MYRON WHITE
Vol. 3, p. 1225
Book has photo

The part taken by Myron WHITE in the affairs of Muskogee during the
past fifteen years has been that of an able and conscientious lawyer,
whose affiliations have always been straightforward and honorable and
whose practice has given him some high connections with local
affairs. Mr. White is one of the most popular members of the Muskogee
bar and has rendered some important services through his professional
activities.

Myron White was born in Brown County, Kansas, September 6, 1875, a
son of Jesse H. and Ella (WHITE) White. His father, of English
lineage and of Revolutionary Stock, was a native of Ohio, and for
four years during the Civil war was a Union soldier. After the war he
married Ella White, who though of the same name was not related. She
was born in Wisconsin, her father came from Scotland and her mother
from Ireland. Their two children were Jesse M. and Myron, and when
the latter was two years of age she died. Her husband had a second
marriage and seven children by that union.

After his mother's death Myron White until the age of ten was reared
in his grandmother's home in Ohio. From that age until he left home
he was on his father's farm in Pratt County, Kansas. His education
came from public schools, from the Hiawatha Academy of Kansas and
from Washburn College at Topeka. He was one of the many students of
old Washburn who enlisted in 1898 for service in the Spanish-American
war, and was a member of the College Company of the famous Twenty-
second Kansas Regiment. He was on duty for ten months, and during
that entire time was regimental color bearer. After leaving the army
Mr. White entered the law department of the University of Kansas and
was graduated LL.B. June 12, 1902, receiving admission at the same
time to practice before the Kansas bar. Five days after his
graduation, on June 17th, Mr. White came to Muskogee, and during the
subsequent years has succeeded in gaining a large practice and a
secure place as a lawyer and citizen.

He is a republican in politics, and in Masonry has taken the Knights
Templar degrees and belongs to the Nobles of the Mystic Shrine. In
December, 1902, he married Miss Sadie E. SWANK of Topeka. Their three
children are named Myron Eugene, Margaret Ella and Paul Russell.
