Clyde Alva White was born June 14, 1890 to Matilda Hollenbeck White and Henry Clay White on a farm northeast of Holton. He passed away at his home west of Soldier on June 24, just ten days after celebrating his 85th birthday with his family.
A lifelong resident of Jackson county, Clyde was educated in the schools of Circleville and Holton. His deep love of the soil, livestock, and growing things led him to decide early that farming should be his life's work.
He was married March 27, 1918 to Ruby C. Nuzman. For the past 55 years of their 57 years together, their home has been on the farm west of Soldier.
His wife survives, along with their daughter Marjorie White, Los Angeles, California, and two sons, Keith, of the home, and Wayne, of Topeka. Other beloved survivors are his daughter-in-law Marilyn and two granddaughters, Dorinda and Cheryl, all of Topeka; one sister, Mrs. Edna Swain, Circleville; a sister-in-law, Mrs. Ernest White, Holton; and several nieces and nephews. His parents, two sisters, and three brothers preceded Clyde in death.
Though he always worked hard, Clyde loved his relatives, neighbors, friends, and community; and always found time to enjoy them and to help them whenever he could. He served on the Soldier Township Board and on both the high school and grade school boards. A strong supporter of the U nited Methodist Church, recently he was a member of the Board of Truste es. He was a longtime member of the Masonic Lodge, first in Soldier then in Circleville when the two lodges merged. At different times he held all the local offices and also served as district deputy.
Above all earthly things Clyde loved his family and his home. His loving kindness as husband, father, and grandfather will be greatly mis ed.
Memorial services in his honor were conducted by his pastor, the Rev. Ray Johnson, in the United Methodist church at Soldier Friday afternoon, June 27. Music for the service was provided by Mrs. Mary Robinson at the piano and William Coverdale soloist. Pallbearers were Louis Earnst, C. M . Geis, F.S. Kling, Wilbert Leuthold, T.W. Mohringer, and Virgil Proctor. Graveside services were conducted by Circleville Lodge No. 20, AF&AM i n the Soldier cemetery.
