The Cumberland Presbyterians commenced work in St. Louis in 1848, an organization being effected by Rev. J. G. White, under appointment of the Board of Missions of the denomination. He was succeeded in 1860 by Rev. L. C. Ransom. The church building was situated at the corner of Eleventh and St. Charles Streets, but it passed out of the hands of the denomination during the war, and the congregation of about two hundred persons was dispersed.

FIRST CUMBERLAND PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH in St. Louis, Missouri.
Organized by the Rev. J. G. White, April 29th, 1849. The church edifice was erected in 1852.
[Source: http://lincoln.lib.niu.edu/cgi-bin/philologic/getobject.pl?c.2555:14:2.lincoln]

The first church erected in the corporate limits of the village (Tallula, Illinois) was the Cumberland Presbyterian Church, which was built in 1861. It is a frame building, and cost about $3,000. Their first preacher was Rev. J.G. White, whose greatest forte seems to have been in fighting the Catholics, not with fisticuffs, but with his tongue.

Rev. J. G. White, of St. Louis, succeeded Mr. Burrow, remaining in charge during the entire period of the war, and doing very successful work. Under his ministry the church (Evansville, Indiana) was greatly strengthened, and became a decidedly prominent factor in the religious life of the city. Dr. White has grown old, but still preaches and lectures with much power. His home is in central Illinois. Rev. J. C. Bowden, D. D., of Tennessee, accepted the pastorate in 1865.

Next he (Rev. James C. Bowdon) accepted a call to the pastorate of the church in Evansville, as the successor of Rev. J. G. White. This was in July, 1865.

The only church in the township, outside of the village of Stanford, is the edifice erected by the Cumberland Presbyterians in 1863. It is a fine country church, standing a short distance northeast of the village of Stanford. It is in the open prairie, but has company in the tall, white tombstones that stand so lonely and still in the graveyard adjoining. The building is 40x60 feet, and cost about $4,000. The members of this society belonged to the church organized at Stout's Grove, before the organization here. The Rev. J. A. Chase began preaching in the schoolhouse, which stood one-half mile north of the site of the present church. Here a considerable interest was awakened in the cause, and a number of additions made to the society. As a result, the members of this denomination, living in convenient distances, met and formed a society, and built a church immediately. John Armstrong, Thomas Neal, Kane Cooper and others were prominent men in the organization of the society and the building of the church. J. A. Chase continued his efforts until two years ago (1877). After him, came J. G. White, of Jacksonville, Ill. He is the present Pastor. The society has been a pretty strong one, there having been over five hundred members since the first organization. The present number of communicants is something over two hundred. The church may be considered a child of the Stout's Grove Society, though the offspring is of more lusty growth than the parent.

(The following information was taken from the Axtell Anchor (Axtell, Kansas) of November 1, 1889.)

A near riot almost erupted in Axtell on the evening of Thursday, October 24, 1889. A traveling protestant minister, Rev. J. G. White of Stanford, IL, was going from town to town giving lectures on Catholicism. The first lecture of his series on Wednesday was entitled, "Romanism is not of God." [Romanism was a name Protestants gave to the Roman Catholic religion]. This talk was given in the new Presbyterian church. At the conclusion of his talk, he announced next night's lecture would be given to "men only" because of the delicate nature of his subject matter. He was to talk about what really went on in the Sacrament of Confession behind those closed doors. The talk was entitled "Auricular Confession Exposed." This was too much for the Catholic people in and around Axtell. Since it was an open meeting for the men at the Methodist Church, a group of Catholic men attended. As the minister began his talk, a Catholic listener, Michael Bannan, objected. He was ordered to sit down and keep quiet. A few minutes later, another Catholic listener objected to the comments the minister was expressing. He too was ordered to keep quiet. At that point many of the Catholic men attending rushed toward the speaker's podium. The speaker was protected by some protestant members acting as his guards. Fists and billy clubs began flying. Even a revolver or two was produced, but no shots were fired by either side. In the ruckus that followed, two or three men were thrown out a window (before it was opened). The minister was also dispatched through the now open window. He sought safety in the town's hotel for a few hours and then caught the night train to a neighboring town. The townspeople truly worried about the minister's safety, so much had he upset the Catholic population.

