Richard’s obituary is found on page 10 of the Evening Telegram of Thursday 13 September 1917:
RICHARD WHITE
There passed peacefully away at “Afton,” Old Placentia Road, yesterday morning a well known and highly respected citizen in the person of Mr. Richard White, Inspector of Light Houses, who had for the past quarter of a century been head of that department. Mr. White was the son of the late Capt. Edward White, the famous seal-killer, and a brother of the late Edward White, Sr., and of William White, of the South Side; one sister was married to the late Rev. A. W. Turner, and another to the late Rev. Dr. Dove. Three sons, Richard at Nain; Charles, on the West Coast; and George, at Grand Falls; and two daughters, Mrs. Geo. Storey and Miss Nellie at home, are left to mourn. The late Richard White was a keen sportsman and through his efforts did much to preserve our inland game and fisheries, which, had it not been for him and a few other gentlemen, undoubtedly would have been greatly reduced. He was a member of George St. Methodist Church choir for many years, where his splendid voice added greatly in the devotional exercises. To the sorrowing family the Telegram offers deep sympathy. The funeral will be held to-morrow afternoon at 3 o’clock from his late residence.
