General Notes: Husband - Harry White


He graduated from the public schools of Jacksonville and prepared for college at Conway Hall, graduating in 1905. He then attended Dickinson College at Carlisle for two years but, in 1907, when his father died, he took over his father's farm and his father's coal mine. This mine, the Scotch Hill Coal Company, Mr. White owned and operated until 1929. That year he was elected tax collector of North Huntington Township, having the proud distinction of being the first Democrat elected to the office in twenty-two years. In 1933 he was reelected and he served through 1935. That year he was elected Westmoreland County Commissioner and made chairman of the board. Although he continued to operate the White homestead farm, he had many other interests; among them being the presidency of the Sinking Fund Commission, the presidency of the Salary Board and the vice-presidency of the Federal Building and Loan Association of Irwin. He was a member of the Long Run Presbyterian Church, his father's old church. Mr. White was an active member of a number of societies and clubs. Among them were: Jennett Lodge, No. 2353, Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, the Irwin Lodge of the Royal Order of Moose, the Veterans Home Association of Greensburg, the American British Association of Arnold, the Possum Hollow Gun Club of Lycippus, the State Association of County Commissions, the Greensburg Motor Club, the William Penn Beneficial Association, the East Huntington Township Democratic Association, the Trafford Sportsmen's Association, the Citizens Club of Youngstown, the Pennsylvania Tax Collectors Association, the Dutch Run Hunting Club of Clinton, and the White Mountain Hunting Club of Union County.
