The name of White is one distinguished in the public life of the country and Gerald V. White was elected to the Federal House of Commons at a by-election, in October, 1906, for the Constituency of North Renfrew, which had been rendered vacant by the death of his father, the Hon. Peter White, being subsequently re-elected at the General Elections of 1908 and 1911. Mr. White married Mary Elizabeth, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. D. L. Trites, of New Brunswick, and has two daughters and one son, Muriel Elizabeth, Mary Jeannette and Gerald Peter. He is a Presbyterian in religion and a Conservative in politics. Among the Clubs of which he is a member are the Rideau Club, the Hunt Club and the Golf Club, all of Ottawa.
