!Death: Oregon Death record #186HISTORY: Sketches of Thomas White, of Ohio by L. P. Allen
!HISTORY: Harrison County, Iowa: He became a pioneer of Harrison County in
April 1853, accompanying his parents to this county, and at first settled on
section 24, in Jefferson Township, buying a little Mormon hut and entering land
on sections 24 and 25, remaining there about one year, then removed to section
25, near where his father now lives. He remained at his parents' homeuntil he
had reached the years of his majority and then commenced working out by the
month, on a farm, but being convinced that there was a more rapid road to
financial success than by this farm labor, he began buying calves and the
second year he commenced farming for himself, and in 1869 bought land on
section 13, of Jefferson Township, which he held three years and then exchanged
the same for a part of his present place; he moved into the latter in 1874,
where he has made substantial improvements providing his place with a fine
growing orchard, ect. In 1869 he went to Saunders County, Neb., and there
pre-empted a piece of land, remaining there two years, traded his land to an
old soldier, simply getting pay for the improvements he had put on the same.
He moved to Oregon around 1902 or 1903 going Wallowa County, homesteaded there
and eventually moving to Milton, Umatilla County, because of the milder
winters. Where he eventually died and is buried.
