He comes from Celtic ancestry, being the son of JAMES and JOHANNA CREADON White, both natives of Ireland. The parents came to America in 1855 and after staying for a time in New York City journeyed westward to Illinois and subsequently to Cedar County, Iowa. In 1866 the father purchased one hundred and sixty acres of land in Muscatine County and engaged in farming until his death, which occurred after he had reached the age of seventy-three years. The mother was called away when seventy-three years of age. There were thirteen children in the family, two of whom died in infancy, the others being: James, now of Mitchell county, Iowa ; Hannah, the wife of M. J. Sullivan of Des Moines ; Michael, of Macon, Georgia ; Mary, now Mrs. Pat Sloan, of West Liberty, Iowa ; William, our subject ; John, of Commerce, Iowa ; Pat, of Des Moines ; Ella, who married John Stone of Melrose, Iowa ; Edward, of Mitchell county, Iowa ; Thomas, of McIntosh, New Mexico ; and Jerry, of West Liberty, Iowa. William White received a good common school education and thus was able to make a fair start when he began to provide for himself after leaving the parental home. He worked for wages for about four years and, having acquired a practical knowledge of farming, rented two hundred and twenty-five acres in Cedar county, Iowa, which he cultivated energetically for eleven years. As he prospered he purchased one hundred and sixty acres in 1898, to which he added fifty in Muscatine county and ninety-three acres in Cedar county, so that he is now the owner of a farm of three hundred and three acres in these counties, a portion of which is pasture and timber land, while that part in Goshen township, Muscatine county, is under a high state of cultivation. He handles good grades of stock and is a large breeder of cattle and hogs. On the 29th of September, 1891, Mr. White was united in marriage to Miss MARGARET MOYLAN, a daughter of PATRICK and MARIA MAGEE Moylan, both of whom were born in Ireland, and came to this country with their parents early in life. In the family of Mr. and Mrs. Moylan were the following children: Edward, deceased ; Lizzie, the wife of Remy Marticke, of Muscatine county ; Margaret, now Mrs. White ; Fannie, deceased ; James, of Wilton Junction, Ellen, now Mrs. Henry Smith, of Muscatine county ; May, the wife of Andy McFadden ; and Eva, deceased. Four children have blessed the union of Mr. and Mrs. White: Walter, Frances, Margaret, and Wilmer, all of whom are at home. Politically Mr. White gives his adherence to the Democratic Party. He has never desired nor sought public office but has served with general acceptance for six years as a member of the school board. He and his family are faithful members of the Catholic Church. Mr. White was early introduced to labor and thus gained lessons which have enabled him to overcome many difficulties. He takes great pride in his home and the love which he bestows upon his family is fully returned. A loyal citizen and a true friend, he is justly accorded a high place in the estimation of the people of Muscatine County.
