Note 4: Burial info Goulburn Evening Penny Post (NSW : 1881 - 1940) Monday 23 October 1933 p 2 MRS. LILY McDONELL The death occurred in a Goulburn hospital this morning of Mrs. Lily Jane McDonell aged 64 years, wife of Mr. Alex McDonell, of 105 Grafton Street. The late Mrs. McDonell had been in failing health for almost three months, but had only been a patient at the hospital during the last fortnight. Born at Cootamundra, Mrs. McDonell was a daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Stephen White, of Merribindieyah Station, Bethungra. She had resided in Goulburn for the past 40 years. She is survived by five sons, Malcolm (Goulburn), Allan (Goulburn),Reginald (Goulburn), Ronald (Goulburn) and Leonard (Harden) and three daughters, Mrs. P. Hunter (Goulburn), Lily (Goulburn) and Jessie(Goulburn). Mr. Aubrey White (Burgooney) and Mr. Jack White (Richmond) are brothers, and Mesdames Large (Cootamundra), Attwood (Sydney) and Mylechrane (Sydney) are sisters. The funeral will leave 105 Grafton Street at 3 o'clock to-morrow afternoon for the Roman Catholic Cemetery, Kenmore.

Note 5: Burial info Cootamundra Herald (NSW : 1877 - 1954) Saturday 9 December 1893 p 9 Article Death of Mrs.W.Cowley. We learnt with deep sorrow on Wednesday morning of the death, of Mrs. William Cowley, at Temora, which had occurred on the preceding night. It appears to have occurred without previous warning. She had been confined, and was speaking to her nurse with satisfaction as to her condition,when she suddenly fainted. After the nurse could not get her a drink of water or anything to revive her she died. The news of her death cast a gloom over the town of Temora, as it did in Cootamundra and Bethungra. The deceased lady was the eldest daughter of Mr.and Mrs. Stephen White, of Merribindinyah, and sister to Mrs. J. Large, A. Attwood, and A. McDonell, of Cootamundra. She was 35 years of age, and leaves four children, including the one born just prior to her death, a strong healthy infant. The eldest is a daughter 14 years old, the third a son 8 years old. In spite of very short notice there was a very large funeral on Thursday, including friends and sympathisers from all parts, some even from Tumut. Her remains wore buried in the cemetery at Bethungra, and the Rev Canon Betts (Church of England), from Cootamundra, read the burial service. A great number of floral wreaths, dictated by kindly hearts and made by skillful hands to decorate the coffin, covered in the grave what was left of a much beloved wife and respected lady. We extend our warmest sympathy to Mr. Cowley and to Mr. and Mrs. White and their family. Mr. and Mrs. White publicly express their thanks for the extreme kindness and sympathy shown them in their bereavement.

Note 6: Burial info Cootamundra Herald, N.S.W.Wednesday, 1st January, 1902 Death of Mr. R. V. White. — It is known to our readers that Mr. Reginald Victor White, the youngest son of Mr. Stephen White, sen., of Merribindinyah, had been ailing for a couple of years from a spinal affection. From this cause he gradually sank and died on Saturday. He was only 18 years old, and was an athletic lad until he fell a victim to his fatal malady. His complaint was of such a nature that an operation to be successful was almost an impossibility. The funeral was held on Sunday, the remains being interred in tho church yard at Mitta Mitta, the first grave within the grounds; and there was a large gathering of the family relations, friends, and neighbours, and people from distant parts, notwithstanding the fact that bush fires were raging furiously about the country a little to the south of Mitta Mitta. Canon Studs (Church of England) conducted a solemn service and gave an impressive address in the church. We offer our kindly sympathy to Mr. and Mrs. White and their family and friends and feel sure that the public join us in doing so.

Note 7: Burial info Cootamundra Herald (NSW : 1877 - 1954) Saturday 9 March 1904 DEATH OF MRS. WHITE. Mitta Mitta, Eurongilly, Clarendon, Illabo, Bethungra, and the district around about are all in mourning for the death of their sovereign queen, Mrs. Stephen White. She was not only the wife of our grandest old man in the district, but she was looked upon as the mother of all the country round about her neighbourhood. The cause of death was paralysis. She had been taking afternoon tea with friends when she was afflicted with a sudden attack of paralysis, from which she never rallied. She was in age about the vigour of womanhood, seeing that she had been very robust and vigorous, and had attained the age of about little less than three score and ten. She was a native of the district in which she had lived all her life, hence she was beloved by all, and was all in all to every family within ten miles of her home. Churches and social functions never lacked support from Mrs. White, and helped by her good mate, Mr. Stephen White, she was a ministering angel to many a family in the district. For her funeral a large number of people congregated from all parts of the country; near and far. It was the largest that was ever seen in the country. People came from all parts to do honour to the family and the deceased. Her remains were enclosed in the cemetery at the Mitta Mitta Church, and her grave was wet with the tears of many people whom she had succoured and helped in her daily rounds of good deeds. Many will mourn her loss as the Queen of the district, an affectionate wife, a good mother, a kindly neighbour, and one of the best of friends. Cootamundra Herald (NSW : 1877 - 1954) Saturday 12 March 1904 MRS. STEPHEN WHITE, Sen. Very scanty particulars had reached us as to this esteemed lady, whose death we reported last issue. We understand that she was born on the Bland Creek, on what was one of the early pastoral properties known as Grogan, now part of the Millong station; she was a daughter of a vigorous pioneer settler (Mr. W Levett), a sister of the late Mr. W. Levett, of Mitta, of the late Mr. Joseph Levett, and the only surviving brother is Mr. Clare Levett, who has resided for a number of years in the Tumut district. Her husband, Mr. Stephen White, sen., of Merribindingal station, her sons Stephen, Joseph, John, and Aubrey, and her daughters Mrs. Hastings B. Beveridge ( Junee), Mrs. George Plunkett, Mrs. John Large (of Cootamundra) Mrs. C. Attwood (Cootamundra) Mrs. Alex. McDonnell (Goulburn) and Miss Brenda White survive her, while her son Reginald died some 18 months ago. Her daughter, Mrs. William Cowley, also predeceased her. A number of grand children, and even great grand children, also survive her. Her loss to her husband may be estimated when we say that the happy and very affectionate couple had spent a half-century together in married life, and that she was always his great helpmate in business and in household affairs. The hospitable homestead of Merribindinyah will often miss her from her accustomed place. There she had entertained the highest and the humblest a guest, and the homestead bears a well-known name throughout the country. Heavy affliction has befallen the White family during the past 10 or 15 years; but they have now sustained the greatest blow of all in the loss of their beloved maternal head. We feel sure that the sympathy of the whole community of the surrounding country will be extended to Mr. White and his family. Mention is made by the 'Southern Cross', Junee, of a kindly honour that was done Mr. and Mrs. White at one time by Lord Carrington. We well remember the incident. It was in 1889, when Lord Carrington was given a public reception here, and when Mr. White was lying at the Albion Hotel with a broken leg, and Mrs. White was his nurse. On the occasion of the Governor's leave it was mentioned to him that Mr. White regretted that he could not be present, and Lord Carrington visited Mr. White, consoled with him and his wife in the kindliest way, cheering him up by telling him of the accidents that he had met with in his time and his narrow escapes.

STEPHEN WHITE, Mr. Stephen White, grazier, of Merri- bidinyah Station, near Junee, died on Friday afternoon, from senile decay, at the age of 88 years.