After things were quieted in the church, the four main Catholic objectors were arrested and taken to Marysville where they were jailed. The Mayor and City Council were worried that this action would lead to an armed confrontation and so he sent two telegrams asking for assistance. One telegram went to Capt. Fluher, Company G, Third Regiment, State Militia. That Thursday evening, Company G, boarded a train at Marysville and came in full force to Axtell to act as peacemakers. They had their artillery pieces set up in the streets of Axtell, near the hotel. The other telegram went to Governor Humphrey in Topeka.

No more violence occurred that night. There were five or six injuries, but nothing serious. The Catholic objectors were all fined and released from jail. Rev. White came back at a later date and gave his talk without any further incidents. This action set religious tolerance back a bit in Axtell. The Protestants blamed the Catholics for disrupting a meeting and not allowing free speech. Catholics blamed the Protestants for willfully spreading lies about their faith and its sacraments. This was the last major religious disturbance in Axtell's history.

Obituary Notes.
The Rev. J. G. White, for sixty years a speaker and writer against the Roman Catholic Church, died yesterday at Stanford, Ill., aged eighty-seven. He was known as a violent and persistent assailant of the doctrines of the Church of Rome. He often was mobbed and rotten-egged. He was a regular minister of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church.
[Source: The New York Times April 24, 1899]

A letter from Rev. B. F. Lawrence pastor at Stanford, Ill, brings the following sad message, which reaches us just as we go to press: "Early Sunday morning, April 23. You may chronicle the death of Rev. J. G. White, who died at his home here last night." It is now too late to do more than merely mention the death of this venerable and great man, about whose valuable life and labors more will be said.
[Source: The Cumberland Presbyterian, April 27, 1899, page 523]

At Stanford, Ill., April 23, there occurred the death of J. G. White, D.D., another Cumberland Presbyterian whose name is known and whose great ability was recognized throughout the denomination. Dr. White was in his 81st year. Graduating from Illinois College [Jacksonville, Illinois] in 1840 he entered the ministry in the same year. It is said that more than 100 professions resulted under his ministry during the first six months of his experience. For several years following 1848 he labored in St. Louis where he got his first dislike for Roman Catholicism, a sentiment which largely influenced the rest of his life. For many years he has been recognized as among the leading American foes of the Catholic church. He has lectured against Romanism in many States and often apparently at the risk of his life. He has been a prolific writer of anti-Roman literature, and it was as such a writer and lecturer that he was most widely known during the latter years of his life. Earlier he was very zealous in promoting the growth of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church. At one time he was the missionary pastor in Evansville, Ind., and was for several years editor of "The Theological Medium." He remained in sentiment true to his church to the last and his name and memory will be cherished by thousands of our people.

In 1853 the Rev. J. G. White was laboring in Iowa as an independent evangelist, that is independent of any salary from church boards. The first camp-meeting of which mention is made was held by him and B. B. Bonham, August 1843, at Mount Pleasant. Thirteen professions were reported.

Like all the pioneer congregations in the new Territories, each of these Iowa Cumberland Presbyterian Churches embraced a large area, requiring several preaching places. In 1844 the Sangamon Synod ordered J. G. White, B. B. Bonham, Joseph Howard, and J. M. Stockton to constitute the Iowa Presbytery. In 1846 there were nine congregations represented in this presbytery.

The Rev. J. G. White became missionary at Saint Louis, November, 1848, and continued in this work until 1860, when he was succeeded by the Rev. L. C. Ransom.

History of First Cumberland Presbyterian Church, St. Louis, Mo.

Rev. J. G. White visited St. Louis as a Missionary, and preached his first sermon Dec. 31, 1848, in Corinthian Hall. On the 25th March, 1849, he organized a Sabbath-school with eight teachers and thirty-two scholars in the Odd Fellows Hall. On the 29th of April, with the aid of J. R. Lowrence, he organized the church, consisting of fourteen members.

Rev. J. G. White continued in charge of the congregation until January, 1860, when he resigned and the Board of Missions, at the request of the congregation, appointed Rev. L. C. Ransom, and he entered upon his labors, Feb. 22, 1860.
