ADDISON D. WHITE
Originally published in 1900 |
|
ADDISON D. WHITE, a veteran of the Civil War and now a Justice of
the Peace in Harrison, Hudson County, was born on Staten Island, New
York, April 9, 1846. He is the son of Richard White and Ann Simonson,
and a descendant of ancestors who came to this country several generations
ago, both his parents being natives of Staten Island.
Mr. White acquired, as a boy, a good public school education, and had scarcely finished his studies when, impelled by the patriotism which distinguishes his race, he enlisted in the One Hundred and Thirty-second New York Volunteer Infantry for service in the War for the Union. He served three years, participating in Sherman's historic march to the sea and in numerous battles and skirmishes, in all of which he bore a conspicuous part. Returning home at the close of his service, with an honorable discharge and a brilliant record for bravery in action, Mr. White devoted himself to active business pursuits. In 1870 he removed to Harrison, N. J., where he has since resided, and until 1875 was successfully engaged in real estate operations. He is now connected with the Domestic Sewing Machine Works. In politics Mr. White is an ardent and influential Democrat, and for several years has been active in the interests of his party. He is now (1900) serving his second term as Justice of the Peace. He is a member of the Junior Order United American Mechanics and of the Daughters of Liberty. He married Miss Margaret Martin and has three children.
