John White, 1st Baron Overtoun
John Campbell White, 1st Baron Overtoun JP, DL (21 November 1843 – 15 February 1908), was a Scottish chemical manufacturer, supporter of religious causes, philanthropist and Liberal politician.
==Background and education==
White was born at Hayfield, near Rutherglen, Lanarkshire, the only son of James White of Overtoun (1812-1884), by Fanny Campbell, daughter of Alexander Campbell, of Barnhill, Dunbartonshire, Sheriff of Renfrewshire. He had six sisters. His father was originally a lawyer, who had left the legal profession to join John & James White, chemical manufacturers, a firm founded by his father and uncle at Rutherglen in 1810. James Smith was chief administrator of the fund set up for the sufferers of the City of Glasgow Bank collapse in 1878. After his death citizens of Glasgow erected a statue of him at Cathedral Square, Glasgow. John White was educated at Stow's Academy, Glasgow, and at the University of Glasgow. He won prizes in both logic and natural philosophy. He came into close contact with William Thomson, the future Lord Kelvin, and worked in his laboratory for a year.〔(Who's Who in Glasgow in 1909: THE LATE RIGHT HON. BARON OVERTOUN )〕
