Grace Olive (Miner) White was born on Jan. 7, 1901, in the Meadowlands area of Washington, Washington County, PA, the eldest of seven children of Harry Orlan and Armena Viancy (Cain) Miner.

A number of photographic images were taken of Grace during her growing-up years, some posed by herself, and others with her siblings and beloved aunt aunt Emma (Miner) White, who later became her sister in law. (They married brothers, who were many years apart in age.)

When her father died unexpectedly in the summer of 1919, when Grace was age 18, she quit high school and went to work making wicker carriages in a local factory in Washington. 

Grace, age about 5

In 1921, Grace is known to have traveled by railroad train to Indiana with her youngest sister Anna. The purpose was to visit their elderly grandmother Mary Louise (Johnston) Miner, who was residing with family in the town of Upland and not expected to live much longer.

On Aug. 22, 1923, when she was age 22, Grace married 24-year-old Lynn Forrest White (June 9, 1899-1966) at her mother’s home on Fayette Street in Washington. He was the son of Homer C. and Mary J. (Rodgers) White of Wolfdale, Washington County. Lynn’s brother, Rev. Lester Allen White, who also was Grace's uncle and also brother in law by marriage, performed the ceremony. A Washington newspaper reported that the "bridal party entered the parlor to the strains of the Mendelssohn wedding march…. The bride was beautifully attired in white georgette and carried white roses." Grace’s brother Odger Miner served as best man.

The couple went on to produce a brood of five children – Harry Edward White, Marjorie Elizabeth Ann "Marge" Morris, Ruth Lois Patterson Redman, Ronald Lynn White and Phyllis Arlene White. 

Grief cascaded throughout the family when their youngest daughter, Phyllis, became stricken with inflamed small intestine and colon. Sadly, she died at the age of four months and 18 days on May 25, 1939. Her tender remains were buried in Washington Cemetery.

At the time of marriage, Grace was a clerk, and Lynn earned a living as a truck driver for the Washington Grain and Feed Company.  Within a few years, they moved to New Alexandria, Westmoreland County, PA, where their eldest son was born.

In time they moved back to Washington, where they occupied a house along Route 40 (popularly known as the National Highway, the National Road and the National Pike).

Lynn spent his entire working career as a truck driver. In 1947, he joined the Coen Oil Company of Washington, and “drove truck” there until his retirement on New Year’s Day 1965. Coen Oil had been founded in 1923 by Raymond Ross, who called the brand "First Chance, Last Chance." He did so, reported the Pittsburgh Business Times, "because it provided the initial opportunity for folks driving into Washington, Pa. to fueld up or, for departing motorists, the last chance to fill the tank before heading out of town."

Grace was said to be high strung, and to have suffered nearly 25 mini-strokes during her lifetime.

The Whites enjoyed attending Miner family gatherings. In the photo seen at right, of a family dinner in 1952,. Grace is second from right, with, from left to right, her sisters Anna and Jessie, and their mother Armena.

Grace and Lynn were longtime members of the West Washington Methodist Church, following in the footsteps of her parents, uncles, aunts and many cousins.  Lynn was a member of the church board for several years, and Grace and her mother were members of the Sunday School class.

In August 1963, Grace and Lynn celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary with a family dinner at the Mansion House in Washington.

They are pictured here posed with beautiful pink and white blossoms that Grace is thought to have cultivated. The image was taken in 1965 by Grace's widowed brother Orlan Lloyd Miner, who had returned to Pennsylvania from California for a visit following the passing of his wife.

Lynn was diagnosed with prostate cancer in about 1963. He endured the illness for three years, but there was to be no recovery. Sadly, he died at home in the early morning hours of Feb. 4, 1966, at the age of 67.

Grace outlived him by four years. Her strokes left her unable to walk, and she thus was forced to use a wheelchair. She and her mother were honored over the weekend of June 1-2, 1968, when the West Washington Methodist Church paid tribute to quite a number of its congregation who had been members for at least half a century. In addition to being identified by name at the Sunday morning worship service, the honorees posed as a group for a photograph, with Grace and Armena sitting in the center of the front row. Rev. Ferd B. Park sent each individual a print of the photo, and in an accompanying letter, he wrote:

I personally thought we had a wonderful weekend on Saturday and Sunday... We thought you would want a souvenir of that memorable occasion in which you were able to participate. Please accept the enclosed picture, compliments of the William O. Ruschel Studio, as a memento of our weekend honoring and recognizing the 50-year members of our church. I have a copy and I will always treasure it and the wonderful occasion it brings to mind. I was so very pleased you could be with us for that occasion.

Grace spent her final years at the Ullom Nursing Home in Washington. She passed away there of the lingering effects of a stroke on Nov. 11, 1970, at the age of 69. (The founder of this website remembers attending her viewing at the funeral home.) She was laid to rest beside her husband at Washington Cemetery.

~ Son Harry Edward White ~

Son Harry Edward White (1927-2000) was born on New Year's Day 1927 in New Alexandria, Westmoreland County, PA.

