    Notes:

    From "An Illustrated History of North Idaho"

    "SILAS O. WHITING has mined in all the prominent camps on the Salmon and while he has property interests in various places especially around Florence, he has his permanent headquarters at Mt. Idaho. He was born in Somerset county, Maine, between Augusta and Bangor, on April 14,1837, the son of Leonard and Hannah (Dyer) Whiting'. The father, who was born in Maine in 1808, was a stone cutter and his father was a native of Massachusetts, settling in Maine among the first pioneers and was also a patriot in the Revolution. Leonard Whiting came to California in 1852 and settled in Nevada county, where he mined and operated mills for many year's. The mother of our subject was born in Maine and died in 1839. Silas O. was "educated in his native place and worked on the farm until he was twenty-two, when he came to California, Nevada county ; 'there he remained for thirty years, freighting and mining."

    In 1889 he came to the vicinity of Cheney, Washington, then to Spokane and engaged in lumbering three years. In 1895 he removed to Idaho county and went on mining in the Pierce district. Then he came to Canas prairie and rented a farm near Grangeville. Two years later we find him in Florence, where he has oprated much of the time since. He was watchman of the Poorman mine and was one year and one-half at the Blossom. In the meantime he was interested in Bear creek country and had a share in the famous Kimberly and Jewell, which recently sold for $65,000. He now owns independent claims in the Jewell group. He also has property on one of the best leads there, has a third interest in "the Gold Lake placer in Florence.

    In 1864, in Nevada City; California, Mr. Whiting married Miss Maria Buzzell, who was born in Penobscot county, Maine. Four children were born to this union, two of whom are still living. Bertrand D. and Nellie Everland, both in San Francisco. Mr. Whiting is a master Mason, joining the lodge in 1864, and is a Republican. Mr. Whiting has had much experience in the various camps of California and he believes the Bear creek district is ahead of any of them.
