1)1 IN WHITE, whose valuable farm of 2- j. acres of finely improved land, all in one body, is situated in section 1, Coitsville township, was born October u, 1819, in County Monaghan, Ireand is a son of Hugh and Rosanna (Braden) White.

Hugh White was reared in Ireland and for a number of years worked in a linen factory in his native land. The wages were meager and there was little chance at that time for factory workers to advance their interests. These facts induced him to cross the ocean to try to better his fortunes in a land where there were wider opportunities. Leaving his wife and two children in Ireland, when his son John was five years old, he located first in Massachusetts, where he hoped to find employment in one of the great factories. He remained there but a short time, however, going thence to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where he secured employment in the construction of the Fairmount dam, on the Schuylkill River, but the contractor who had the work in charge, proved to be unreliable and left the neighborhood without paying the lalwrers. This action on the part of his employer left Mr. White almost penniless, and in this etnergency he turned to peddling, starting out with two baskets filled with small notions, and walking many miles in disposing of them. He saw that money was to Ik: made in the business and as soon as his earnings permitted, he bought a horse and wagon and started out through the country, making long trips, crossing the mountains to Pittsburg and taking a different route kick. He soon had established a line of trade, housewives along the route welcoming his small wares and finding the I genial and obliging salesman honest in the representation of his goods. He now sent for his family, from whom he had been parted for seven years, and they joined him at Philadelphia, where they lived for seven more years. Mr. White had accumulated enough by this time to indulge in the hoj>e of buying a farm and shortly after purchased 30 acres of wild land near Middlesex, Mercer County, Pennsylvania, for which he paid $10 per acre. He hired a man to clear this land while he continued his peddling route, which he continued to operate until 1844, when he purchased 100 acres of his son's present farm, which was then a part of Trumbull County. Ohio. Here he engaged in farming during the rest of his active life. He died in i8-_», and was survived by his wife until 1881. her death occurring when she was 97 years old. They had two children, Mary, who married Thomas Mayers, and John.

John W hite was 12 years old when the family was reunited at Philadelphia and Improved of the greatest assistance to his lather when the latter came to the farm in Ohio. He has continued to reside on this farm, making additions to it and carrying out constant improvements. During the many years of his life devoted to farming he has made a specialty of raising sheep. In 1880, he built the present handsome family home, and his judgment was wisely exercised in the construction of the other farm buildings and improvements, which add so largely to the value of ltis property.

In young manhood. Mr. White married Kliza Dickson, who died in 18K5. A native of Ireland, she accompanied her parents to America in girlhood, and was reared at Lowcllville. Mahoning County. There were live children lx>m to Mr. and Mrs. White, namely: Hugh |., who died unmarried, aged 30 years: Go rge D.. who is associated with his brother, John 15.. in o|>erating the home farm, and who married Rebecca Sturm, has two children.
