They were fined $500, plus court costs. Six of them, The Erie 6, wouldn’t pay and went to jail.

Interestingly, two of White’s 10 children are in the armed services. An article on GoErie.com quotes White as saying:

“My debt to society is paid through active citizenship,” she said. “There are worse things, both in heaven and on Earth, than going to prison for that which I believe.”
