General Notes: Husband - James A. S. White

---

He was nearly all his life a riverman. He was mate of several boats on the Monongahela river, and afterward was on the locks, the later years of his life being in the employ of the U. S. Government at Lock No. 1, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
At the breaking out of the Civil War, he enlisted April 25, 1861, in Capt. Cooper's Co. G, 12th Pa., Monongahela City, for the 3 months service, and afterwards became a member of Co. D, 22nd Pa. Cavalry, one of the famous "Ringgold Battalion," in which he served for 3 years, making a service of 3 years and 3 months. He possessed a genial, happy disposition, which made him a universal favorite among his comrades. There was no gloom when "Dixie," as the boys called him, was about, but good nature and innocent fun on his part, routed the blues and homesickness. Upon his return home he entered upon a life of unselfish devotion to his parents and family, and upon the death of the former, he and his brother and sister Hannah, formed a family that was unbroken until his death. They were all, active and zealous members of the M. E. church, and true servants of their Divine Master. He was a prominent Odd Fellow, and a member of Post 3, Grand Army of the Republic, of Pittsburgh.
