Sylvanus was a Soldier in 2 campaigns in the Revolutionary War, against Bourgogne in 1777 and against Arnold, who burned his home town in South Connecticut in 1780. Three brothers, John, Sylvanus and Samuel were partners in a blacksmith and wagon-making shop and a mill in the edge of Lee township against Tyringham twp, Berkshire, MA. Samuel died 6 Mar 1813. The farm was valued at $35 per acre. The estate was settled and by 1815 Sylvanus and John had moved to Nelson twp, Portage, OH. When Sylvanus applied for a Revolutionary Pension in 1820, his 160 acres was valued at $3 per acre. Connecticut kept the NE corner of Ohio for Revolutionary Soldiers as the "Western Reserve".

In 1814 the Hulets' moved from Lee, Berkshire, MA to Nelson, Portage, OH. They were baptised Mormons in Oct 1831. About 1831 they moved to Independence, Jackson, MO. Oct 31, 1833 mobs drove them north across the Missouri River into Clay County. In 1836 they moved north into Far West, Caldwell, MO. In early spring 1839 they moved to Melrose, Lima twp, IL, about 30 miles south of Nauvoo. In the fall of 1845 mobs drove them into Nauvoo. In 1846 they were driven into Iowa, later coming to the Salt Lake Valley.

!Patricia Skinner (4 - 2000) patty555@webtv.net "Sylvanus bought land in Lee, Massachusetts and Great Barrington in 1800. He stayed in that vicinity until approximately 1812, when he boutht land in the new frontier - Ohio. He moved to Portage, Ohio. He married Mary (Polly) Lewis. Sylvanus' children were among the early members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormon). He and Polly had 4 children. They were: (1) Sally, born 29 Oct 1787 who married Elisha Whiton (Whiting) on 18 Sep 1806, (2) Charles, born 3 Mar 1790 who married Anna Taylor on 22 Jun 1814 in Lee, Massachusetts. Anna died a year later. Charles then married Margaret Noah on 10 Oct 1816 in Portage, Ohio. Margaret died on 15 Apr 1851 of Dithers disease. On 24 Jan 1852 Charles married Cinthia Clyde. Shortly thereafter, Cinthia divorced him. In 1857 Charles married Eleanor Jenkins. During his marriage he took a second wife, which was the custom of the Mormons in those days. Her name was Mary Lawson. They were married 1 Jan 1858. Mary died in an accident while crossing the plains. By his 5 wives Charles had 7 children. (3) Charlott, born 7 Nov 1792 (4) Rhoda, born 8 Jun 1795. Those were the children listed as born in Lee Vital Records. Other children I have found born to him and Mary (Polly) are (5) Sylvester, born about 1800 (6) Francis, born about 1803, and (7) Mary, born about 1805. Sylvanus can be found in the tax list for Hiram, Portage County in 1817 and 1818. In 1819 and 1820 I have found him in the tax list for Nelson, Portage County, Ohio. He applied for a Soldier's Pension on 14 Jun 1819 while living in Nelson. Many in his family moved to Missouri and then later to Utah.

John's brother Samuel married Susannah Wadsworth on 3 Jun 1789 in Tyringham, Massachusetts. He began buying land in Lee and Great Barrington in the year 1800. While living in Lee they had 4 chidren: (1) Chauncey born 14 Mar 1790, (2) Electa, born 3 May 1793, (3) Orren, born 17 May 1796, (4) (the only thing known about the 4th child is that it passed away at 7 AM on 6 Mar 1808. When malaria hit the area in 1813, every family was affected. Samuel and Susannah died a week apart as a result of the deadly illness. Chauncey is found in the same tax lists in Ohio that his uncle Sylvanus lived in.

John's youngest brother, Asa married a girl named Freelove. Her last name is unknown at this time. They had at least 3 children that we know of: (1) Mary, born about 1781 and (2) Asa, born about 1786. Both children joined the short-lived Shaker religion. (3) Calvin, born about 1792. Asa and his family moved to Barrington, Berkshire County, Massachusetts. Freelove died in 1807. Asa remarried on 8 Mar 1812 at Onondaga, New York to Polly Austin. On 8 Jan 1838 he applied for a Soldiers Pension in Livingston County, New York. At least two different dates can be found for his date of death in Russia, Lorain County, Ohio. They are 8 Oct 1846 and 18 Jun 1847. Calvin lived in Leslin, Ingham County, Michigan in 1853. John's sister Mary married her 1st cousin, Seth Hulet on 19 Jun 1764 in Killingly, Connecticut. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Noadiah Russell. Seth was born to Oliver Hulet and his wife Sarah. Oliver was a brother of John Julet (Sr.), also Mary's uncle. While living in Killingly, Seth and Mary had 3 children: (1) Alpheus, born 11 Jan 1765 and baptized 29 Nov 1767 in Thompson, (2) Sybil, born 16 Aug 1767 and baptized 29 Nov 1767 in the church at Thompson. Their Grandmother, Oliver's wife did not live to see them. She passed away in Killingly on 3 Feb 1759. Seth enlisted in the Revolutionary War in 1777. He moved to Tyringham, Massachusetts, where Mary's family had moved to at an earlier date. Seth can be found in the Tyringham, Massachusetts land records between 1796 and 1803. In 1803 he moved to Westmoreland, New York, where he applied for a Soldiers Pension on 7 Aug 1832.

