George Bustill White had six siblings, all listed as living at home in 1860. Listed here with their ages in 1863, when Emilie would have visited the household, they are Elizabeth (32 years old), Jacob Jr. (27 years old), Henry (25 years old), Martin (22 years old), Joseph (20 years old), and Sarah (12 years old). It is not difficult to imagine the White household being the center of much activity during and after the Civil War. Year: 1860; Census Place: Philadelphia Ward 12 Division 1, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Roll: M653_1162; Page: 125; Image: 129; Family History Library Film: 805162.
