Born on homeplace near Hickory Nut Mountain. Buried in Oak Hill Cemetery.

Carmia was her name given at birth. After her parents death, all her sisters
were separated into various homes. She stayed with an aunt, Cora Nevada
(Moffitt) Vess (Mrs. Canney Vess) on Crooked Creek. Later she moved and lived
with a woman who called her Connie Eldora. By the time she married Henry
Thomas White, she had changed her name again to Connie Etta, as her children
knew her.

Connie Etta met her husband while she was a waitress working in Old Fort,
McDowell, North Carolina, in a boarding house where Henry Thomas White was
living. Before they were married, they had purchased a house and then were
married. Four years later their home is where Ralph C. White was born. All
children were born in this house. The house still stands and has been kept in
excellent condition by the present owner.

According to her sister, Carrie Lee, Carmia was headstong and beligerent and
that at one time Bailey Nesbitts took her for some time in her home, but
couldn't make her happy.

Carmia is buried in the same plot with her husband and his second wife in Oak
Hill Cemetery. Their child separates Carmia from her husband.