John's sister, Experience married Henry Herrick in Tyringham, Massachusetts on 12 Dec 1776. In May 1777 a daughter is listed as born to them, however no name is given. Henry died in Tyringham on 6 May 1827. I have found no further record of Experience to date.

John married Sarah Howe, and was converted to the Methodist religion. He and his father were both constantly buying land, even when they were not living in the immediate area. The younger John and his wife, Sarah, lived in Tyringham until a year after the war was over. During this time their first child was born. It was a girl, whom they named Achsah, born on 5 May 1784. She was only one of a long line of children to come. Achsah married Seymore Chapin.

Death of Mary Lewis Hulet
Sally's mother, Mary Lewis Hulet, went through all the hardships the Saints went through in Missouri before she died in Clay County, probably in 1837.
Two of her daughters, Charlotte and Rhoda, died in Missouri; martyrs for the faith. Only Sally, of Mary's daughters, lived to leave Missouri.
Caldwell County
Growing resentment from their Clay County neighbors caused the Saints to agree once again to give up their land and many possessions, and move as a body to Caldwell County, where they soon founded the new settlement they named Far West.

Before and After Mt. Pisgah page 71
The greater part of the Hulet family, together with their grandson and nephew, William E. Whiting, his wife and young son arrived in Jackson County, Missouri in 1832. Lyman Wight and Christian Whitmer lived six miles west of Independence. The Hulets became their neighbors. That would indicate that the Hulets lived about six miles west of the Big Blue River.

All of the tragic events recorded in the Documentary History of the Church of the first four days in November 1833 cannot be repeated here. (D.H.C. Vol. I pages 247- 431)

Before and After Mt. Pisgah page 74-75
Monday November 4th, a mob of about one hundred armed men took possession of the Latter-day Saint ferryboat on the Big Blue. They soon abandonded the ferry and went ton west to Wilson's store. Nineteen young Mormons from west of there heard that their help was needed. Approaching the store, they saw that they were greatly outnumbered. They fled back west again with the mobbers in pursuit. The young men hid in the corn fields at the Whitmer Settlement sometimes called the Settlement on the Blue. It should be remembered that the Whitmers were witnesses to the Book of Mormon. The mob held Christian Whitmer prisoner, threatening him with death if he did not tell where the young men were.
With the mob molesting the families at the Whitmer Settlement, David Whitmer and Newel Knight rushed to the Coleville Branch (about three miles west) and called for help. Among those standing guard at the mill were Philo Dibble and Henry A. Cleveland. They and some others went immediately to the relief at the Whitmer Settlement. By that time the mob was tearing down the house of Christian Whitmer. It was about sunset. David Whitmer divided the Mormon men into two groups. Known to be in the Mormon company of about 30 men were: the Whitmers, David and Jacob, also Charles Hulet, Sylvester Hulet, Nathan West and their nephew William Whiting, Hyrum Page, King Follet, John Forman, John Poorman, Sheffield Daniels, Andrew Barber, Philo Dibble, Henry A. Cleveland, also Father Brace, a Revolutionary soldier. (Those were later listed by Philo Dibble -- 5 April 1861.)....
Seeing the approach of the Mormons, Brazeale shouted, "The Mormons are for fight: give them hell!" Two or three guns were then fired by the mobbers. The Mormons answered with a general discharge. Brazeale and Thomas Linvill of the mob were Killed. The mob fired again and Henry Cleveland was wounded in the shoulder. Philo Dibble was hit in the abdomen with an ounce ball and two buckshot. Jacob Whitmer was wounded in the wrist and William Whiting in the foot.

Before and After Mt. Pisgah page 80
The details of how William Whiting escaped out of the area, being wounded, with a wife and three small children, were ot kept in family records. Neither was the story told of the sufferings ofhis aged grandmother, Mary Lewis Hulet, when she fled from Jackson County.

William Whiting died in Clay County, Missouri 21 October 1834 and left Lydia with three small children.

William Whiting, Edwin’s oldest brother, (*5) has been reported being killed during the “Battle of the Blue”, but Lydia, his wifes account helps explain his death a year after the battle. “The mob came with a large company hunting for and shooting at our men: they feeling it their duty to stand in the defense of their wives and [----] children, as well as themselves, returned the fire. My husband [----} received a ball through his foot, which mangled the bones and caused him great distress and it was a great while a healing and I fear his hardships and privations was the cause of his death which happened the next October…My husband was ever afflicted with the same until his death.

