      H. L. WHITE,
  
  [p. 913] a member of the general mercantile firm of H. L. White &
  Company, located at No. 212 Pittsburg Street, New Castle, is a
  representative and useful citizen of this community, taking a
  public-spirited interest in its welfare and exerting an influence which
  is most beneficial. It is nearly five years since Mr. White chose this
  city as his home, but he was born at Pittsburg, in 1856.
  
  In his childhood, the parents of Mr. White moved to Crawford County, but
  returned to Pittsburg seven years later, and there he had excellent
  advantages in the public schools. The family finances, however, were
  such as to preclude any more advanced opportunities and as he was
  active, energetic and ambitious, he became a wage earner even in
  boyhood. In 1890 he went to his brother, who was then conducting a store
  at Clarksville, Mercer County, and remained with him for seven years,
  having thus most excellent training in the general mercantile line.
  After leaving his brother he embarked in a grocery business on his own
  account, which he conducted successfully for seven years, at Avalon, Pa.
  In 1904 Mr. White located permanently at New Castle, buying out a
  general mercantile business already established here, and has become one
  of the leading merchants of the city.
  
  In 1880 Mr. White was married to Miss Annie V. Swartz, and they have the
  following children Jessie May, who is the wife of Sylvester James,
  residing at Bellevue, Pa.; Edith W., who is bookkeeper for a large
  business firm at New Castle, and Minnie G. and Mary V., residing at
  home. Mr. White and family belong to the United Presbyterian Church, of
  which he is a trustee. He takes no very active interest in politics, but
  on every occasion upholds established law. He is a member of the
  organization known as the Protected Home Circle.
