His passing is mourned by a family of ninety-one immediate relatives. Whiting was born in New York state and was brought here as a child when Oconto county was virgin forest. His family settled near Coillardville, and as soon as Whiting could wield an ax, he went to work in the woods, which he followed until cleared lands meant farms, and then he took up farming. During his time he worked upon several farms in the vicintiy of Cream City. Whiting is survived by his widow Bertha, six children, David Lorenzo Whiting, town of Stiles, Winslow Whiting, Cream City, Herbert Whiting, Cream City, Mrs. Micharel Exfred, Oconto, Mrs. Geo. Beauleau, Oconto Falls, Mrs. S. B Richer, Green Bay, also by 36 grandchildren and 48 great grand children. NOTE: Albert is the son of David Eustace Whiting and Elizabeth Upton Rider. Error in this one - 1880 census shows him born in Maine. Evidently he married twice as the census shows his wife as Addie.