HISTORY: (Compiled by Jennie Bird Hill, daughter of Abby Ann Whiting, daughter
of Edwin and Hannah Whiting- 1919) "About the year 1800, in the
little town of Lee, Berkshire County, Massachusetts, near the border of New
York, lived the family of Elisha and Sally Hulett Whiting. Elisha Whiting's
father was a sea captain and lived in Connecticut. He died when Elisha was
very young. His mother, not knowing what else to do, bound him to an old
Quaker, who was very cruel to him, and after a few years, he ran away to
Massachusetts and worked on a farm with a wheelwright. Here he was married to
Sally Hulett. They were highly respected, honest, generous and firm in their
convictions.
Elisha Whiting followed the trade of wagon and chair maker and did his work
well. His wife was very gifted in making prose and poetry, a characteristic
that has been bequeathed to many of the Whiting descendants. To Elisha and
Sally Whiting, twelve children were born, eight sons and four daughters as
follows: (1) Charles, (2) William, (3) Edwin, (4) Charles, (5) Katherine
Louisa, (6) Harriet, (7) Sally Emeline, (8) Chauncey, (9) Almond, (10) Jane,
(11) Sylvester, and (12) Lewis.
Edwin Whiting was born September 9, 1809, the third child of this family.
When he was six years old, his parents moved to Nelson, Portage County, Ohio.
At that time, it was the western frontier of the U.S.A. but probably the very
place his father wished to be to get a suitable timber for his trade and for
support of his large family.
Edwin Whiting's chance for education was very limited, but they were all
taught the "3 R's", Readin', Ritin', and Rithmetic, and he wrote an legible
hand, an extrordinary feat for his time. At an early age, he wrote credible
verse.
His early life in the forest, no doubt, accounts for his love of the
out-of-doors, the beauties of nature, the trees, the flowers, the mountains and
the desire to hunt.
One Sunday morning, when but a small boy, he decided to go hunting. He knew
this was contrary to his parent's teachings, so he tried to draw his gun
through the cracks between the logs of his bedroom and go unmolested. His gun
caught and was discharged, inflicting a serious wound in his left arm. This,
he said, was a lesson to observe the Sabbath Day and to obey his parents.
He learned the chair making trade from his father and his workmanship was
considered very good.
In 1833, when Edwin was twenty-four years old, he married Elizabeth
Partridge Tillotson, an Ohio girl of French descent. She was a highly educated
school teacher, quite an accomplishment for those days.
In 1837, the Gospel was brought to the Whiting family. Edwin and his wife,
his father and mother and some of his brothers and sisters joined the Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. They were baptized by Thomas Marsh in 1838.
Here, as in the time of Christ and His Apostles, the humble, hard-working class
of people were the ones to listen and accept the Gospel of truth.
They were among the early members of our church and soon joined the saints
in Kirtland, Ohio. It was here that their trials, hardships and persecutions
began and it took true manhood, womanhood, and faith in God to endure. They
were forced to leave their new comfortable home, complete with furniture,
orchards and land in Kirtland, Ohio and took only their clothing and a few
valued relics and went to Far West, Missouri. By this time, Edwin and
Elizabeth had four children: William, Helen Amelia, Sarah Elizabeth and Emily
Jane. They were only in Far West a short time and had just built a new home,
when the mob, several thousand strong, ordered them out. Every house in the
village was burned except father Elisha Whiting's, which was spared because he
was so sick then could not move him.
We remember of hearing aunt Elizabeth tell how she sat on the pile of
bedding far into the night with little daughter Jane in her arms. Little Jane
died soon after from exposure and lack of proper food. Sarah clapped her hands
at the big bonfire the mob had made with their fences and the select wood from
her father's chair shop. They were compelled to flee again so they joined the
saints at Lima in father Morley's branch, where Edwin Whiting acted as
counselor to brother Morley.
For Several years, the saints were happily building up the city of Nauvoo,
and their temple. Here they worshipped God without as much persecution as they
had experienced at Lima. Edwin was appointed Colonel in the Nauvoo Legion and
was an active worker at all times for the up-building of His Church.
Through the advice of those in authority, and for a righteous purpose, he
entered the law of plural marriage. In the year 1845, he married Almira
Meacham. The following year, January 27, 1846, he married Mary Elizabeth Cox.
That same year, he was called on a mission to Pennsylvania and was there at the
time of the martyrdom of the Prophet Joseph and Hyrum Smith. He woon returned
home and took up arms with his bretheren to protect his property and the lives
of his family.
During the battle of the Crooked River, his brother Charles was killed.
Still a greater test awaited him, his brothers, Almond, Sylvester, Chauncey and
Lewis and his sister, Louisa did not feel that Brigham Young should be the
leader of the Church so they followed a Mr. Cutler and called themselves
"Cutlerites" and moved up into Clitheral, Minnesota. To this day they hold
tenaciously to the teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith. They still
correspond with the children of Edwin Whiting, and have given us, for temple
work, an extensive genealogy of the Whiting family.
Edwin Whiting, his families, his father and mother stayed with the saints,
who were compelled to move west as far as Mt. Pisgah, (now known as Talmadge)
Iowa. There they stayed to prepare for the journey across the plains.
The dreaded disease, cholera, took the father and mother of Edwin, his
little brother and little daughter, Emily Jane. Their names are on the
monument lately erected at that place in memory of those who died there. So
many of his family were sick at one time, that there was no one well enough to
get the sick ones a drink, but even in those trying times, they still had faith
and rejoiced in the Gospel, for the Lord was with them. Emeline, a sister of
Edwin, married Fredrick Walter Cox and the two families were as one big family
for years. They established a chair factory and hauled the chairs to Quincy,
Illinois where they were sold. From this and their crops, they prepared to
come west. Aunt Mary taught school two terms and helped the family some.
While at Mt. Pisgah, three children were born. Albert Milton was born to Mary.
Oscar Newell was born to Elizabeth, and Catherine Emeline was born to Almira.
In April, 1849, Edwin and Emeline, the only children of Elisha and Sally
Whiting who stayed true to the Church, started westward in brother Morley's
company.
Volumes have been written of the westward journey of the saints, and as