He grew up in his parents' hometown of Washington, Washington County, PA. He stood 5 feet, 8 inches tall, and had blue eyes, brown hair and a light complexion.

During World War II, he served in the U.S. Navy. Evidence suggests that he was stationed on the Great Lakes and that he fathered a daughter in Wisconsin in 1944. He received his honorable discharge on March 21, 1946.

Following the war's end, he returned home and was married at least three times.

In 1948, when he was 21 years of age, Harry eloped to be joined in holy matrimony with his first wife, 18-year-old Mary Brincko (July 26, 1930-2014). She was one of 13 children of John and Mary (Jarosik) Brincko of the Meadow Lands near Washington. The couple tied the knot in Danville, Frederick County, VA, by the hand of Rev. Robert A. Whitten of the Congregational Christian Church. On their marriage license, he stated that he was a farmer, and she fibbed about her age, stating that she was 21.

Harry and Mary were the parents of three children, Charles Myron "Chuck" White Sr., Evelyn Bails Gostic and David Lynn White.

At right, Harry holds his eldest son Chuck at the funeral of step-grandfather Benjamin Franklin Marshall in May 1950.

During his first marriage, Harry is said to have "made babies" all over Washington. He is known to have had a relationship at that time with Mary Jane Romano ( ? - ? ), daughter of Frank and Anna Romano. She became pregnant at the age of 19.

Six weeks after the birth of Harry and Mary's youngest son, having already borne three babies by the age of 21, Mary learned of her husband's infidelity and asked him to leave. The couple eventually divorced.

Harry then moved to Lexington, KY, and brought his pregnant girlfriend there. They made a home in an apartment at 574 West Short Street, and he found a job driving a truck for Lexon Bakery. No evidence exists to suggest that they married. Over the next few years, in 1953-1954, two sons were born to the couple -- Kenneth Eugene and Roger. When the relationship ended, Mary Jane and sons moved back to Washington. Her son Kenneth was adopted by Mary Jane's parents and was re-named "Kenneth Romano." Mary Jane raised her son Roger and in time married Paul Boardley ( ? - ? ), then renamed the son "Roger Boardley."

Reported the Warren (OH) Tribune-Chronicle, Harry "was a self-employed truck driver for 30 years, before retiring [and] had worked for four years as a realtor with Jim Ryan Real Estate.... He was a member of Tri-State Country Music Association, Trumbull County Alert and enjoyed camping, fishing, and was an avid CB radio operator with the handle 'White Stallion'."

In 1956, Harry wed his second wife, Mabel (Pierce) Loomis ( ? -1973). Circa 1970, Harry resided in Conneaut, Ashtabula County, OH. 

Then on Dec. 15, 1973, when both were age 46, he married for a third time, to LoVerna E. "Pepper" Reed (1927-1992), on Dec. 15, 1973. They relocated from Ashtabula, Ashtabula County, OH to Bristolville, Trumbull County, in 1975. Later, they made their home in Kinsman, Trumbull County. 

Harry and LoVerna attended one or more reunions of the Miner family held at the Valley Skating Center roller rink owned by a cousin in Donora, Washington County, PA in the early 1990s. They also came to the 50th wedding anniversary party for his uncle and aunt, Edward and Anna (Beddow) Miner, in Washington circa 1989.

Sadly, LoVerna died on Dec. 3, 1992, following 19 years of marriage. 

Harry remained in Kinsman for the remaining eight years of his life. He passed away at the age of 73 on Jan. 23, 2000. His cremated remains were laid in repose at Meadowbrook Memorial Park in Champion, Trumbull County.

Former wife Mary began dating again in about 1953 with Raymond Allison "Ray" Kifer (Sept. 23, 1924-2013), native of Canonsburg and the son of Raymond W. and Ora Marie (Champ) Kifer. On May 14, 1971, they married. He was a father figure to her children and "Pap" to the grandchildren. They were together until his death on May 14, 2013. Said an obituary, Mary "was a member of Shiloh Bible Fellowship. She was a homemaker, and was employed as a hairdresser in many salons. She enjoyed day cleaning in private homes and loved bowling, riding motorcycles, polka music, dancing, crafts and gardening. She enjoyed all of her great memories with her entire family." Mary passed into eternity on Sept. 18, 2014 at home. Following funeral services led by Rev. Edward Popovich, her remains were interred in Forest Lawn Gardens in McMurray, Washington County.

Son Charles Myron "Chuck" White (1949 -living) was born in about 1948. On Aug. 17, 1969, he married Margaret "Peggy" ( ? -living).

Said the North County (CA) Times, "His granddad taught him to love nature, fish, hunt and that a man was only as good as his word. That a handshake was a binding contract. He was the last of the Renaissance men. His talents were endless. He could do anything, but, the thing he did best was teach men how to love their wives by example. He would cry at a beautiful sunset yet stare death in the face with fortitude." They made a home in the Escondido area of San Diego and celebrated their 30th wedding anniversary in 2008. Kenneth also was a member of the Masons and Shrine, the National Rifle Association, Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, and Escondido Fish and Game.
