BENJAMIN W. WHITE was born in 1829 in the township of Aurora, Portage 
County, Ohio. His people were farmers and he was _ brought up on a farm, 
receiving such educational advantages as farmers' boys did in those days. He 
came to Michigan in 1853, locating in Ellington Township, Tuscola County, where 
he bought land from the U. S. government and cleared up a farm, which he still 
owns and cultivates. In addition to farming Mr. White has lumbered also, and if 
he has been a good farmer he has been no less a successful lumberman. While he

six years and justice of the peace five years. Mr. White removed from his farm 
to Caro in November, 1832, and deals in logs besides being a farmer. Is married
