The public tree of "Reuben White" . . . . .

https://www.ancestry.co.uk/family-tree/person/tree/164251287/person/172137696360/facts
includes the name of a "living" daughter.

Would she know where her father is buried?

It is quite possible that he was cremated. 

There may be a mention in a newspaper but not many London papers are online but could be available at the British Library in London.  Your profile does not say where in the world you are located so this may be a silly idea.
