Oct. 1886 in CA., was attending school and living in Bradley, Monterey, CA. with his 45 yr. old father, Edward White, a farmer, b. Sep. 1855 in OH. 38 yr. old mother, Anna White, b. May 1862 in KY. 15 yr. old sister, Georgia White, attending school, b. Mar. 1885 in CA. 10 yr. old sister, Winifred White, attending school, b. Jan. 1890 in CA. 7 yr. old sister, Edith White, b. Jan. 1893 in CA. Edward's father was b. in OH. and his mother in NY. Anna's parents were both b. in KY. Edward and Anna had been marr. for 14 years. Anna was the mother of 4 children, all still alive by this census. On Apr. 20, 1918, 31 yr. old Edward White and 28 yr. old Jemema Ebeth Easton were married in Pierce county, WA. He was a tall and very handsome farmer and teacher. They first knew each other when they were children attending the grammar school in Bradley. Then she moved to Salinas. They got together again and were married just before he went overseas to serve in World War I. He was discharged in October of 1919 and that is when their married life became more cohesive. Their only child, Horace Robert (later legally changed to Robert Edward), was born March 15, 1919. Both Edward and Ebeth held teaching positions, but sometimes in different towns. Because of this, they often lived separately. One very real source of unhappiness for them revolved around Ebeth's relationship with her mother-in-law. Edward's mother was quite jealous of Ebeth (says one source) and there was constant, ugly friction between the two women. In 1921, while Ebeth was working in Gonzales and Ed was working in Stockton, Ed became very ill from a burst appendix. As he lay dying, with Ebeth's hand in one of his and his mother's in his other, he said, "This is what really killed me (holding up their two hands), not the other." Ebeth was left a widow with a young son to support. She moved to Pacific Grove and taught in the public schools there while she hired another woman, Constance Douglas, to care for Robert while she worked. According to Washington, County Marriages, for 1855-2008, on Apr. 20, 1918, William Edward White and Jemema Ebeth Easton were married in Pierce county, WA.
