William C. White

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

William Clarence "Willie" White (1854–1937) was secretary (a term now referred to as "director") of the Ellen G. White Estate. He was placed in charge of his mother's (Ellen G. White) estate at her death in 1915. "Willie," as his mother referred to him as, took on additional responsibility in helping his mother travel, write, and publish after his father's death in 1881. During the 1890s up until the end of her life he was especially prominent as an influential minister in the Seventh-day Adventist Church.

The definitive biography of W. C. White is a doctoral dissertation by Jerry Moon, chair of the Church History Department of the Seventh-day Adventist Theological Seminary. His dissertation was published as: W. C. White and Ellen G. White: The Relationship Between the Prophet and Her Son (Berrien Springs, MI: Andrews University Press, 1993) (publisher's page).
