Edmond N. White was born in Maple Grove, Ohio, September 1840. His mother died when he was 9 years old and the family moved to Chicago. When he was 12 years of age, his father died, leaving him to the care of his father’s sister in Garrettsville, Ohio. He grew to manhood there and when the first call came for three months volunteers in the War of the Rebellion, he enlisted, and was discharged at the end of his service.

He was married to Nancy J. Taylor in December, 1863 and early in 1864 again enlisted in the Union army and served for several months, until wounded. After the war, they lived in Michigan for two years, moving from there to Missouri, where they lived for seven years. They moved to Madison county in 1873, living near the old Buffalo mill, southeast of Winterset, for nearly five years. They then moved to Kansas, but returned to Winterset in a few months. Their home was in Winterset for nearly 20 years. For the first five years Mr. White ran a wood yard here and then engaged in stock buying until he moved to the farm.

When a young man he became a member of the Presbyterian church in Garrettsville, Ohio.

The family, which all survive him consists, besides his wife, seven children: Mrs. Carrie B. Fritz of Omaha, Nebr.; Gordon E. White of Kansas City, Mo.; Benj. A. White of Clive; Prentiss White of Cico, Calif.; Mrs. Alice Ikerd of Des Moines and Frank and Myrtle White, with whom he was making his home at the time of his death.

Death came after several months of illness, on June 17th. Mr. White was known to all the older residents of Madison county, and with his genial disposition and kindness of heart, he was ever making and holding friends.

Rev. Rogers was in charge of the funeral services which were held on June 19th, at the Baptist church northeast of town.