Congressman Leatherstood has said, "It is the greatest emigration trail that
was ever blazed and our pioneers will some day stand out in history as the
greatest pioneers of the world."
They fought Indians, had their cattle stampeeded, suffered for lack of
proper food, and even though tired from that long and tedious trek, still they
went on. After reaching the Black Hills, a heavy snow storm came and for three
days they were shut in. Many of their cattle died and perhaps they would have
died had not the teams and provisions sent by President Brigham Young come to
their aid. On October 28, 1849, they reached Salt Lake City, which looked
like a haven of rest to that travel-worn company. Aunt Mary said, "I have
never beheld a sight so good and so beautiful as Salt Lake City. We were so
thankful our journey was at an end." But their rest was of short duration, for
in a few days, Edwin Whiting, the Morley's and the Cox's were called to settle
the San Pitch River, now known as Manti. Again they journeyed on. It took
three weeks to go from Salt Lake City, because they had to build their own
roads.
Provo was then a village of about six homes. As they passed Hobble Creek,
afterwards known as Springville, Edwin Whiting remarked, "This is a fertile
spot. I would like to stop here."
They arrived in Sanpete county on December 1, 1849, with almost nothing to
eat, no food for their cattle, no shelter to keep them warm, and cold weather
upon them. They made "dug-outs" on the south side of the hill where the Manti
Temple now stands. It was a severe winter, with snow so deep the cattle could
scarcely get grass and most of them died. Food had to be divided with the
Indians to keep peace. President Young had promised them provisions and help,
but none came, so Edwin and Orville Cox put on snow shoes and with a little
parched corn in their pockets for food, placed their bedding on a sleigh and
started toward Salt Lake City for help. When they reached Nephi Canyon, they
met their help, brother Dace Henry, his wife, her brother, Mr. Dodge and an
Indian, snow bound. Their cattle had died and their wagons were all but
covered with snow. The young wife was very sick, so Edwin gave them the sleigh
to pull her to Manti. They put their quilts on their backs and walked on to
Salt Lake Clity and reported conditions to President Young. Aid was
immediately sent, but some of that company went back to Salt Lake City.
Edwin's family now numbered fourteen. They lived in a large room in the
wall of the hill with their chair factory in one end. The men and boys hauled
wood from the hills on the hand sleighs.
The following spring (1850), there were three girls born. Harriet Lucinda
was born to Mary Elizabeth in April, Louisa Melitia was born to Elizabeth in
May, and Cornelia Dolly was born to Almira in June.
For several seasons, very little was raised. It became necessary to build a
fort to protect themselves from the Indians, for they felt that the white man
had stolen their land. The gates of the fort were locked while the men went to
the fields with their guns. From this developed the Walker War. Edwin was
appointed Captain for the Militia. Twice the Indians drove his cattle off and
stole whatever they could.
Edwin often told us of one big old ox that he owned. The ox would rebel
whenever an Indian tried to drive him. He would turn on his captors and break
their defense and come home. He hated Indians and would always lower his head
and challenge them if they came near.
Edwin tried planting fruit trees, shrubs and flowers, but they could not
survive the very cold winters. Their crops were poor, but they managed to
exist and were a happy family in spite of their hardships.
In 1854, he was called to Ohio on a mission and was gone for two years.
While he was away, the grasshoppers came and took everything they raised. They
faced starvation, but miraculously, where the crops had been, a patch of
pigweeds grew and they lived on them until the corn ripened in Utah County.
A strange thing it was, for the Indians said those pigweeds had never grown
there before, nor have they grown since. Walter Cox divided with his brother's
(brother-in-law) family while Edwin was away.
Edwin, upon his return, brought many kinds of fruit trees, (some from his
father's farm that he helped to plant when a boy) shrubs and flowers, and again
tried to grow them, but the climate was too cold.
On the 8th of October, 1856, Edwin married Hannah Haines Brown. Abby Ann
Whiting was born to this couple at Manti in 1858 and Lorenzo Snow Whiting was
born at Manti in 1860.
On the 14th day of April, 1857, he married Mary Ann Washburn. Two children
were born to the family while they resided at Manti. Daniel Abram was born in
May, 1858 and Monroe Finch Whiting was born in November, 1862.
While he lived at Manti, Edwin was among the foremost men in religious and
civic affairs of the community. He was councelor to the Stake President. He
was mayor of the city from 1857 to 1861. He was a member of the legislature
for two terms, and as stated before, he was Captain of the Militia in the
Walker War.
After finding the climate of Manti unfavorable for raising fruit, his
special work, he was advised by Presiden Young to try out his nursery at
Springville. He moved to Springville in 1861 and was able to plant and grow
all kinds and varieties of fruit trees, vegetables and flowers. People used to
come from neighboring communities to see his flowers.
He built a home on the lot where the Springville Second Ward Church now
stands. That old two story adobe home will stand in the memory of the members
of the Whiting Family as a place of many happy evenings and of fun and
amusement. Aunt Mary also taught school there.
He transplanted, in different towns, many evergreens from the mountains.
Those around the old Court House in Provo, those at the Springville City park,
and one large evergreen that stands southwest of the Manti Temple which can be
seen for miles around. He once said "I brought that in my dinner bucket and I
think it was the first evergreen transplanted in Utah."
His life was typical of this great tree. A poem written by Emmay Whiting,
wife of Daniel Whiting, describes his life and this tree as being similar.
Edwin had one of the largest families in Utah. Many of those stand at the
head of Stake and Ward organizations in our Church. Among his descendants,
we found seven bishops.
In his later life, he did temple work for his dead relatives in the Salt
Lake Temple, St. George Temple, and in the Logan Temple. He lived the
principles of his religion. He was honest, charitable, and never accumulated
great riches. He was thrifty and loved his wives and children and gave them
the comforts of life.
He died at Mapleton, Utah on the 9th of December, 1890 at the age of
eighty-one years. He was firm in his belief and testimony of the truthfulness
of the Gospel.
His descendants are numerous and are found in Idaho, Arizona, Mexico,
California, New York, and in Utah.

