It's a dead end or brick wall. Can not find any proof of his
parents,two possible places of birth. Either ST. Joseph,Buchanan,Clay County, from death .He was murdered on a train, as a brakeman on a Burlington Railway train.,rushing to the conductor who was being robbed.On August 20,1890.The St. Joseph Herald's,paper.
The other possible place, is Tazewell,Illinois.My sister thinks his father is Ambrose Benjamin White, wife ,Emma Thompson, as his parents. But paper said his parent as
John White. Also Edward uses his middle name,Joseph,as
first,sometimes.
Please Help
