I meant to respond to the original post of the obit at the time, but must have had a senior moment! This Calvin E[astman]. Whitney was my great-uncle, the son of Albion Paris Whitney of Petaluma, CA, who was b. 1825 in Corinth ME, and d. 1884 in San Francisco, CA (William5, Samuel6, Abner5, John4, Isaiah3, Thomas2 John1). Calvin was born in 1821 in Maine. Esther Mott in California

Hi Esther - I have obtained lots of information from reading archived newspapers, so I have decided from now on to post to the WRG website obits that have some substance. Since finding Calvin's obit and receiving your e-mail I have attempted to find it once again to verify the date of death. As has happened before I cannot find the newspaper. I have noted in two places that the year was 1881, but it easily could be a reado and was 1884. Did you know before how he died tragically? carol >From: "Esther Mott" <emott6@comcast.net> >Reply-To: whitney@rootsweb.com >To: <WHITNEY@rootsweb.com> >Subject: [WHITNEY] Obit of Calvin E.
