FRANK WHITNEY, meat market, Hesperia, was born in Muskegon County, this State, 
May 19, 1858.  He is a son 

of Orin and Mary E. (Cook) Whitney, natives of Ohio, who emigrated to Kent 
County and thence to Muskegon 

County, this State.

Mr. Whitney lived at home and assisted his father on the farm, also attending 
school, until 1881.  April, 

19 of that year, he was married to Miss Addie, daughter of Robert and Anna 
(Hoffman) Robinson, natives of 

Scotland and Ohio, respectively, and came to Muskegon County, this State, 
where Addie was born Oct. 6, 

1862, and where she received the advantages of a common-school education.

After his marriage, Mr. Whitney went to farming for himself, in Newfield, 
Oceana County, and remained in 

that County until July, 1883, when he came to Hesperia, this county, and 
established a meat market, and 

where, by honest and fair dealing, he has gained the confidence of the people 
and is doing a good 

business.
