   [-63-]

        SEYMOUR PENFIELD WHITE, elder of the sons of JAMES PENFIELD WHITE,
     was born in Buffalo August 2, 1873. He received a good education and
     had just taken his final examination for Yale when he was compelled by
     the death of his father to forego a full University course. Leaving
     his studies, he assumed full charge of the affairs of the WHITE es-
     tate, taking personal control of the erection of the WHITE Building.
     He is a trustee of the Buffalo Savings Bank and is a man of strong
     executive ability and sound business principles.
        As a National Guardsman, Mr. WHITE has a highly creditable record.
     Entering the 65th Regiment as Second Lieutenant, he rose to the rank
     of Captain, and was a member of GOVERNOR ODELL'S staff. During the
     Spanish-American War he participated in active service with his
     regiment at Camp Alger. In 1905 Mr. WHITE, on account of pressure of
     business, resigned from his regiment. During his period of service
     with the 65th, he was for a number of years Inspector of Rifle
     Practice, being himself an expert marksman. He is also a lover of
     sports and a well-known clubman, being a member and Treasurer of the
     Saturn Club, a member of the Country Club and President of the Buffalo
     Automobile Club.
        May 26, 1898, Mr. WHITE married ANNIE DUNBAR, daughter of GEORGE H.
     DUNBAR, of Buffalo. They have two children, MARION and EMILY.