Pisgah, Iowa and began the big trek toward the west. They visited the Coxes and Whitings at Silver Creek. Then they made their way to the Elkhorn river in Nebraska. by the time that they arrived at the Elkhorn, it had been three monts since they left Mt. Pisgah. They were made part of the George A.

HISTORY: (Compiled by Jennie Bird Hill, daughter of Abby Ann Whiting, daughter
of Edwin and Hannah Whiting- 1919) "About the year 1800, in the
little town of Lee, Berkshire County, Massachusetts, near the border of New
York, lived the family of Elisha and Sally Hulett Whiting. Elisha Whiting's
father was a sea captain and lived in Connecticut. He died when Elisha was
very young. His mother, not knowing what else to do, bound him to an old
Quaker, who was very cruel to him, and after a few years, he ran away to
Massachusetts and worked on a farm with a wheelwright. Here he was married to
Sally Hulett. They were highly respected, honest, generous and firm in their
convictions.
Elisha Whiting followed the trade of wagon and chair maker and did his work
well. His wife was very gifted in making prose and poetry, a characteristic
that has been bequeathed to many of the Whiting descendants. To Elisha and
Sally Whiting, twelve children were born, eight sons and four daughters as
follows: (1) Charles, (2) William, (3) Edwin, (4) Charles, (5) Katherine
Louisa, (6) Harriet, (7) Sally Emeline, (8) Chauncey, (9) Almond, (10) Jane,
(11) Sylvester, and (12) Lewis.
Edwin Whiting was born September 9, 1809, the third child of this family.
When he was six years old, his parents moved to Nelson, Portage County, Ohio.
At that time, it was the western frontier of the U.S.A. but probably the very
place his father wished to be to get a suitable timber for his trade and for
support of his large family.
Edwin Whiting's chance for education was very limited, but they were all
taught the "3 R's", Readin', Ritin', and Rithmetic, and he wrote an legible
hand, an extrordinary feat for his time. At an early age, he wrote credible
verse.
His early life in the forest, no doubt, accounts for his love of the
out-of-doors, the beauties of nature, the trees, the flowers, the mountains and
the desire to hunt.
One Sunday morning, when but a small boy, he decided to go hunting. He knew
this was contrary to his parent's teachings, so he tried to draw his gun
through the cracks between the logs of his bedroom and go unmolested. His gun
caught and was discharged, inflicting a serious wound in his left arm. This,
he said, was a lesson to observe the Sabbath Day and to obey his parents.
He learned the chair making trade from his father and his workmanship was
considered very good.
In 1833, when Edwin was twenty-four years old, he married Elizabeth
Partridge Tillotson, an Ohio girl of French descent. She was a highly educated
school teacher, quite an accomplishment for those days.
In 1837, the Gospel was brought to the Whiting family. Edwin and his wife,
his father and mother and some of his brothers and sisters joined the Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. They were baptized by Thomas Marsh in 1838.
Here, as in the time of Christ and His Apostles, the humble, hard-working class
of people were the ones to listen and accept the Gospel of truth.
They were among the early members of our church and soon joined the saints
in Kirtland, Ohio. It was here that their trials, hardships and persecutions
began and it took true manhood, womanhood, and faith in God to endure. They
were forced to leave their new comfortable home, complete with furniture,
orchards and land in Kirtland, Ohio and took only their clothing and a few
valued relics and went to Far West, Missouri. By this time, Edwin and
Elizabeth had four children: William, Helen Amelia, Sarah Elizabeth and Emily
Jane. They were only in Far West a short time and had just built a new home,
when the mob, several thousand strong, ordered them out. Every house in the
village was burned except father Elisha Whiting's, which was spared because he
was so sick then could not move him.
We remember of hearing aunt Elizabeth tell how she sat on the pile of
bedding far into the night with little daughter Jane in her arms. Little Jane
died soon after from exposure and lack of proper food. Sarah clapped her hands
at the big bonfire the mob had made with their fences and the select wood from
her father's chair shop. They were compelled to flee again so they joined the
saints at Lima in father Morley's branch, where Edwin Whiting acted as
counselor to brother Morley.
For Several years, the saints were happily building up the city of Nauvoo,
and their temple. Here they worshipped God without as much persecution as they
had experienced at Lima. Edwin was appointed Colonel in the Nauvoo Legion and
