bullet  General Notes

HOMER WHITE was born 20 May 1851 in Warsaw, Kosciusko County, Indiana, USA.  He was the first son of Ozias Preston White with his second wife, Julia Ann Calkins.  On 28 September 1876 Homer married his wife, Nancy Anna Powell, daughter of Andrew Powell and Mary Jane Tetrick.  Four children were born to them — Della Alice White (who married John Melvin Powell), Laura Dale White (who married Shirley Everett Parker), Ira Willis White (who married Vesta Alma Parker, but then died young in the 1918 Flu), and Clarence Austin White (who married Sarah Marguerite Withee).

The Homer White family worked their way west on the railroad between 1879 and 1885, probably on the Canadian Pacific Line which was completed in 1885.  The first two daughters were born in Iowa, but the sons were both born in Oregon. 

They had a homestead up on Juniper Flat, farming in the Wapinitia area of Wasco County, Oregon.  Homer died on 11 September 1899 of cancer of the nose and throat.  He was buried in Kelly Cemetery on the 13th of September. 

Della had married a few years before Homer's death, and she stayed in Wasco County, Oregon.  But sometime after 1905 (probably around 1908), Homer's widow Nancy, their daughter Laura and her family, and their son Clarence moved down to California and settled there.  Nancy died in 1917.  Ira stayed in Oregon for a time, but went up to Vancouver, Washington to work in the shipyards, and it was there he died of influenza in 1918.
