past); John H., born in 1872, is a farmer in the County of Essex; Amelia J., born in 1874, is the wife of John W. Bailey, a butcher at Highgate, County of Kent, and has four children, Frank G., Gladys, Hewitt and Jean; Yates, born in 1877, is unmarried and a resident of Highgate; Grace, born in 1880, resides in Toronto.
Politically, Mr. White was a Conservative, and all of his sons entertain the same sentiments. He and his family were all attached to the Church of England. Fraternally, he was a member of the A.O.U.W., of Morpeth. In all these relations Mr. White displayed a Christian spirit and exercised forbearance, taking an active part when necessary, but usually pursuing the even tenor of his way.
