Note 1: 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.

Note 2: Burial info Daily Advertiser (Wagga Wagga) 6 Feb 1911 Obituary. MR. 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. With this death is severed the last link between the present day and the original set- tlers on the Murrumtyidgee. Mr. White, about 60 years ago. married a Miss Lovatt and about a dozen years ago was married a second time to Miss McDonald, who still survives him. He also leaves a number of sons and daughters, included amongst whom are Mrs. H. B. Beveridge, of Junee, and Mrs. J. D. McKinnon, of Old Junee. Deceased was a keen sportsman and at one time kept a number of race horses. Merribidinyah Station was taken up by the deceased's father, also named Stephen, in 1842 or 1843 and the place has been occupied by the family up to the present time, though most of the land has of late been converted into freehold. The interment of Mr. White took place yesterday at Mitta.

Note 3: Burial info Cootamundra Herald, N.S.W. Friday, 20th March, 1931, page 3. Article. MR. STEPHEN EDWARD WHITE. Quite a gloom was cast over the town and district when word was passed around that Mr. Steve White, of "Dinyah," Cootamundra, died. He underwent a serious operation on Monday, at "Clarmore,'' Darlinghurst, and came out of it well, but subsequently a haemorrhase set in. Relatives and friends were called to the bedside. Telephone inquiries made Cootamundra friends feel very uneasy about the chances of recovery. Then, following an encouraging bulletin as to a slight improvement, came word of a relapse; and at 9.30 on Wednesday night the end came. A more popular man than "good old Steve White" this district has never known; and it is hard to realise that we shall see him no more; motoring into town or, chatting in his delightful way with friends in the street, in the stock agents' offices, at the club, or in the home. Deceased was born 66 years ago, at 'Merribindinyah,' a few miles out from Bethungra. He was the eldest son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Steve White, pioneers of that property; and the younger Steve afterwards acquired the place. He married Miss Nellie Hubbard, then a resident of Gundagai, who survives him. There was no family, but on the death of his brother Joe; the latter's three daughters, Misses Harrie, Laurie, and Bay lived with Mr. and Mrs. Steve. They are now respectively, Mrs. Alan Scott, Cootamundra; Mrs. Eric Smith, Bethungra; and Mrs. Geof. Hooper, Ironbong — all, in turn, on the land. Selling 'Merribindinyah, deceased made a tour of the world, with Mrs. White, and two of the girls, and, on returning tried to adopt the seaside life, living at Kirribilli; . but there was ever the urge to go back on the land, so he returned to the old district, bought from the late Mr. R. Withycombe, 'O.K' four miles, out from Cootamundra, on the Kilrush road, and re-named it, 'Bindinyah.' He sold this property to Dr. Finley, of Temora, and next bought, only 13 months ago, 'Rose Farm' 3 miles on the opposite side of Cootamundra, from the estate of the late Mr. Skamp, land originally selected by the late founder of the Corby family in this distrlct. Mr. White turned 'Rose Farm into 'Dinyah', had the home again re-designed and decided that the only other change he could make would be to a place to be named "Yah." However, any further future plans were cut off by the untimely end on Wednesday. It would be hard to find words to adequately pay tribute to his interesting personality and lovable disposition. Everyone liked him; everyone loved to meet him; no one ever got tired of talking to him. If a few gathered together, and 'S.W.' was there, he was the life of the party; with his droll humor, and an interesting style of expressing it. "What a kindly world it would be,'' remarked a dear old life-long friend yesterday, 'if there were a lot of Steve Whites in it!' And that in itself speaks volumes. Two inseparable mates were Messrs. Steve White and Mat. Sawyer. It was so from boyhood days, when they each lived either side of the village of Bethungra; and one of those to be at bedside at the last was Mr. Sawyer. Both very fond of the turf, they raced horses together, and were associated in the clubs. Mr. White was on the Cootamundra Turf Club for many years, always on the Picnic Race Committee, and for many years a committeeman of the S.D.R.A. He was a member of the A.J.C. and M.T.C. One to deceased's fine horses, Aldrie, was lent to the Prince whilst in Sydney. Mr. and Mrs. Steve White, sen., were buried in the Anglican cemetery at Mltta, alongside the church of which the younger Steve was a churchwarden for 26 years. The Whites practically built that church. A brother, Joe and also Joe's son Bob, are buried there; also his brother, Reg. and his sister Annie (Mrs. Cowley). And that is where the remains of the subject of our notice were laid to rest this morning. The body had been brought from Sydney, taken to the Anglican church, Bethungra, and the funeral left there for Mittia at 11 this morning. From Cootamundra alone thirty wreaths were sent out. Despite inches of rain, the attendance at the funeral was very large, indeed— a great manifestation of appreciation of a departed friend, and token of sympathy with the grief stricken ones. Fifty cars arrived at the cemetery. Rev. H. Staples, rector of Junee officiated. Two brothers survive- Mr. Jack White, of 'Grose Vale;'' Richmond, and Mr. Aub. White, Goulburn, whilst sisters are Mrs. Charles Atwood, Sydney; Mrs. Hast Beveridge, Sydney; Mrs. Alec. McDonald, Goulburn; . Mrs. J. Large, Cootamundra; and Mrs. Malacharane, Sydney. One sister, Mrs. Plunkett, died in Queensland. To the widow and other relatives the 'Herald' extends the deep sympathy of a host of friends in the Cootamundra district.
