James Edson White (28 July 1849 – 3 June 1928), frequently known as Edson White, was an American author, publisher and the second son of two of the pioneers of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, James S. White and Ellen G. White.[1]
In 1870 he married Emma McDearmon, but did not have any children. After being detached from his parents and their church for a couple of decades he had a spiritual change of heart when he was 44 years old, at the time he lived in Chicago.
Mission to African Americans
He found a booklet written by his mother titled Our Duty to the Colored People.[
The publishing organization that Edson established was originally known as the "Gospel Herald Publishing Company". It was taken over by the church[2] and renamed to "Southern Publishing Association" in 1901, which subsequently merged with the Review and Herald Publishing Association in 1980.[4]
He started the "J. E. White Publishing Company."
