M. J. White
M. J. White-

M. J. White was brought to Iowa by his parents, when he was ten years of age. He was
born in Morgan County, Ohio in September 1843. The family went from there to
Muscatine by water, and drove a team from Muscatine to Marion in April, 1853. White
lived on a farm until 1888, when he moved to Mt. Vernon. In 1891 he moved to Marion,
and has lived here since that time.
The Civil War record of Mr. White includes most of the engagements of Company A,
Thirty-first Iowa Volunteers. He enlisted August 6, the same time as Richard Reiley
joined the service. Both men served together, having been discharged June 27, 1865.
Their battles included Vicksburg, the Atlanta campaign and the march to the sea with
Sherman. Mr. White did not serve at Lookout Mountain and Missionary Ridge, but his
comrade took part in both of these. Mr. White was present for the grand review at
Washington, D. C., May 24, 1865.
