From: Oakland Tribune, 20 October 1918, Page 31, Column 4

JAMES WHITE DIES.

The rather sudden death of James L. White, 32 years old, assistant general manager of the Cole Motor Car Company, a victim of Spanish influenza, which occurred at his Indianapolis home, Thursday morning, is reported in a letter received here by the California Motor Sales Company.

Mr. White had been associated with the Cole organization for many years, coming to the company from the Northway Motor and Manufacturing Company of Detroit, when the local automobile concern was in its infancy.
