G. H. White, a resident and farmer of the Sixth District of Lauderdale County,
was born August 27, 1847, in Virginia; his parents were also natives of that
State. Our subject was the oldest of seven children born to William S. and
Laurenia (Goldsen) White. The names of the children were George H., Mary E.
(who died in 1865), Annie M. (the wife of W. B. Sapp), Mattie L. (wife of J.
B. Campbell), Callie V. (wife of C. C. Anderson), William H., Andrew B. and
Jack F. Our subject, with his parents, moved to Georgia from Virginia in
1863, and to Lauderdale County, Tenn., in 1871, and since then has been one of
the successful farmers of the county. Mr. White is a valuable citizen, and
has acquired his property since the war by his own labor and frugality.
Socially he stands well, and is an active member of the Missionary Baptist
Church, and is a true Democrat. He is a generous man, and contributes
liberally to all charitable and laudable enterprises.
