White Jr. (1872 MN-?) and his wife Frida (Goslin) White (1874 TX-1940 NYC) lived in Kansas City MO in 1900 (Broker, merchandise) and in New Orleans LA in 1910 (Buyer, coffee house). His father, Thomas C. White Sr. (1846 England-1918 MO), and sister, Keziah (White) Ridenour (1874 MN-1940 CA) were connected with the Ridenour-Baker Wholesale Co. The last record I've found for Thomas Jr. was his arrival on the Oscar II 21 Jun 1916 from Copenhagen to New York, at which time he gave an address in New York City. On 1 Nov of the same year, Thomas's wife Frida arrived, also on the Oscar II, in New York from Copenhagen, with a passport issued 8 Aug 1916, and gave her address as 114 W. 79th Str. New York, N.Y. Thomas's father's 31 Jan 1918 obituary in the Kansas City Star says he was survived by two sons, both of whom I can identify, and neither of which is Thomas Jr. Widow Frida G. White was in NYC in 1920 and 1930, and died there in 1940. Her death notice referred to her as the "widow of the late Thomas C. White, Jr. of Kansas City" and, in addition to her death notice, the New York Times published an article about the disposition of her estate, which was largely given to metro New York charities. I have found no notice or record of Thomas Jr.'s death in New York City between 21 Jun 1916 (passenger manifest) to 30 Jan 1918 (father's death) or in the Missouri death certificates. NewspaperArchive briefly offered the Kansas City papers (long enough for me to find his father's obit), but no longer does. Any help or ideas for finding Thomas Jr.'s death information would be most appreciated. Is there an index to the KC papers that would cover that 18-month period?
