    Daniel A. White, a farmer, was born in Franklin County, Ind., February 20, 1830.  He is a son of Albert R. White and Amy White, deceased.  In 1833, with his parents, he came to Jackson Township, this county.  In his youth he received rather a limited education, but by continual reading, and having a love for good books written by standard authors, he has made himself familiar with many of the important topics of this day.  In December 1830, he was united in marriage with Emily Bennet, daughter of Henry and Mary Bennet, and by her had two children, both of whom are deceased.  She died in December 1853.  On October 8, 1854, he was married to Minerva Bennet, by whom he has eight children, six of whom are now living, viz.: Albert S., George A., John W, Mary M., Martha E. and Jesse W.  Mr. White is at present the efficient Superintendent of the Creek Gravel Road.  He is the owner of 188 acres of land, and a member of the Methodist Protestant Church.  In 1854, he settled where he now resides.
