He was a bright, studious, intelligent, active young man, a great favorite with his schoolmates and teacher, and in fact with everyone with whom he came in contact. He graduated from the academy last June, and at the time of his illness was busy studying with a view of taking a college course and fitting himself for some profession. He was the life of his own home circle, and his death, unexpected as it was, has proved a severe blow to his family. "The remaining members of the family are Marcus L. of Hawley, Mrs. John Hawkins, Mrs. James Smith, Mariner T. Whitney, Jr., of the firm of Watson & Whitney, Emma and Galen B. Whitney, all of this village, and Eugene Whitney of Pompton Junction. "The family have been sadly afflicted during the past six weeks, Mrs. Whitney, her two sons, Galen and Howell, and Miss Emma, all being confined to their beds at the same time by typhoid fever. At present Mrs. Whitney and Emma are still sick, and the loss of Howell, it is feared, will prove a severe shock to their already weakened nervous system."
