AGED 81 YEARS, 9 MONTHS, 21 DAYS Husband of FRANCES C. WHITE
History of Linn County, Missouri 1882
William L White is the son of Reynolds and Catherine White, and was born in the State of Massachusetts, though his parents were both natives of New York. He was educated in the public schools, and at the age of thirteen, learned the trade of paper-making, at which he worked for seven years. Ten years of his life Mr. White spent in Wisconsin, engaged in farming. Four years of that time he served as treasurer of Pierce County in that State. He was engaged for three years in mining pursuits, two of which were spent in California and one in Colorado. When the Great War came on in 1861, Mr. White enlisted for the Union in the second Massachusetts Infantry, and served three years. He was in the battle of Winchester, both battles of Bull Run, Slaughter Mountain, Antietam, and Chancellorsville, and was severely wounded in the latter engagement. Mr. White was married in 1852 to Miss France C. Bartholomew, of Massachusetts. Nine children have been born of this union, seven of whom still survive. He moved to Linn County in 1874, where he has ever since resided and has been successfully engaged in farming, as his well improved farm amply verifies.
