George W. White, is a native of Gibson County, Indiana, where he was born in 1837. He is a son of Elias and Margaret (Pomeroy) White, and is of Dutch-Irish extraction. His father was born in Virginia in 1820, and in early life came to Indiana, and for a number of years lived in Gibson County. When our subject was about six years of age he came with his father to Daviess County, and settled in Veal Township. His father died in Harrison Township. At the age of sixteen years George W. began the battle of life for himself. In 1861, he enlisted in his country's service in Company A, Twenty-seventh IndianaVolunteers. He was wounded at Chancelorsville, and was a prisioner of war for four months. He served three years and was honorably discharged in 1864. In 1865, he located on his present farm of about 400 acres of good land, and in 1869, he was married to Mary E. Jones, a native of Knox County, Indiana, born in 1839. To their marriage two children were born, both of wh!
om are deceased. Mr. White is a Republican, and is, in every sense of the word, a self-made man. He and wife are members of the Baptist Church.
