Notes:

Robert Cecil McDaniel wrote that although Albert White "had little formal education, as was common with men of his generation, he was extremely shrewd, a good conversationalist, witty, and very much at home in all types of society. He farmed some, but for hte most part, he raised and traded in livestock. I doubt if there was a man in Sabine County who loved outdoors activities more than Albert."
