HENRY T. WHITE - Born Stamford, Conn., in 1855; learned printing in New York city. Mr. White was working in Providence in 1883 when the movement that resulted in the reorganization of No. 33 was in progress and contributed very much to its success. His card was third on the list at the meeting of April 8; in 1907 he was a proofreader on the New York Herald. ISAAC H. WHITING - Born Norwich, Conn., April 26, 1823; served an apprenticeship to the printing business there with Marcus B. Young; came to Providence in 1840, 'just after the great ox-roasting on Smith's Hill,' working first on the New Age, a Dorrite sheet, and later on the Express. Afterward Mr. Whiting was foreman of the Woonsocket Patriot, and for 13 years, until 1861, was foreman of the General Advertiser, when he retired to his father-in-law's farm in North Kingstown. He remained on the farm but one year, when he again came to this city, working on the Evening Press as compositor and foreman. In a few years he returned to the farm, staying there until 1876, when Mr. S. S. Foss of Woonsocket started the Daily Patriot and employed Mr. Whiting as foreman. 'His fingers had been itching for the little types.' In a few months he left the Patriot and ended his career as a printer on the Providence Journal, retiring to the farm when his health began to give way. He died at his residence on Quidnesset Neck, between East Greenwich and Wickford, Sept. 9, 1888. It is supposed by suicide. At the funeral, which was from the old Dyer homestead at Davisville, Messrs. Fred B. Amsden and James Allen, the aeronaut, represented the craft as bearers. His body was conveyed to the family lot in a farm wagon, accompanied by a large number of friends and neighbors. In 1846 Mr. Whiting married Lydia A. Dyer, eldest daughter of Samuel D. Dyer of North Kingstown. Mr. Whiting's name stands at the head of the list of initiations into Providence Union, April 18, 1857." continued in part 196.
