General Notes: Husband - Joseph Semple White

---

He remained at home, assisting his brother James in the grist-mill and iron mills until his brother's death. He then was with his brother-in-law in the postoffice until he was twenty years of age, when he, in company with Mr. Farley, became interested for a time in a foundry at New Castle. He then carried on farming on a part of the old homestead. His next venture was with Dr. Joseph Pollock in carrying on the lumber business, and afterwards he was with Stevens, Craig & Co., in the lumber business in the manufacture of lumber, planing, sashes and doors, etc., under the firm name of Stevens, Craig & Co. When the mill burned down, Mr. White continued the lumber business for a few years and returned to farming on the old homestead. Because of its location near the borough line, he sold many building lots, but still owned an excellent farm of 100 acres, on which he had a fine residence surrounded with large and beautiful oak groves-it was one of the choicest pieces of property within the city limits, and was located at No. 312 North Jefferson Street.
He cast his first vote in a Presidential election for a Democratic nominee, then supported the Free Soilers; after the organization of the Republican party he supported it loyally until they repealed local option in Pennsylvania when he supported the Prohibition Party, and was a steadfast adherent of that party of reform. In slavery days he took an active interest in the great underground system, which was the means of rescuing many slaves from a life worse than death, and Mr. White and his good wife did all in their power to protect such unfortunates as came their way, and by every available means to assist the progress of abolitionist doctrines. His home and his money were at the service of the movement, for he thought he was on the right side.
