AVERY C. WHITE
AVERY C. WHITE, District
Attorney of San Joaquin County, is a native Californian, born at Woodbridge,
this county, May 17, 1862. He was educated in the public schools and at the San
Joaquin Valley College, Woodbridge, where he completed the course in 1885. He
had chosen the profession of law as his future vocation, and when he had
finished his literary education, he commenced attendance at the law department
of the University of Michigan, Ann-Arbor, where he was graduated in 1887. On
the 17th of May, 1886, he was admitted to practice by the examining
committee of the Supreme Court of Michigan, and when he returned to California
in 1887, he was admitted by the Supreme Court of this State. He commenced
practice in the office of J. C. Campbell, at Stockton, but afterward entered
into partnership with W. S. Buckley. He was elected to the office of District
Attorney of San Joaquin County at the November election, 1888, and since
entering upon his discharge of the duties of the office has encountered some of
the most complicated and trying business which has ever fallen to the lot of an
incumbent of the position. His conduct of the office has been creditable to
him.
Mr. White is a member of the Stockton
Parlor, No. 9, N. S. G. W.; of Nemo Lodge, K. of P.; of the Pioneer Society; of
Washtenaw Lodge, F. & A. M., Ann Arbor, Michigan, and of the Eastern Star.
He is a Democrat politically, and an ardent advocate of the party’s doctrines,
as well as prominent in its councils.
