'''Ruth White''', author and Baha'i (b 27 Jun 1888, Winstead, [[Connecticut]]) Her stage name was Ruth Berkeley, her first married name was Mrs George Rowell, and by this marriage she had a daughter. Her second husband Hubert Lawrence White, graduated in law from Cornell University. They were married by 1930 if not many years before, possibly he is the one of that name who was son of William Mansfield White by his wife Anna Maria Pierrepont. In 1930/1 she lived in New York City, moving later to Utica, New York. She perhaps moved in the mid 40s to Beverly Hills, California. At one point their address is given as "R.D. 2, Santa Cruz, California". Her husband might be the man of that name who died in Santa Monica, California in 1953. ==Sources== *[http://content.ancestry.com/iexec/?htx=View&r=an&dbid=7488&iid=NYT715_4274-0205&fn=Herbert+L&ln=White&st=r&ssrc=&pid=2004712216 ''New York Passenger Lists, 1820-1957''], sailing on the Majestic, out of Cherbourg, 23 May 1928, arriving at New York 29 May 1928 : "Herbert L White, 59, married, born 12 Oct 1869 Canasaraga, NY; resident of 102 White Blvd, Bleeker Street, Utica NY; Ruth White, wife, 40, born 27 June 1888 Winsted, Conn" *[http://content.ancestry.com/iexec/?htx=View&r=an&dbid=7488&iid=NYT715_4788-0252&fn=Lawrence&ln=White&st=r&ssrc=&pid=2012546490 ''New York Passenger Lists, 1820-1957''], sailing on the Bremen, out of Southampton, 26 Jul 1930, arriving at New York, 31 Jul 1930 : "Lawrence White, 60, married, born Canaseraga, NY, 12 Oct 1869, resident at 102 White Bldg, Bleeker St, Utica, NY; Emma, 42, born Wingted, Conn, 27 June 1888" *[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruth_White "Ruth White"] on Wikipedia *A letter dated 25 Nov 1930 ([http://www.fglaysher.com/bahaicensorship/RWhiteLibC.htm photostatic copy here]), from Secretariat, Government Offices, Jerusalem is directed to her as "Mrs H Lawrence White, Butler Hall, 88 Morningside Drive, New York City" *A bit later on, at least after Jul 1931, her address is also given as "Mrs H Lawrence White, 102 White Building, Utica, New York" *And in a bibliography, her evidently privately published "Abdul Baha's Questioned Will and Testament" is published in Beverly Hills 1946. *[http://www.fglaysher.com/bahaicensorship/Ruth%20White.htm "Ruth White"] on Frederick Glaysher's site [[Category:Bahai individuals]]
