He was educated in the common schools, at Westminster College and at Allegheny College, Meadville, PA. He enlisted in Company I, Tenth Pennsylvania Reserves, in April, 1861, was mustered into service in June, and served a short time. Returning from the war he resumed teaching, taught at Harlansburg, Lawrence County, one year, and then served as principal of the Union schools at Mercer for two years. In 1865 he went to St. Louis, where he engaged in the real estate business for two years, 1865-66. Returning to Mercer early in 1867 he engaged in starting the Soldiers’ Orphan School, putting $70,000 into the institution. This he sold in 1874 to S. F. Thompson, J. I. Gordon, G. W. Wright and R. R. Wright. He read law with the late Judge McDermitt, and was admitted to the bar in February, 1870. From 1870 to 1875 he practiced with E. W. Jackson, later of Harrisburg, under the firm name of White & Jackson. From 1877 to 1879 or 1880 he was associated with B. Magoffin. Thereafter he practiced by himself. He was a member of the A. Y.
