The Dapper Herbert H. White, Cambridge, Mass., 1891

Written on the reverse of the cabinet card: 
"Then she wanted to see my locket
then for me to sing a song
and all the time she was picking my pocket
Of my gold watch and my meerschaum.

Oct 1 --1891
Herbert H. White^"

Herbert H. White was the son of Henry and Henrietta (Hill) White, born the 29th of June 1869, Rye, New York¹.  Herbert's mother, Henrietta, appears in an earlier post where I pieced together information about the White family. 

Herbert graduated from  Harvard University in 1893.  Two years later, on October 1, 1895,  he married twenty-year-old Clarissa Watts Lewis, of Boston, daughter of Charles & Emma Lewis².  Herbert was the Treasurer of University Press in Cambridge, MA for many years. 

In the 1940 census, 70-year-old Herbert is listed as "retired" and is living in Marblehead, Essex, Massachusetts, with wife Clarissa³.
