Married to Ethel Mae Trotter on 3-3-1915 at Belgrade, NE. From the book: Fullerton's First 100 Years" pg#'s 153/154 Harvey Ray Whited and Ethel Mae Trotter were married March 10, 1915 at the Belgrade Methodist Parsonage. Mae was born near Belgrade to Thomas Arthur and Susie (McGee) Trotter on March 5, 1894. Susie McGee was born at Oakland, Iowa in 1870 and died at Belgrade, Nebraska August 27, 1937. She was raised in Iowa. They came to Nebraska in a covered wagon and raised a family of seven, four boys and three girls. Harvey Whited was born on February 22, 1895 six miles southwest of St. Edward, Nebraska to Wllm and Lena (Rusch) Whited. Lena was Wllm's second wife and three children were born to this union: Harvey Ray Whited and Pearl (Whited) Deaman and Harry. There were two boys and one girl from the first marriage, Ben, Ralph and Grace. When Harvey was nine years old the family moved to a farm six miles northeast of Belgrade. He attended school in Boone county at District 15 and went to the Pinnacle Hill School. After they were married Harvey and Mae farmed the home place for one year. But this was sold and they moved to her mother's farm two miles northeast of Belgrade. In 1926 they bought a farm west of Fullerton for $17,600 and paid down the $5,000. The company foreclosed and resold the farm for $3,200. There were seven bad years and the resulting depression left memories of some very bad times. Fifty head of cattle brought only $750 and sixty head of hogs brought $250 with trucking and freight to be taken out of that. In 1932 corn brought ten cents a bushel. Some families ground their own corn and wheat to use for corn meal and flour. One man walked 4 1/2 miles to a store to buy groceries and potatoes. The potatoes were frozen by the time he reached home again. That year the neighborhood was snowed in for three weeks. One bill collector came to a neighbor's home and took everything he could find that could be sold. The man was down with a broken leg at the time. In 1934 and 35 Harvey acted as County Road Boss and hired local men as crews to scoop the roads clear. There were some men with frozen hands and faces. Their lunches were frozen by lunchtime but eaten anyway by men resting on snowbanks. Wages were $2.00 a day. Belgrade lost both of its banks to the Depression and Fullerton lost one. In 1937 the Whited family bought into the John Deere agency and moved from the farm to Fullerton. In 1964 Harvey sold his share of the business to his sons, Leonard and Richard. He still goes almost daily to the store. He especially enjoyed the men's card club that flourished during the sixties. About thirty-five men used an empty building on Fullerton's Main Street as a meeting place. Mae walks uptown when the weather permits, attends Social Hour club meetings and visits with her friends on the telephone. The Whiteds have two sons, Leonard and Richard, and two daughters Dorothy and Helen. Leonard Whited married Verda Peterson of Central City. Their children are Robert Whited married to Margie Berlin of Genoa, children: Shawn, Michael, Shannon, Christopher and Jennifer. Roger Whited married Sharon Lockwood. Children Rachelle, Steven, Susan and Scott. Gaylen Whited of Lincoln, Connie Whited of Lincoln. Helen Whited married Eugene Foland and now lives in Newman Grove. Their children: Linda Married Dal Draper of Norfolk. Nila married Marvin Nelson. Children: Jamie, Adam and Amanda. Dale and Pam live in Grand Island. Darrell and Sandy live in Lincoln. David lives in Fort Collins, Colorado. Richard Whited married Grace Travers. Children Belinda, Kevin and Cara at home. Dorothy Whited married Sam King. Their children Jennifer married Gary Beran and they live in Kearney; Donald, Kenneth and Bobby.