was an active worker at all times for the up-building of His Church.
Through the advice of those in authority, and for a righteous purpose, he
entered the law of plural marriage. In the year 1845, he married Almira
Meacham. The following year, January 27, 1846, he married Mary Elizabeth Cox.
That same year, he was called on a mission to Pennsylvania and was there at the
time of the martyrdom of the Prophet Joseph and Hyrum Smith. He woon returned
home and took up arms with his bretheren to protect his property and the lives
of his family.
During the battle of the Crooked River, his brother Charles was killed.
Still a greater test awaited him, his brothers, Almond, Sylvester, Chauncey and
Lewis and his sister, Louisa did not feel that Brigham Young should be the
leader of the Church so they followed a Mr. Cutler and called themselves
"Cutlerites" and moved up into Clitheral, Minnesota. To this day they hold
tenaciously to the teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith. They still
correspond with the children of Edwin Whiting, and have given us, for temple
work, an extensive genealogy of the Whiting family.
Edwin Whiting, his families, his father and mother stayed with the saints,
who were compelled to move west as far as Mt. Pisgah, (now known as Talmadge)
Iowa. There they stayed to prepare for the journey across the plains.
The dreaded disease, cholera, took the father and mother of Edwin, his
little brother and little daughter, Emily Jane. Their names are on the
monument lately erected at that place in memory of those who died there. So
many of his family were sick at one time, that there was no one well enough to
get the sick ones a drink, but even in those trying times, they still had faith
and rejoiced in the Gospel, for the Lord was with them. Emeline, a sister of
Edwin, married Fredrick Walter Cox and the two families were as one big family
for years. They established a chair factory and hauled the chairs to Quincy,
Illinois where they were sold. From this and their crops, they prepared to
come west. Aunt Mary taught school two terms and helped the family some.
While at Mt. Pisgah, three children were born. Albert Milton was born to Mary.
Oscar Newell was born to Elizabeth, and Catherine Emeline was born to Almira.
In April, 1849, Edwin and Emeline, the only children of Elisha and Sally
Whiting who stayed true to the Church, started westward in brother Morley's
company.
Volumes have been written of the westward journey of the saints, and as
Congressman Leatherstood has said, "It is the greatest emigration trail that
was ever blazed and our pioneers will some day stand out in history as the
greatest pioneers of the world."
They fought Indians, had their cattle stampeeded, suffered for lack of
proper food, and even though tired from that long and tedious trek, still they
went on. After reaching the Black Hills, a heavy snow storm came and for three
days they were shut in. Many of their cattle died and perhaps they would have
died had not the teams and provisions sent by President Brigham Young come to
their aid. On October 28, 1849, they reached Salt Lake City, which looked
like a haven of rest to that travel-worn company. Aunt Mary said, "I have
never beheld a sight so good and so beautiful as Salt Lake City. We were so
thankful our journey was at an end." But their rest was of short duration, for
in a few days, Edwin Whiting, the Morley's and the Cox's were called to settle
the San Pitch River, now known as Manti. Again they journeyed on. It took
three weeks to go from Salt Lake City, because they had to build their own
roads.
Provo was then a village of about six homes. As they passed Hobble Creek,
afterwards known as Springville, Edwin Whiting remarked, "This is a fertile
spot. I would like to stop here."
They arrived in Sanpete county on December 1, 1849, with almost nothing to
eat, no food for their cattle, no shelter to keep them warm, and cold weather
upon them. They made "dug-outs" on the south side of the hill where the Manti
Temple now stands. It was a severe winter, with snow so deep the cattle could
scarcely get grass and most of them died. Food had to be divided with the
Indians to keep peace. President Young had promised them provisions and help,
but none came, so Edwin and Orville Cox put on snow shoes and with a little
parched corn in their pockets for food, placed their bedding on a sleigh and
started toward Salt Lake City for help. When they reached Nephi Canyon, they
met their help, brother Dace Henry, his wife, her brother, Mr. Dodge and an
Indian, snow bound. Their cattle had died and their wagons were all but
covered with snow. The young wife was very sick, so Edwin gave them the sleigh
