NOTATIONS
 
Charles "Charlie" G. White was both a teacher and a
principal at the school named in his behalf.  His age varied
from federal census to census and from the birth year on his
grave marker.  It would have been more likely that his birth
year was 1866, as given on his death certificate.   

Anne E. B. "Annie" White was his second wife whom he married
circa 1901. She too taught at the school.
