The Portland Review, Tuesday, December 8, 1936

Claud Whitney, whose boyhood days were spent in Portland, died a few days ago 
at Souix City, Ia., where he had resided for some time.  Claud was the son of 
the late George W. Whitney and the family for many years lived in the house 
now occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Edward Meyers, one block north of St. Patrick 
church.  News of Mr. Whitney’s death was received in a telegram by Dr. Austin 
Hart, former Portland resident, who now resides on a farm near Grand Ledge. 
Dr. Hart’s wife, who died last September, was a sister of Mr. Whitney.

During his youthful days Mr. Whitney learned the printer’s trade in Portland 
and followed it for many years.  He was a cornetist of rare ability and used 
to play in the Portland band.  He was about 63 years old.

No details of his death were given in the telegram and Mr. Hart had not 
previously been notified of his illness.  Mr. Whitney is survived by his 
widow, who maiden name was Faye Vonstine, formerly of Fort Dodge, Ia., and one 
son, Robert, who is 22 years of age.
