My grandfather, Squire Ned White, had a blacksmith shop at
Skullbone, and made all the coffins for the neighborhood. My
father's name was John White, a carpenter. He married Lou Crews,
daughter of Hix Crews, a Baptist preacher.
Mr. Crider: There used to be a horse tread cotton gin at
Skullbone. I have seen ground-hog wheat threshers, powered by
sorghum mill type levers. John White and Lou had two children:
Anna, Married Neely Crider and Ethel, married to Herbert Smith.
Herbert Smith had one child named John, who lives at Atwood.
