   M. V. B. WHITE farmer, P.O. Hulmeville, was born in 
Middletown June 20, 1836, and is a son of Malachi and 
Letitia White, natives of Bucks county.  His father followed 
farming in Middletown township all his life.  He was of 
English descent, and died in 1868, aged 80 years.  He had 
twelve children, of whom five grew to maturity.  Mr. White's 
ancestors were among the earliest English settlers of Bucks

his time. He was a democrat politically and served one term 
as county commissioner.  His son, M. V. B., made farming his 
business, and at the present time is the owner of a 
well-improved farm in Middletown township, where he resides. 
 In 1865 he married Mary E., daughter of Euclydus and 
Elizabeth (Brown) Stackhouse.  Her parents were among the 
earliest English settlers of Pennsylvania.  Mr. White is a
