SNOWDEN K. WHITE

Snowden K. White was bom August 2, 1855, in Greene county, Pennsylvania. His parents' names were Isaac and Lydia (Tustin) White. His father was a millwright. Snowden K. came to Mercer county from Pennsylvania in 1877, where he soon started quite extensively in the ditching and house moving business.

Starting with his brother, he at this time ran his business alone, and during the year 1881 cut over 50,000 rods of ditch in Mercer and Warren counties, and moved upward of fifty houses. Mr. White is altogether a self-made man, and though young is a man of weight and standing, which his energy and business talent deserve. He is a member of the Baptist church of Aledo, and a worker in the choir and Sabbath school. Politically he is a democrat.
