Portrait Biographical Album of Calhoun Co., Michigan [Chicago, Chapman Bros. 1891]
The lady whom our subject won for his wife was Miss Augusta Whiting, a native of Rockland, Plymouth County, Mass., with whom he was joined in matrimonial bonds June 14, 1876. The date of her birth was May 25, 1844. Her parents having come to this State, she attended Albion College and was graduated in the Class of '63. She subsequently took a post-graduate course of one year. She is a lady of high literary qualifications and of ability in preparing music for the press, and has put her talents to good use in preparing articles for the press and in work done for literary societies. She spent three years in the lecture field, and ably assisted her brother in his work as a lecturer, composer and author, and has herself published articles in Eastern periodicals and music books. Her literary productions, aside from the work done for societies, are mainly to be found in the "Banner of Light,'' and her music in the "Spiritual Harp." She is interested in all reforms, and has a prominent place in the social life of the neighborhood.
The father of Mrs. Anthony was Albert Whiting, a native of Rockland, Mass., and a shoe manufacturer in his native State. The family record from the middle of the seventeenth century is as follows: James Whiting, of Hingham, Mass., married Mary Beals in 1647, and in 1658 received a land grant in the town. His house was burned by the Indians in 1676. He died in 1710 leaving a large landed estate in Hingham, Scituate, Abington and Hanover. His son, James, Jr., born July 15, 1651, died February 20, 1725, after a lifelong residence in Hingham; Benjamin Whiting, born in 1693, and a son of the above, married Sarah Tower in 1716 and settled at Queen Anne's Corners. His son Thomas, born January 29, 1718, married Lydia Pratt and settled on Whiting Street, Hanover, being one of the earliest residents there. He died September 23, 1793, and his son Thomas kept up the home in Hanover. The latter was born June 3, 1743, married Rachel Peakes in November, 1770, and died December 13,1805. He had six children, the fourth of whom was Charles, who was baptized
June 27, 1784, and married Betsey Pool, of Abington. The oldest child of this couple was Albert, father of Mrs. Anthony.
The mother of Mrs. Anthony bore the maiden name of Rachel G. Bennett. Her marriage to Mr. Whiting was solemnized in East Bridgewater, Mass., March 8, 1835, and her home was made in Rockland until 1853, when they came to Michigan. They settled in Brooklyn, Jackson County, and the husband engaged in farming until his death, which occurred in 1859. His widow removed to Albion in 1860, and died there in 1874. Mr. Whiting possessed strong mental powers and an even temperament; he was a Free-thinker. The mother of Mrs. Anthony traces her paternal line back to very early times in England. The first of the family to come to America settled in Abington, Mass., and was of the fourth generation prior to herself. Nathaniel Bennett, of the next generation, was a soldier in the Revolutionary War, and died of disease during the service. His son George served through the War of 1812, and finally died of consumption. His fourth child was Mrs. Whiting. The maternal grandmother of Mrs. Anthony was Leah Gardner, who was connected with the English families of Marlborough, North Guilford and Dudley.
Mr. and Mrs. Whiting were the parents of three children, one of whom died in childhood. Those who grew to maturity were Albert Bennett and Augusta, now the wife of our subject. Albert was born December 14, 1835, received a common-school education and spent one year in a private academy. He began lecturing when but eighteen years old, and continued in the lecture field about eighteen years. He was unusually eloquent, and his phenomenal powers as a medium brought him prominently before the people in most of the large cities of the Union. He atone time submitted to a most thorough examination before Harvard professors, and much interest attached to a debate on spiritualism which took place at Decatur, this State, between him and the Rev. Joseph Jones, a minister in the Methodist Church. Mr. Whiting often improvised poems upon subjects given him by persons in his audience. A large number of his poems were set to music by himself, and published by Peters, of New York. He also published a work called "Religion and Morality." His biography, written by his sister, was published by William White & Co., of Boston, in 1872. This brilliant man was called to try the realities of the other world in September, 1871.
