Iowa Southwest / Jan 11, 1879
Died--On January 8th, 1879, Foster H. Whitney, aged 22 years 8 months and 4 
days.
Memory calls to mind the pale face of him who from youth was an invalid. Yet 
sickness taught an amiable patience, and inability to participate in the 
sports of playmates, prescuted study, resulting in that genuine manliness 
which made him a favorite.
He was indeed an exemplary youth, free from the vices so baneful to this 
generation and especially those of a similar age.
Possessed of fair talent and true merit, rarely developed under so many 
circumstances of the most trying and inflexible nature, had life been spared 
society would have been blessed with a member bringing integrity, private 
virtues and an earnest desire for a higher plane of social development.
May the life just ended be an example of benefit, and many take up the race 
where his column was broken.


Additional Comments:
I have no other information as she is not in my ancestral line.
