Elizabeth Coleman White
Elizabeth Coleman White (October 5, 1871 – November 11, 1954) was a New Jersey agricultural specialist who collaborated with Frank Coville to develop and commercialize a cultivated blueberry.
==Biography==
Elizabeth Coleman White was the oldest of four daughters of two Quaker parents, Mary A. Fenwick-White and Joseph J. White. She was the only one to remain unmarried to pursue the family's agricultural interest. After 1887, White worked in the bogs helping to supervise cranberry pickers during the fall harvest and was soon deeply involved in the farm's operations. During the winters, White continued her education with courses in first aid, photography, dressmaking, and millinery at Drexel University. White belonged to several organizations, including being the first woman to become member of the American Cranberry Association and the first woman to receive a citation from the New Jersey Department of Agriculture.
White died of cancer in Whitesbog, New Jersey, on November 27, 1954, at the age of 83. She was cremated at Ewing Crematory in Ewing Township, New Jersey. Her ashes were distributed by airplane over the headwaters of Whitesbog in accordance to her will.
