JOHN M. WHITE (deceased), was born in the State of New York in 1810; when 2 
years of age, his parents died, and he was then adopted into the family of his 
uncle where he learned the wagon-maker's trade; at the age of 21, he went to 
Montreal, where he engaged in the manufacture of wagons for a term of years, 
when his shop was burned; he then removed to Matilda, now Iroquois, Canada, 
and followed the same business, at which place in 1848, he was married to 
Sarah A. Service, daughter of John and Hannah Service, born in Canada in 1828; 
in 1853, they came to La Crosse Co., and were among the early settlers of 
Bostwick Valley, where Mr. White was highly esteemed as a good neighbor and an 
honest man; a painful illness of the heart of three years' duration, 
culminated in his death Jan. 3, 1880. He left a wife and five children - 
Jennie (nee Micham), born March 3, 1851; Alice A., June 24, 1853; Emma, Sept. 
6, 1855; Elgin G., March 3, 1858, and Charles F., July 15, 1862. Mr. White was 
a member of the Baptist Church, and a Republican in politics. Mrs. White now 
lives on the estate of 80 acres, Secs. 20 and 21; P. O. Barre Mills.
