DR. GEORGE W. WHITE, a prominent citizen of Elizabethtown, Hardin County,
was born November 17, 1827; on Fishing Creek, Pulaski Co., Ky.  His
maternal grandfather was a soldier in the Revolutionary war from Virginia;
married a lady named Gordon and reared a large family of children, one of
whom was subject's mother.  Thomas White, the father of subject, was born
in North Carolina, and when eight years old, in company with his mother and
stepfather, came to Kentucky, leaving the rest of his brothers in North
Carolina.  They located in Casey County, where Thomas grew to manhood, and
where he married Miss Tabitha Dye.  She was a native of Pulaski County,
though of a Virginia family of German origin, and a daughter of a
Revolutionary soldier.  Thomas White devoted his life to farming and died
in 1866.  He had a family of fourteen sons and one daughter, several of
whom grew to maturity.  The mother still resides in Pulaski County, at the
age of eighty-four years.  Dr. George W. was the fourth son born to these
parents.  His boyhood days were passed on his father's farm, during which
period he attended the common schools of his native county and the schools
of Somerset.  At the age of twenty-one years he began the study of
medicine, meantime engaging in school teaching as a means of support while
preparing for his profession.  In 1852 he entered the medical department of
the University of Louisville, graduating therefrom the following year, when
he at once established a practice in Breckinridge County, where he had
removed in early manhood.  After a successful professional career of twenty
years he retired from the practice and removed to Elizabethtown, Hardin
County, where he still resides.  He is engaged in stock raising and general
farming, and enjoys the distinction of being one of the wealthiest men of
Hardin County, having accumulated his property by the honest and active
application of the true principles of business.  He has been a constant
student through life, and has comprehended within his scope of literary
research a thorough knowledge of the law; is regularly licensed to
practice, and for the past eight years has filled the office of justice of
the peace for Elizabethtown.  Dr. White is president of the Elizabethtown
Milling and Coal Company, and a director and stockholder in the First
National Bank.  He was married in Breckinridge County, in 1857, to Miss
Mary E. Elliott, daughter of A. G. Elliott, and his five children are named
as follows: Essie L., Ovid B., Virgil, Minnie K. and Pearlie E. White.
Subject is an honored member of the Masonic fraternity and of the Baptist
