General Notes: Husband - William Graham White


He received his early education in the district schools, after which he attended Cross Creek High School and Jefferson Academy, leaving the latter institution when eighteen years of age to engage in agricultural pursuits. For eighteen years he followed farming in Smith Township, Washington County, Pennsylvania, but later he carried on his farm and stock industries on the old home place in Cross Creek Township. He paid considerable attention to Poland China hogs and to Dorset horned and Ramboulette sheep.
In political matters Mr. White was an independent Republican. He served as auditor of Cross Creek Township, and in 1901 was elected assessor, from which office he resigned after serving one term. He was a member of the fraternal order of Odd Fellows. The family was connected with the Cross Creek Presbyterian Church.
