WILLIS JOSHUA WHITE

     Willis J. White, the second son of the Hon. James Dempsey and Mary
Ellen (Coil) White, was born in Blandville, Kentucky, July 14, 1865, and
was there reared and educated.  Under his father's direction, having
completed his literary course, he took up the study of law and was admitted
to the bar in 1890.  Since 1889 he has resided in Bardwell, where he began
his professional career, and from 1897 until 1901 he was county attorney of
Carlisle county.  While he is a successful practitioner, he is also
interested in other business, and since 1900 has been an active stockholder
in the Bardwell Heading & Stave Company, of which he is the present.  This
enterprise has met with marked success.  Socially he is connected with both
the Masonic fraternity and with the Independent Order of Odd Fellows.
