He practiced law in Syracuse, New York with the White & Ryan firm for 16 years and later independently, while also managing his family's real estate holdings [Andrew Strong White and Claire Howard White papers, #2512.

White married twice in his life, first to Anna L. Belden, and later to the professional lyric soprano singer[Nellie] Claire Howard in 1918. A portrait of his second wife can be found in the Andrew D.
