Ex-Infirmary Director A. J. Whitney, the most prominent and wealthy citizen of 
Union county died suddenly Wednesday morning of apoplexy, Mr. Whitney was born 
in Susquehanna county, Pennsylvania, November 23, 1829, and came to Marysville 
in 1859 and engaged in the dry goods business until 1876, when he organized 
the People's Bank, and became president, a position he held until the time of 
his death. Mr. Whitney was considerably interested in stock, and was the first 
man in Union county to import Jersey cows here. Mr. Whitney was twice married, 
the first time to Miss Ruby Tuttle, a native of Pennsylvania, in Feb., 1858. 
She died in 1870, leaving two children. He was again married, to Miss Kate 
Peck of Milford, Conn., and three children were born to their union, only one 
of whom, with the mother, survives him.
Mr. Whitney owns several business houses and real estate properties besides 
valuable farm lands. His funeral will occur Friday morning at 9 o'clock at his 
late residence on Sixth street, Rev. David Bowers officiating, and the remains 
will be interred in Oakdale cemetery.
