The White family
edit
The locally prominent White family was closely associated with St. Paul's since its founding. It was observed that "the name [White] should always be woven into the history of St. Paul’s."[3]
- Horace White (1802–1860; banker and businessman) was a vestryman for over twenty years and warden, and is honored with a stained glass window on the south aisle[3]
- Clara Dickson White (1811–1882; wife of Horace) donated money for construction of the church tower. The church spire was dedicated in her honor.[3]
- Hamilton White (1807–1865; banker and brother of Horace) was a vestryman for many years and served on the building committee, and is honored by the White Memorial Chancel Window.[3]
The spire and windows were dedicated in 1907 by Horace and Clara's sons Andrew Dickson White (1832–1918; co-founder and first president of Cornell University) and Horace Keep White (1835–1915; banker and head of a salt company).[3]
