Biographical history
Reginald Whyte (1895-1952), was born and raised in Brandon, Manitoba. In 1912, his father Andrew Whyte (1865-1960) moved the family to Edmonton, Alberta. Reginald served overseas with the Canadian Expeditionary Force. His two brothers, Lieutenant Cecil B. Whyte (1892-1918) and Major Wilfred Whyte (1889-1918) were killed in France. After the war Reginald Whyte began working for Dominion Motors in Edmonton. In 1922, he married Ruth Peterson (1897-1948). They had three children: Cecil John (1922-1944), Charles Andrew (1930-1994), and Patricia Mortimer (?-?). In 1925 the family moved to Red Deer, where Reginald took over the Ford dealership under the new name of Whyte Motors Ltd. He married Lillian Lindskog in 1950. Cecil B. Whyte (1892-1918) was an engineer in the Canadian Expeditionary Force, from 1915-1917, before transferring to the Royal Flying Corps in 1917. He was shot down and killed only 21 days after joining his squadron near the front
