Died exactly 85 years old, almost to the hour
The funeral services were conducted by Rev. Zimmerman and he was laid to rest im Riverview Cemetery, where it was always his desire to be buried.
Mr. Whitney was married on February 24, 1847, at Olean, New York to Miss Louisa M. Moses. In 1856 they moved to Illinois and in 1870 came to Scandia,Kansas where they settled on the farm east of town, part of which is now occupied by Whitney's Addition.
Mr. Whitney served more than three years as a soldier in the Civil War and had three enlistments to his credit. He responded to Lincoln's first call for troops for 90 days enlisting April 30, 1861 in Co. A Independent Illinois Cavalry and being discharged July 30, 1861. He re-enlisted Sept. 17, 1861 and served until Dec. 27, 1862. His third enlistment was August 29, 1864, in the 146th Ill. Vol. Infantry, from which he was mustered out at the close of the war with the rank of Commissary Sergeant.
A continuous resident of Scandia for more than a third of a century, besides many friends of long standing, he leaves to mourn his death, his wife and four children; Mrs. Charles Isbell of Correctionville, Iowa, Leroy Whitney of Spencer, Iowa, A. L. Whitney and Mrs. Frank Cullers of this place.
Hiw was a long life. When he came into the world, Monroe had not enunciated his now famous "Doctrine,", the Missouri Compromise was in the future, steam railroads were unknown, Chicago an Indian trading ost and the whole West a trackless wilderness.