to pull her to Manti. They put their quilts on their backs and walked on to
Salt Lake Clity and reported conditions to President Young. Aid was
immediately sent, but some of that company went back to Salt Lake City.
Edwin's family now numbered fourteen. They lived in a large room in the
wall of the hill with their chair factory in one end. The men and boys hauled
wood from the hills on the hand sleighs.
The following spring (1850), there were three girls born. Harriet Lucinda
was born to Mary Elizabeth in April, Louisa Melitia was born to Elizabeth in
May, and Cornelia Dolly was born to Almira in June.
For several seasons, very little was raised. It became necessary to build a
fort to protect themselves from the Indians, for they felt that the white man
had stolen their land. The gates of the fort were locked while the men went to
the fields with their guns. From this developed the Walker War. Edwin was
appointed Captain for the Militia. Twice the Indians drove his cattle off and
stole whatever they could.
Edwin often told us of one big old ox that he owned. The ox would rebel
whenever an Indian tried to drive him. He would turn on his captors and break
their defense and come home. He hated Indians and would always lower his head
and challenge them if they came near.
Edwin tried planting fruit trees, shrubs and flowers, but they could not
survive the very cold winters. Their crops were poor, but they managed to
exist and were a happy family in spite of their hardships.
In 1854, he was called to Ohio on a mission and was gone for two years.
While he was away, the grasshoppers came and took everything they raised. They
faced starvation, but miraculously, where the crops had been, a patch of
pigweeds grew and they lived on them until the corn ripened in Utah County.
A strange thing it was, for the Indians said those pigweeds had never grown
there before, nor have they grown since. Walter Cox divided with his brother's
(brother-in-law) family while Edwin was away.
Edwin, upon his return, brought many kinds of fruit trees, (some from his
father's farm that he helped to plant when a boy) shrubs and flowers, and again
tried to grow them, but the climate was too cold.
On the 8th of October, 1856, Edwin married Hannah Haines Brown. Abby Ann
Whiting was born to this couple at Manti in 1858 and Lorenzo Snow Whiting was
born at Manti in 1860.
On the 14th day of April, 1857, he married Mary Ann Washburn. Two children
were born to the family while they resided at Manti. Daniel Abram was born in
May, 1858 and Monroe Finch Whiting was born in November, 1862.
While he lived at Manti, Edwin was among the foremost men in religious and
civic affairs of the community. He was councelor to the Stake President. He
was mayor of the city from 1857 to 1861. He was a member of the legislature
for two terms, and as stated before, he was Captain of the Militia in the
Walker War.
After finding the climate of Manti unfavorable for raising fruit, his
special work, he was advised by Presiden Young to try out his nursery at
Springville. He moved to Springville in 1861 and was able to plant and grow
all kinds and varieties of fruit trees, vegetables and flowers. People used to
come from neighboring communities to see his flowers.
He built a home on the lot where the Springville Second Ward Church now
stands. That old two story adobe home will stand in the memory of the members
of the Whiting Family as a place of many happy evenings and of fun and
amusement. Aunt Mary also taught school there.
He transplanted, in different towns, many evergreens from the mountains.
Those around the old Court House in Provo, those at the Springville City park,
and one large evergreen that stands southwest of the Manti Temple which can be
seen for miles around. He once said "I brought that in my dinner bucket and I
think it was the first evergreen transplanted in Utah."
His life was typical of this great tree. A poem written by Emmay Whiting,
wife of Daniel Whiting, describes his life and this tree as being similar.
Edwin had one of the largest families in Utah. Many of those stand at the
head of Stake and Ward organizations in our Church. Among his descendants,
we found seven bishops.
In his later life, he did temple work for his dead relatives in the Salt
Lake Temple, St. George Temple, and in the Logan Temple. He lived the
principles of his religion. He was honest, charitable, and never accumulated
great riches. He was thrifty and loved his wives and children and gave them
the comforts of life.
He died at Mapleton, Utah on the 9th of December, 1890 at the age of
eighty-one years. He was firm in his belief and testimony of the truthfulness
of the Gospel.
His descendants are numerous and are found in Idaho, Arizona, Mexico,
California, New York, and in Utah.

