Dr. G. N. White.  In briefly sketching the life of this gentleman, it is but just 
to say that he is one of the eminent practitioners of the county, and has won the 
confidence of all with whom he has come in contact.  In 1850 his birth occurred, 
in Gasconade County, Mo., and he was there reared to manhood, on a farm, receiving 
his education in the common, supplemented by an attendance at the graded, schools.  
At the age of eighteen years he became a teacher, and was alternately engaged in 
this occupation and going to school until he secured a position in the graded school 
in Urbana.  He was for a number of years one of the popular local educators of Dallas 
and neighboring counties, and also won an enviable reputation as a teacher in 
Montgomery County, Kan., to which place he went in 1872, remaining one year.  He read 
medicine under Dr. L. Coon, and for two years practiced that profession in Arkansas, 
and then (in 1881) entered the Eclectic Medical Institute at Cincinnati, Ohio, from 
which he graduated with the degree of M. D., in 1884.  He then returned to Missouri, 
and, after practicing for some time in Eldon and Wheatland, he located in Cross Timbers, 
in November, 1887.  He has built up a large practice, and, in connection with his 
profession, is interested in a drug store.  He owns property in Wheatland.  He is a 
Prohibitionist and a member of the Christian Church.  Miss Maggie Coon became his 
wife in 1874.  She was born in Dallas County, Mo., in 1853, and she and Dr. White 
are the parents of three children: Fred C., Curtis R., and Grace.
