When twenty-one years old, he began to prepare for the ministry, but his health failed before he had finished his sophomore year at college, in 1837; after which he taught school for several years, and, since 1848, was mostly engaged as a bookkeeper and cashier--four years in New York City, and the rest of the time in Stamford, Conn. While at Middletown, Conn., 5 Nov. 1873, he was stricken with paralysis, which rendered him entirely helpless. He returned to his home in Stamford, where he fell senseless from his chair, while reading the Bible, 28 June 1876, and died three hours later. He was a most worthy and excellent man, of rare integrity and sense of honor, and has left a precious memory. He was greatly interested in the progress of this work, and generously placed at the disposal of the author a partial record of the descendants of his great-grandparents, David and Elizabeth (Hyatt) Whitney, which as begun by his father and greatly enlarged by himself.
