Mr. White was one of the earliest residents in Wenona, and was known far and wide as honest Uncle George White. There is no old citizen who will not regret to learn of his death. He was born in the Parish of Forkhill, County Armagh, Ireland, in 1801, and came to this country and settled in Wenona in 1852. His family followed him a year or two later. Mr. White was a well digger by profession, and in addition to that occupation he carried on farming. Several years ago, he purchased quite a body of land between Rutland and Ancona, and by industry and good management, had it all paid for before he began to think of giving up his daily labors. Some five or six years ago, he divided his property between his children, giving each of the three boys not less than 80 acres, remembering his five daughters also. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. Father McDermott, at the Catholic Church, on yesterday, after which the remains were interred at Reilly’ scemetery. The services were attended by a large concourse of people. Uncle George White was universally respected, more particularly by those who knew him so intimately in the early days of Wenona. Peace to his ashes. ********************************************************************************************* Name: George White Age in 1870: 70 Birth Year: abt 1800 Birthplace: Ireland Home in 1870: Groveland, La Salle, Illinois Race: White Gender: Male Post Office: Wenona Value of real estate: View image Household Members: Name Age Peter White 30 George White 70 Ann White 50 Michael White 11 Rosa White 8 Thos Mcgraw 29 Bridget Mcgraw 32 John Mcgraw 3 Thomas Mcgraw 2 Mary Mcgraw 6/12 Source: US Census – 1870 - Dennis Howard - [email protected]. densue.net. ************************************************************************** George WHITE and Ann FINNIGAN were married in 1832 in Ireland.
