Note:
1910 Census named one of their Children William White, was only on the 1910 census, as 5 months old, the census was taken 6 May 1910, Raymond, is not on the 1910, and should have been, he was born Oct 1909... how could they have had another baby in 3 months??? I believe, William is actually, Raymond White, and could possibly be Raymond's middle name, or a mistake by the census taker.
