White, Dr. C. M. Charles
Maxwell White of Geneva County, Alabama must be this person, though available records
that refer to him as a doctor have not been located. He is listed as a farmer
in the 1900 and 1910 censuses. He may have been a country doctor as well. A 1908
newspaper report of the United Convention mentions the Dr. White of south Alabama
as a delegate to the convention.[i]
“Dr. C. M. White, of Geneva county” was “among the prominent members attending”
the Alabama State Musical Association in 1911. He served as president of a singing
convention, at the Geneva County Courthouse in Geneva, Alabama, August of 1901.
Born March 6, 1868, he was the son of Joakim James L. White and Sarah Ann
Register. He married Mariam Sebenna Grace (1870–1966) and they had eight
children. Charles M. White died October 9, 1913. He and Mariam are buried at
the Hurricane United Methodist Church Cemetery at Hartford, Geneva County,
Alabama. There is no obvious kinship with the B. F. White family.
