Portland Observer. 23 Jul 1936

Henry Hamilton Whitman, 69, died Monday at his home on Bridge street, following 
an illness of several months.  Funeral services were held Wednesday from the 
Bandfield funeral home, in charge of Rev. John H. Stewart.  Burial was made in 
Portland cemetery.

Mr. Whitman was born in Danby township April 3, 1867, where he spent the 
earlier years of his life.  When 22 years of age he was united in marriage to 
Miss Lavina Trail, the couple taking up their residence in Portland shortly 
afterwards.  After coming to this village Mr. Whitman was employed for a time 
in the Ramsey-Alton factory and it was while working there that he met with an 
accident that caused the loss of his thumb and crippled his right hand.  He 
later conducted a bakery here, continuing that vocation for a number of years.  
In 1919 he moved to Lansing, returning to Portland in 1930.  He was the son of 
Newell and Katherine Whitman, pioneer residents of Danby township.

Besides the widow Mr. Whitman is survived by one son, Dr. Fay Whitman, of 
Lansing, and one brother, Frank Whitman, of Portland.  The late Mrs. Orin Jones 
was a sister.
