Home of James & Ellen White (1856-1863):

James Springer White (August 4, 1821, Palmyra, Maine - August 6, 1881, Battle 
Creek, Michigan), also known as Elder White was a co-founder of the Seventh-day 
Adventist Church and husband of Ellen G. White. White's contributions to the 
denomination were rather notable, in 1849 he started the first Sabbatarian 
Adventist periodical entitled "The Present Truth" (now the Adventist Review) in 
1855 he relocated the fledgling center of the movement to Battle Creek, 
Michigan, and in 1863 played a pivotal role in the formal organization of the 
denomination. He later played a pivotal role in the development of the 
Adventist educational structure beginning in 1874 with the formation of Battle 
Creek College (which is now Andrews University).

Ellen Gould White (Harmon) (November 26, 1827 – July 16, 1915) born to Robert 
and Eunice Harmon, was an American Christian leader whose prophetic ministry 
was instrumental in founding the Sabbatarian Adventist movement that led to the 
rise of the Seventh-day Adventist Church.

Creek, MI - Lot 320, Rt 8 & 9.
