Hello Sandra,
There are at least 3 families with John White married to a Catherine in 1880 in Pennsylvania. Having said that, I think you have zeroed in on the correct family because it has a James in it. Funnily enough, although you have found the correct family in 1880, with Thomas F. as the oldest son, the link provided leads to another family with Edward as the oldest son in Cherry Township, Sullivan Co. There is confusion in online trees between these two families.

Thank you very much for finding the deaths of Katherine Hennessy and her husband Michael, exactly as reported for Katherine. I am confused by your reply at 19:22 wondering if William Smith, informant, is a brother to John White. I tried to quote the reply but I guess I did it wrong. Am I understanding things wrong?
Thank you RJ137 very much for Katherine's obit which verifies her children and siblings.
Today, I called the Forest Home Cemetery at Forest Park, Illinois to see who is buried with Jennie E. White, death 1951 as per findagrave, to see first of all who she is buried with, and if they have further info on her exact date of death, and any other info. James B. White who died 1938 is buried in that cemetery as per his death record but he is not listed in that cemetery on findagrave. They are to call me back this afternoon in that regard. I wanted to see if she might be the same person as Lily Ethel nee Averell who married James B. White in 1923.
Thanks for all the other info you have provided Sandra. You are a whiz.
Peggy
