Autobiography Of Andrew Dickson White Volume Ii
Von: Andrew Dickson White
Andrew Dickson White was born on November 7, 1832 in Homer, New York, to Clara (née Dickson) and Horace White.[3] Clara was the daughter of Andrew Dickson, a New York State Assemblyman in 1832 and his wife; and Horace was the son of Asa White, a farmer from Massachusetts, and his wife. Their once-successful farm was ruined by a fire when Horace was 13.[3] Despite little formal education and an impoverished background, Horace White became a wealthy merchant. In 1839 he opened what became a successful bank in Syracuse.[4] Andrew Dickson White and his brother were born to a childhood free of the poverty their father and paternal grandparents had suffered. Andrew was baptized in 1835 at the Calvary Episcopal Church on the town green in Homer.[5]
