Winter [The Lewis Publishing Company, Chicago and New York, 1917], Vol. II, p. 750: THOMAS A. WHITE came to St. Marys, Ohio, in September, 1892, and took charge of the St. Marys Wheel & Spoke Company. For nearly twenty-five years he has directed that important industry, which in its payroll and general output, is the largest concern of its kind in the United States. Mr. White is general manager of the plant, and vice president of the company, and has gained a very substantial position in business affairs in Auglaize County. Besides this industry, which requires nearly all of his time, and in the success of which he takes great pride, he is also president of one of the oldest institutions of its kind in the state, the Union Building & Loan Company of St. Marys. He is also a director of the St. Marys Banking & Trust Company. Though Mr. White came to St. Marys from New York City, he is a native of Wisconsin, having been born at Wonewoc in Juneau County, November 5, 1871. His parents were John W. and Catherine [Crane] White. His grandfather, Horace White, was born and reared in Erie County, New York, and in 1855 moved out to Wisconsin, in which state he spent the rest of his years as a farmer. The maternal grandfather, Thomas Crane, a native of Tipperary, Ireland, came to the United States when a young man, and for several years was employed steamboating on the Muskingum River in Ohio. Later he settled on a farm near Stockport, Ohio, and married and reared his family there. John W. White was born January 31, 1848, and died in September, 1902 [sic, 1903]. Though very young at the time, he served as a soldier in the Civil war, being for two years with Company K of the Forty-first Wisconsin Regiment, and came out of the army with the rank of sergeant. His active career was spent as a farmer. He was a member of the Catholic Church, was a democrat in politics and belonged to the Grand Army of the Republic. He was married in Wisconsin to Miss Catherine Crane, who was born in Ohio, February 12, 1851, and is still living. Of their eight children the five now living are: Thomas A., Blanche, wife of George W. Price, of Indianapolis, Indiana, Mary, wife of Elmer Youngs of St. Marys, Ohio, Edward, now serving in the army, and Catherine, wife of Henry C. Coman of Menominee, Michigan. At his birthplace, Wonewoc, Wisconsin, Thomas A. White spent his early years and received his first training in the public schools. Later he went to New York City, and was graduated in 1891 from Xavier College. Leaving school, his first occupation was with Crane & MacMahon of New York, exporters of wheels and carriage woodstock. He remained with them until September, 1892, gaining in the meantime a very detailed knowledge of the business and an excellent training for the responsibilities of the position which he next assumed at St. Marys. In 1897 Mr. White married Mary W. Keuthan, who was born in Cincinnati, daughter of John W. Keuthan, an early settler of Auglaize County, and proprietor of the Diecker House of St. Marys. Mr. and Mrs. White have five children: John C, who is now with the Second Ohio Regiment stationed at El Paso along the Mexican border; Thomas A., Jr.; Frederick F.; Beatrice B. and Robert Lee, all of whom are attending school. The family are members of the Catholic Church and Mr. White is an active democrat. Outside of his business, his citizenship has been especially directed toward the welfare and advancement of his home city. For seven years he was a member of the town council, for two years was mayor, and for the past three years has been on the board of education. ____________________