His brothers Almond, Sylvester, Chauncey, and Lewis and his sister Louisa, did not feel that Brigham Young should be the leader of the church so they followed a Mr. Alpheus Cutler and called themselves “Cutlerites” and moved up into Clitheral, Minnesota. To this day, they hold tenaciously to the teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith. They still correspond with the children of Edwin Whiting, and have given us, for temple work, an extensive genealogy of the Whiting family.

His brothers Almond, Sylvester, Chauncey, and Lewis and his sister Louisa, did not feel that Brigham Young should be the leader of the church so they followed a Mr. Alpheus Cutler and called themselves “Cutlerites” and moved up into Clitheral, Minnesota. To this day, they hold tenaciously to the teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith. They still correspond with the children of Edwin Whiting, and have given us, for temple work, an extensive genealogy of the Whiting family.

Almon G. Bruce, M.D. This gentleman is one of the prominent medical men of Albion, to which place he came a fe years since in order that his children might have the benefit of attendance at Albion College. He had previously practiced his profession within the bound of the "State and had the many calls of a busy and successful man. He comes of good old stock, and by inheritance and training the many traits of character and mental abilities of his progenitors have been strengthened and developed in him, making him a worthy representative of the family.
Jesse Bruce, grandfather of our subject, was a resident of Franklin County, Vermont, where on April 29, 1815, the father of our subject was born. This child was christened Augustus S. and was six years of age when his parents changed their residence to Hiram, Ohio. There he grew to maturity and married Jane Fidelia Whiting, a native of the Buckeye State, who bore him two children, Almon G, and Robert L. The latter served three years during the Civil War, in the Fourteenth Michigan Infantry; he died January 8, 1871. The wife and mother passed away in 1846, and Augustus Bruce subsequently married Miss Jane Hare. This lady was a daughter of Jacob Hare, the first settler of Columbus, Ohio, and the maker of the original plat of that city. Mr. Hare accumulated a large property, and eventually became quite wealthy and at his death willed all of his property to the needy and destitute of the city of Columbus, Ohio; the estate was valued at $200,000 and the city built of this fund what is known as Hare’s Orphan Asylum. Mr. Bruce was a Whig until the Republican party was organized, when he gave it his support, affiliating with it until his death. That event transpired in 1868.
....
In Quincy, Illinois, November 6, 1844, Almon G. Bruce opened his eyes to the light of day. His school days were spent in Medina County, Ohio, and he gained a good knowledge of the branches taught in the common and high schools. Young as he was when the Civil War began, he was roused to enthusiasm and nothing but his youth prevented him from taking his stand with the defenders of his country. As soon as it was possible to do so he entered the army, enlisting for three months and being enrolled in Company G, Eighty-sixth Ohio Infantry. Going into Virginia the company did guard duty until their time had expired and they were mustered out. In July, 1864, young Bruce again enlisted and as a member of Company C. One Hundred and Seventy-sixth Ohio Infantry, took his place in front of Nashville, Tenn. He was detailed as clerk at gen. Rousseau's headquarters and retained the position until the close of the war.
Returning to his Buckeye home Mr. Bruce began reading medicine in the office of Dr. Henry Warner, a prominent physician of Spencer. In 1866 he began attending lectures in Charity Hospital Medical College at Cleveland, Ohio from which he received his degree in 1870. Three years later he left the buckeye State to establish his home in Corunna, Michigan, where he worked up a good practice. In 1882 he removed to Detroit and a year later came to Albion. Here, as before stated, he has taken a high stand among medical men and secured a large following of citizens. He is earnest and thoughtful in all that pertains to his profession, expending his time and energy upon it to the fullest extent. He is a Prohibitionist, an outspoken and earnest worker in the cause of temperance and has received a number of nomnations for office in the city and in the State legislature and Congress ast different times.
In Spencer, Ohio, the marriage rights were solemnized between Dr. Bruce and Permelia A, daughter of the Rev. Abel Wood. The bride was born in 1851, in the town win which her wedding was celebrated. She is well informed, devoted to her family, and possess the character that wins and retains friendship. The children born to dr. and Mrs. Bruce are three in number, named respectively, Carrie Maude, Lottie E. and Bessie. The elder is now the wife of Professor E. C. Glen, of the Upper Peninsular Business College in Marquette this State. She is a young lady of cultuire, having been graduated from AlbionCollege in 1889. Socially the Doctor is Past Commander of E. W Holing Post No. 210, G. A.R., and has been a member of the Masonic order since 1865 and is now the High Priest of Albion Chapter, No. 32, R.A.M. also Three Illustrious Master of Albion Council No. 57, R & S Masters. He and his family are all members of the Methodist Episcopal church in which the Doctor is Steward.
