MAHLON W. WHITE farmer, P.O. Tullytown, was born in Falls 
township, Bucks county, June 19, 1829, and is a son of John 
and Sarah (Flanigan) White, natives of this county and of 
Irish and English origin.  In early life his father was a 
mason and in later life a farmer.  His family consisted of 
nine children, of whom seven grew to maturity.  Five of them 
are now living.  Mahlon W. is the third child and was reared 
on the farm, receiving a common-school education.  He chose 
farming as a business and has met with marked success in 
that branch of industry.  His farm of one hundred and eleven 
acres of land is in a high state of cultivation.  His 
success in life is largely due to his own exertions.  He was 
married in 1865 to Jennie, daughter of Hugh Sterling.  They 
have no children now living.  Both are members of the 
Methodist Episcopal church at Tullytown, of which he is a 
trustee.  Mrs. White is a teacher in the Sabbath school.  
Mr. White is a republican.
