Luther was my great grandfather. I grew up on wonderful stories of him, he was very loved by his family. He was known to everyone as "Paw" and I honestly thought his name was "Paul" until I was 30 years old. I found my great grandmother's burial site and questioned the family as to why she was buried with a man named Luther and not with Paul. The family got a good laugh out of this and from all accounts "Paw" must have been laughing at this from Heaven himself.
Luther "Paw" White was a dedicated family man. His marriage to Lillie Jones (my great grandmother) was a scandal at the time. I'm not certain what her parents objections were but she followed her heart and they ran away to get married and stayed clearly in love the rest of their time together.
Luther was both a teacher and a farmer. The farming paid the bills and the teaching was his passion. He taught in the East Tennessee area most of his life.
