CAPTAIN C.C. WHITING BIO
1832 , Cynthiana, Posey, Indiana, USA
CAPTAIN C.C. WHITING, ex-Assessor of Gibson County, was born in Cynthiana, Posey County, Indiana, February 2, 1832. His father, Clement Whiting, was born in Fredericksburg, Virginia, October 12, 1789; removed to Kentucky, thence to Indiana in 1818 and settled in Cynthiana, Posey County, where he followed agricultural pursuits and general merchandising.
He [Clement, father of the subject] was twice married, first marrying a Miss Endicott, and secondly Miss Sarah Nash, who was born September 5, 1803, and was the mother of the subject of this review. By his first marriage Clement Whiting became the father of the following children: Susan J., William J., Nancy E., and John S., all of whom are deceased [1897]. John S. Whiting was a physician and was a soldier in both the Mexican War and the Civil War.
Unto the second marriage of Clement Whiting there were born the following children: Charles Covat, the subject of this sketch; Sarah E.; Mary A.; Margaret J.; Jesse T.M., who served in the Civil War as a Sergeant in Company F, Eightieth Indiana Regiment and was killed at the battle of Resacca on May 14, 1864; Lydia A.; James P., who served also in the Civil War in Company F, Eightieth Indiana, and died shortly after the war from sickness contracted in the army.
The father and mother of these children were people of sterling qualities, and were pioneers of this section of Indiana. The Whiting family, by inter-marriages, is related to the Washington, the Fairfax, the Montague, the Beverly and other prominent Virginia families.
Captain C.C. Whiting was reared in Posey County; was given a common school education, and his labors of youth were on the farm. In October of 1855, he married Louisiana, daughter of Dr. J.R. Craig, and settled down in life on a farm. He continued farming until the Civil War came on, and responding to the call for troops in defense of the Union, Mr. Whiting enlisted in Company A, Fifty-eighth Indiana infantry.
He participated in the closing of the battle of Shiloh, and his first regular engagement was at the battle of Stone River. He was seriously wounded in said battle. He had also participated in the siege of Corinth. He bore a part in the battles of Chickamauga and Mission Ridge and in the relief of Knoxville, Tennessee; also in the Atlanta campaign. His regiment was detailed as a pontoon corps after the fall of Atlanta, and Captain Whiting supervised the construction of bridges along the route of Sherman’s army by way of Savannah, Georgia, from Atlanta to Washington, D.C., where he participated in the grand review of the Union army.
Mr. Whiting entered the service as a private and was made First Sergeant, and was in turn commissioned Second Lieutenant, First Lieutenant, Adjutant of the regiment and Captain of Company A, the promotions being well merited by reason of his gallant conduct and bravery on the field of battle. He is now a member of the Grand Army of the Republic, Archer Post, No. 28, and Lodge 231, F. & A. M.
On the close of the war Captain Whiting returned home and later settled in Gibson County where he has become a popular and widely known citizen. He has always been an enthusiastic and stalwart republican. In 1868 he was elected County Treasurer, which office he filled with much satisfaction to the people of the county. Afterward he served as a real estate appraiser for school fund purposes, and in 1891 was appointed County Assessor to fill a vacancy, and after serving eighteen months in that capacity was elected in 1892 to the office, which he held for four years thereafter. He is a loyal American citizen, and possesses these sterling qualities everywhere commanding respect. Mr. and Mrs. Whiting’s children are these: Jessie C.; Sallie A.; Ella M., deceased; Dr. Charles O., deceased; and Maggie A., deceased.
