Obituary, Baltimore Sun, April 26, 1915: "Sister of The Late Senator Was In Her 89th Year. Miss Cornelia E. White, youngest sister of the late Governor and United States Senator William Pinkney Whyte, died at 2:30 o'clock yesterday morning at her home, 2202 Oak street. She was in her eighty-ninth year and for some time had been in ill health. Miss White was born in Baltimore and spent her whole life here. Being of a quiet disposition, she rarely came into prominence either during or after the career of her distinguished brother, though she lived with him for a number of years at his home on Chase street. She was a devout Presbyterian and was a member of the Franklin Street Presbyterian Church. Miss White came also of a distinquished family. Her father was the late Joseph White, and her grandfather, the late Dr. John Campbell White. He was an Irish patriot, who opposed the union of his country with England and was one of the United Irishmen of 1798. Refusing to be reconciled to the loss of his country's liberty he came to the United States and settled in Baltimore in the early part of the nineteenth century. Miss White's mother was a daughter of William Pinkney, one of the leading orators and lawyers of the nation in his day. He possessed the full confidence of Washington, Jefferson, Madison and Monroe. Miss White was the last of her immediate family. She is survived by a niece, Mrs. Alan Cole, and two nephews, Clymer Whyte and Joseph Whyte, sons of the late Senator. William Pinkney Whyte, Jr., Charles Gilmor Whyte and John Campbell White are her grand-nephews."
