If long service in public life be taken by a legislator as an approval of the representative's acts while serving his constituents, then the subject of our sketch stands forth as the most thoroughly endorsed amongst our many able statesmen and lawmakers.
Lorenzo Dow Whiting was born at Arcadia, Wayne county, New York, November 19, 1819, son of Samuel and Zilpha Whiting, Ins mother being a lineal descendent of Cotton Mather. His grand-father, Samuel Whiting, was a soldier in the revolution. History of Bridgewater p. 352

HENRY CLAY WHITING, Ph. D., professor of Latin in Dickinson College, Carlisle, Pa., is a son of Samuel and Mary (Keeney) Whiting, and was born at Speedville, Tompkins county. New York, March 27, 1845. The Whitings are of English origin and are decended from three brothers who left England on account of re- ligious persecution and came to this coun- try at an early day. One located in
Biographical and Portrait Cyclopedia. Boston, the second settled in Virginia, and the third made a home for himself in the far South. Dr. Whiting is a member of the Boston branch of the Whiting fam- ily and his grandfather, Samuel Whiting, removed from Boston to Speedville, New York, where he continued to reside until his death, which occurred in 1851, at the age of sixty-seven years. His son, Samuel Whiting, was the eldest of a large family of children and first saw the light of day in Boston, on March 6, 1816. He removed to New York, and became a leading business man there, where he died November 6, 1875. He was an active Methodist and temperance man, being a trustee and one of the chief officials of his church and a leading and influential member of his Lodge, Sons of Temperance. Mr. Whiting married Mary Keeney, who was a daughter of William Keeney, of Speedville, New York, and passed away June 16, 1848, aged 24 years, leaving two children: Dr. Henry Clay and Josephine G., who married Daniel Smith and is now dead. Dr. Whiting was thrown upon his own re- sources during his youthful days and after attending Oswego and Ithaca Academies he entered Union College, Schenectady, N. Y., from which he was graduated in the class of 1867. Leaving college he served as principal of Franklin Academy, Prattsburg, New York, for one year, and of the classi- cal department of the Schenectady Union schools for two years and then entered Drew Theological Seminary. In this institution (Drew) he also served as Adj-Professor of Ancient Language for four years at Madison, New Jersey, from which he was graduated in 1873. After graduation he served as professor of an- cient languages in Centenary Collegiate In- stitute of Hackettstown, New Jersey, from 1874 to 1878, as vice-president of Penning- ton Seminary, of Pennington, New Jersey, for one year, and in June, 1879, was elected Professor of Latin and German in Dickin- son College, CarHsle, Pennsylvania. Four years later he was elected Professor of Latin alone and has brought his department up to a high standard of efficiency and excellence. Dr. Whiting was graduated from Ithaca Academy and while at Union College was a member of Phi Beta Kappa and Psi Upsilon Societies and President of the Philomethean Society, be- sides serving as editor of the Union College magazine and acting as captain of its base ball nine. He has served since 1885 as treasurer of Dickinson College. In 1886 he formed the first chapter there of the Phi Beta Kappa Society in the State of Penn- sylvania and became the President. On November 21, 1867 Dr. Whiting mar- ried Mary Louise Freeman, a daughter of J. R. Freeman, of Schenectady, New York, and to their union have been born six chil- dren: Henry F., adjunct professor of Latin and Mathematics in Dickinson College; Leonora; Earl, deceased; Helen; Mabel, deceased, and Paul. Dr. Whiting is a member of St. John's Lodge, Free and Accepted Masons, and is interested in the Lindner Shoe Com- pany, which he helped to organize in 1892, and of which he served as president and tieasurer for some time. He is a trustee and steward of Allison Memorial Metho- dist Episcopal church of Carlisle, and is also a member of the Central Pennsyl- vania Conference. Dr. Whiting aside from his immediate collegiate duties has written much of interest and usefulness. He is the author of an edition of "Seneca's Morals," published by Harper Brother in 1875, and has besides contributed several articles to McClintock and Strong's Theological En- cyclopedia. He furnishes numerous articles to the general press. Dr. Whiting received the degree of A. B. from Union College in NiKETEENTH CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT.
