Biographical Sketch of L. N. White, Johnson County, Missouri,
Centerview Township.

From "History of Johnson County, Missouri," by Ewing Cockrell, Historical Publishing Company, Topeka, Cleveland, 1918.

L. N. White, a progressive, intelligent young farmer and stockman of Centerview township, is a native of Indiana. He was born in 1879, a son of Dr. W. L. and Mary (Hall) White, a sketch of whom appears elsewhere in this volume. Mr. White, whose name introduces this review,

attended school at Glendale and in Warrensburg. He was later a student at the Warrensburg State Normal School and at Baker University. Mr. White took work in college in both the business and academic departments. After leaving college, he began farming and stock raising. He
purchased half the homestead, for which he paid in three years.

In 1908, he moved from the farm to Baldwin City in order to attend school, after which time he returned to the farm for a few months and then, in 1909, rented his place and moved to his father's farm. After a short time on the home place, Mr. White bought the old Whitmore place from
his father, which he sold after one year and bought the old Roop farm, which he also sold within a short time. He cleared about one thousand dollars on the latter farm and then traded his part in the homestead, which is located near Houts' Chapel, for a part of Doctor Bozarth's
place. At the present time, Mr. White owns one hundred fifty three and a half acres of land, for which he paid one hundred twenty-five dollars an acre. This past season he harvested six hundred bushels of wheat, three hundred fifty bushels of oats, and eighteen tons of hay.

He had seventy acres of his farm in corn. Mr. White is also interested in stock raising and has at the present time, in 1917, twelve head of Herefords and seventy-five head of fine hogs. The place is well equipped for handling stock, having an abundance of sheds; farm buildings of
all kinds in good repair; and a concrete watering tank, recently installed, which is filled by gravity pressure from an everflowing spring. L. N. White is one of the county's most enterprising agriculturists.

He advocates the liberal use of fertilizer and of pasturing
stock to increase the fertility of the soil, and he practices that which he advocates.

In 1902, L. N. White was united in marriage with
Susa E. Neet, daughter of Jacob and Hester Neet, and to this union has been born three children: Sylvia E., Lindley W. and Susanna G. Mr. and Mrs. White are well known and esteemed in Johnson county.
