Known Daughters Of John And Katherine (Estill) White

 John White (1859 – 1918) and Katherine “Katie” (Estell) White (1863 – 1923) were the parents of eleven children. There’s no known records of six of them. As for the one son and four daughters who were known, it was a challenge to discover something about them.

The crop photo was taken from the 1900 United States Federal census for Chariton County Missouri. The census taker was Mr. Henry Locke. He recorded the household of John and Katie White on June 15, 1900. Here’s the list of their four known daughters recorded on the 1900 census. The following information is some of what I’ve can say about them.

Lee Bertha White (1884 - ? )
The name “Leburter” was her second recorded name by an indexer. I discovered a little more about her as I started searching for information on John’s and Kate’s grandchildren on the 1910 and 1920 censuses. Who were the parents of Louise White and Leo Kayson / Leo White?

Louise White was the daughter of Ernest White. She passed in 1928 at the age of 17. Louise’s mother was Katie (Nichols ) White. She passed in 1911.

Leo White was also known as Leo / Leon Cason. His mother was the sister “Leburter” ~ the name that is unreadable on the 1900 census. Her name was Lee Bertha White Cason (or Lebertha.) The spelling of her first name came from her son Leon “Leo” Cason’s 1979 obituary.

Irine / Irene White (1892 – 1926 )
I’m not for sure how her first name was spelled. It’s Irene or Irine. Her name was Irine White Patterson on her 1926 death certificate which listed her parents’ names as John White and Kate Estelle.

I was searching on Find A Grave for Ernest White who died in 1950 due to an accident. And I discovered that this Ernest was buried in the same cemetery as John’ and Katie White’s granddaughter, daughter, Louise White. This was how I found Irine (White) Patterson’s memorial. This was the confirmation that I was looking for.

Irine Patterson was living at the same address of 310 Kansas in 1926. This was where Ernest White had lived or was living and where Ernest’s daughter, Louise White lived. This was how I made the connections that Ernest White was the same Ernest who passed in 1950. Clues kept adding up.

Alice White (1893 – ? )
I can’t be located anything else about Alice. The 1900 census was the only record of her. She perhaps passed after the 1900 census was taken and before the 1910. I haven’t located a death certificate on her. Perhaps. she could have had a different surname, married and or passed in another State.

Erma / Irma White (1897 – ? )
She was listed on the 1900, 1910, and 1920 Missouri censuses. I think I may have found some leads on Irma White or Erma White. The clues are connected with the place where she lived and to whom she was related too. There is an Irma White who had a nephew named Robert E. White who lived in Omaha, Nebraska. And she once lived in Excelsior Springs Missouri. Hmmm!!! My search continues.

Thanks for reading.

Part 3 ~ Blog: Were This Ernest White And This Irma White Siblings?

How did I tracked down information on the known children?
It was by searching through censuses records, old newspapers and looking for whosoever lived at the addressees where the siblings or relatives once lived. Find A Grave was a good place to search as well.

God bless you
