History - William S. Huntington died about 12:30 Thursday morning at the home of his mother, Mrs John D. Huntington, 96 State Street. Mr. Huntington was born in this city 50 years ago and he has spent much of his life here.

He was an expert dentist and a promoter and business man of high ability. Mr. Huntington qualified as a dentist when about 25 years of age, and entered into practice with his father, the late Dr. John D. Huntington, in this city. Later he went to New York, practicing there and in the South.

He was fond of travel and gratified his desire to such an extent that there are few countries in the world he had not visited. About five years ago Mr. Huntington returned to this city and assumed charge of the Ornamite Veneer Co., then having offices here.
