	Hon. JOHN C. WHITE is a native of Florida, has practiced law for nearly
forty years, and has rendered a conspicuous service both in his profession and
in public affairs in Hillsborough County.
	Judge White was born in Madison County, Florida, near Pinetter,
December 3, 1845, son of STEPHEN R. and SARAH G. (HENDERSON) WHITE, his father
a native of Georgetown, South Carolina, and his mother of Georgia. STEPHEN
WHITE was a pioneer in Madison County, Florida, locating there in 1835. He
subsequently enrolled as a soldier in the war between the states and was killed
in the battle of Sharpsburg in 1862.
	JOHN C. WHITE, an only child of his parents, was reared in Madison and 
Taylor counties, and attended the public school of that time. His real 
education was largely the consequence of his private efforts and studies. After 
the war he prepared for the law, and was admitted to the bar at Tampa in 1885. 
For many years he has had an extensive general practice, both in the State and 
Federal courts. He served four years as justice of the peace, and was judge of 
the County Court of Hillsborough County from 1917 to 1921, and since retiring 
from office has again resumed private practice. Judge White has lived in 
Florida for three quarters of a century, and the only interruption to his 
continuous residence in the state was three years spent in Texas. During the 
Civil war he was in the Confederate Army from January, 1864, to May 17, 1865. 
Judge White has attained the highest degrees in Masonry, the thirty-third de
degree, honorary, is a member of the Shrine, and at all times has been active
in the social and political life of his section of the state. He is a democrat.
	January 31, 1914, he married EMMA F. CRAFT, who was born March 1, 1895.
