My Genealogy Hound

THOMAS L. WHITE, physician, McKeesport, was born in that city, Oct, 27, 1853, a son of James P. and Annie P. (Dunlevey) White. He was educated at Villanova College, Philadelphia; read medicine under the late Dr. Dickson, of Pittsburgh, and graduated from Jefferson Medical College, Philadelphia, March 13, 1875. He afterward spent a couple of years in Europe, the greater part of which time he was engaged in making observations and experiments under Europe’s best medical instructors, at Guy’s hospital, London, and in the military hospital, Vienna. After availing himself of all the known modern advantages that might be desirable for a physician and surgeon, acquiring proficiency in all branches of science incidental thereto, and not neglecting the literature and philosophy congenial to a person of his tastes, he returned to his home in McKeesport, where in his profession he has had the respect and confidence of the people. He married, Oct. 26, 1879, Mabel R., daughter of Capt. George W. and Katherine (Brady) Hunter, of McKeesport, and by her has had four children: Hilda (deceased), James J., Thomas P. and Frank S. Dr. White is president of the McKeesport Light company and of the Black Oil company, limited, and is the owner of White’s opera-house. He is a member of the Catholic Church, the C. M. B. A., the American Medical association and the International Medical Congress. He is an active democrat, and was a candidate of his party for congressional honors in his district in 1888.
