      _________________

      White, Wm. - Came to Wilmot in 1861, accompanied by his daughter Mrs. Kerr-Collum and her son Wm. Kerr, who returned to Ireland for this purpose after the death of Mrs. White. He took up his residence with Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Collum, where he lived until his death in 1873. He was a constant attendant at St. James' Church and his remains now repose in the cemetery, the monument to his memory being the first among the now large number there.
