Career

Joseph White attended the public schools in his home country as well as the Cambridge Academy . After that he became active in the trade. After studying law and being admitted to the bar in 1844, he began to work in this profession in Cambridge. Between 1845 and 1847 he was a prosecutor in Guernsey County . He also served as Mayor of Cambridge, although his exact term of office is unknown. Politically, he joined the Democratic Party . In 1860 he was a delegate to one or both of that year's Democratic National Conventions . Here, too, the relevant references are missing in the sources.

In the congressional elections of 1862 White was elected to the United States House of Representatives in Washington, DC in the 16th  constituency of Ohio , where he succeeded Republican William P. Cutler on March 4, 1863 . Since he was not confirmed in 1864, he could only serve one term in Congress until March 3, 1865 . This was shaped by the events of the civil war .

After his tenure in the US House of Representatives, Joseph White practiced law again. Politically, he no longer appeared. He died on August 6, 1892 in his hometown of Cambridge, where he was also buried.
