W. Atkinson, L.L.B., L.L.D. Virginia Law Book Company, Charleston, W. Va., 1919 Pages 527-528, Captain Kemble White, A.B., LL.B. Captain White, son of Hon. Henry S. and Lovia Fields White, was born at Bellton, Marshall County, West Virginia, April 5, 1873, and was educated in the public schools of his native county and at the West Virginia University, from which he was graduated A.B. in the class of 1894. Later he took the law course in the same institution, graduating LL.B. in the class of 1900. He was admitted to the Morgantown Bar in the fall of that year, and shortly thereafter located in the city of Fairmont, Marion County, where he has since successfully practiced. His practice embraced, for a time, all branches of the law, but of late years he has specialized in oil and gas litigations in which he has become quite an authority. He was Captain of a company in the First West Virginia Infantry Regiment of Volunteers in the Spanish-American War; was a good soldier and served faithfully until the close of the war. He promptly returned to his law office, and devoted his time and his energies to the rehabilitation of his business which had scattered and largely disappeared during his absence in the field. He recouped rapidly and now has a large and profitable clientele. He is a Republican in politics, but has never aspired to any public office, preferring to devote all of his time to his profession, in which he has been remarkably successful. His one predominating thought and purpose is to reach the highest possible standard as a lawyer, and his aspirations in this respect have been abundantly rewarded. He, therefore, as a lawyer, whether judged with reference to work performed or pecuniary gain, has reached an enviable position among his fellows. He has a superior analytical mind, and, therefore, is naturally as well as by education, fitted for the law. In his preparation for court trials he is thorough and tactful, and better than all, he can always be found at his post of duty. Such men rarely, if ever, fail to reach the goal of their ambition. Captain White during the European War has rendered valuable service to the Government as Chairman of the Selective Draft Board of the city of Fairmont. Captain White is married, has two children and resides at Fairmont. His home-life is ideal. Naturally hopeful and happy, his hours with his family and friends are always social and joyous. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Additional Information: --------------------------------------------------------------------- DEATH CERTIFICATE / DEATH REGISTER Harrison County WV, Death Register Volume 24, Page 275B Name: Kemble White Date-of-birth: Apr 5, 1873 Date-of-death: Sep 2, 1965 Widowed at time of death Son-of: Henry Solomon White and Loviah Kemble Occup: Lawyer, retired Place-of-death: Clarksburg, Harrison County, WV buried in Bridgeport Cemetery Harrison County WV, Death Certificate, #3446 Name: Jane Ferguson White Date-of-birth: Jun 24, 1877, Greenvill, SC Date-of-death: Mar 19, 1941, Clarksburg, Harrison County Wife-of: Kemble White Dau-of: John Ferguson (SC) and Jane Grady (SC) Cause-of-death: Acute appendicitis, acute diverticulitis buried in Benedum Cemetery, Bridgeport WV --------------------------------------------------------------------- CENSUS RECORDS 1930 Census, Marion County WV Fairmont, ED:11, Sheet 6A 428 Benoni Avenue WHITE, Kemble (head) 56, mar-at-age-31, WV-WV-WV, Lawyer, Gen-Practice ", Jane F.
