Charles Trumbull White, the fourth child and second son of Norman White and Mary Abiah Dodge, was born at No. 14 Clinton Place (Borough of Bronx) New York City.
At about the age of sixteen he began working in the office of his father's firm, White & Sheffield, importers and dealers in paper and paper materials. A year or two later he accompanied his parents on a trip abroad, and after their return remained for a year in Paris, connecting himself with the office of the Messrs. Bossange & Co., business correspondents of his father's firm, thus acquiring a knowledge of foreign business methods and perfecting himself in the French language. In 1857, he became a member of the firm of White & Sheffield, and remained connected with it until its dissolution, in 1870.
On September 30, 1857, at Auburn, New York, he married Georgiana Starin, daughter of Andelucia and Josiah Nelson Starin, of Auburn.
In about 1858, he helped organize the Twenty-second Regiment of the National Guard of New York. In 1863, with his father, he became interested in the type foundry which had been established by his grandfather's cousin, Elihu White, early in the century, and which was continued under the firm name of White & Company until 1870. When his father retired from business, he entered into the manufacture of drugs and chemicals, and so continued until 1885. Failing health, in 1887, brought his active business life to a close.
