Biography

Thomas was born about 1906. Thomas was the child of Rudkin White and Molly Mahoney. Tom was damaged at birth from a forceps delivery. This made him a simple man who suffered from epilepsy.

He had a lovely coin collection (he only liked shiny coins). Stella would always try to get some shiny coins every day to keep in her purse and Tom would go through it when she came home for coins to add to his collection. His collection remained at Kedron after his death until it was stolen by some workmen who came to fix the roof of the house.

Tom would always turn Donna skipping rope for her. They would tie one end to the post of the steps and he would turn it for hours for Donna and her best friend Robyn Murcheson who lived next door at Kedron.

Thomas passed away on 5 January 1950 in Queensland. ^[1]
