1. Find a Grave (website). River View Cemetery, Portland, Multnomah County, Oregon, Mary Jane Davis White, born: 1869; died: 1958 [from record]. The birth date is significantly different from birth dates derived from US Census records and her marriage certificate (with Charles Ogden White). Although her parents are not identified in her findagrave entry, the John James Davis in the same cemetery shows, in his findagrave entry, his death certificate with his parents listed as the same as Mary’s parents on her marriage certificate (although the mother’s maiden name varies slightly. Finally, they are buried in the same Section 109, Lot 294. John is therefore believed to be Mary’s brother.
