of 1875. Soon afterwards he began reading law in Boston with
GASTON, FIELD & JEWETT and remained with that firm till he went
to Chicago in 1878, and was admitted to the various bars in
October of that year. Since becoming a resident of that city
he has been engaged in several noted criminal cases, but,
although powerful in that line he is a general practitioner in
his profession. In politics he is a Democrat and many of his
addresses have attracted considerable attention. Probably he
is the most prominent criminal lawyer in the city of Chicago,
and was the leading attorney in the celebrated Cronin case.

Alfred C. WHITNEY was born in Augusta, Me., in 1835, and was educated in the

its president and chairman of the board of trustees. In the war he served as chief
engineer on the U.S.S. Magnolia, and later on the Powhatan. He also served for
three years on the staff of Admiral STRIBLING of the West Gulf squadron. After the
war he engaged in the towing business, and was captain of the steamer Alert for
some time. Later he became master of transportation for the BRADLEY fertilizing
company, by whom he has been employed for 26 years; res. East Boston, Mass., 1

Apr 21, 1799; she afterward m. 2d Daniel WILLIAMS. Mrs. WILLIAMS, who is remarkably
vigorous, both physically and mentally, was born in Broomfield, Mr., April 21, 1799, the
town at that time being in the district of Massachusetts. Most of her life has been
passed in the Pine Tree State, although of late years she has made protracted visits to
her children and grandchildren in Massachusetts. She said that she was born in a log
cabin in Broomfield, Me., April 21 1799, which was many years before frame houses
were built in that section of Maine. Her early life was similar in its history to that
of all country girls. She referred, however, to a dream when she was but 6 years
old, in which distinctly appeared a puffing locomotive and a long train of passenger
cars. Up to that time she had never heard any one speak of steam cars, carriages,
in fact, being seldom seen, yet many years after, the Portland & Ogdensburg rail-
road was built, a portion of the track running across her father's farm. The first
train she ever saw was identical with the one conspicuous in her dream. Her father
was William H. LANE, who died in Broomfield, Me., aged 93 years. January 12, 1818,
Miss LANE was married to Silas WHITNEY, with whom she lived happily until his death
in 1848. Nine children blessed the union, of whom the following survive: Mrs. Asa
FLETCHER, of Solon, Me., aged 72; Joseph F. WHITNEY, of Solon , Me., aged 68; Mrs.
Nancy B. REDMOND, of Solon, Me., mother of the late Charles C. REDMOND, of this
city, aged 62;; Mrs. James B. GILMAN, of Lowell, aged 58 years; Mrs. Emma A. BASSETT,
of Lowell, aged 56 years; Eben A. WHITNEY of Madison, Me., aged 53 years,
who will care for his dear old mother the coming winter. Her second husband was
Daniel WILLIAMS, of Embden, Me. He died in 1875. He was a blacksmith and farmer.
There were no children by this marriage. Mrs. WILLIAMS says that she has 27 grand-
children, and 39 great-grand-children. She was always an early riser, and always
enjoyed excellent health up to last winter, when she was stricken with la grippe.
Fortunately she recovered from the disease. She takes a deep interest in current
events, and finds much pleasure in reading the daily papers. In 1824 she joined the
Methodist church in Broomfield, and has continued her membership up to
the present time. Mrs. WILLIAMS is descended from a long-lived race, her mother
being 91 years old when she died, and her father 93. Her aunt, Mrs. Abigail EDGECOMB,
died in Gardiner, Me., a few years ago, aged 100. Mrs. Lucy WOOD, who died
in Barre, Vt., aged 107 years, was a near relative of Mrs. WILLIAMS. Silas died at
Moose River, Me., Nov. 6, 1848; res. Gorham, Re.

b. Nov. 24, 1818.
Asa P. WHITNEY, son of Rev. G.W. WHITNEY, was born in Bridgton, Me., July
19, A.D., 1819. His early life, to the age of 19 years, was occupied mostly on the
farm and attending school, such as town, district and Bridgton academy furnished,
which for the time, was considered quite good. Commenced teaching at the age of
twenty years; continued to teach till 1845 most of the time. In 1842 was married to
Miss Eunice KNEELAND of Harrison, Me. In 1845 removed to Rollinsford, N.H.,
then Salmon Falls, and engaged in the employ of the Salmon Falls Manufacturing
Company, in manufacturing of cotton goods. Remained there till Dec., 1856, when
he engaged with the Pemberton Manufacturing Company, Lawrence, Mass. In 1858
accepted a position in the mills of Lieutenant-Governor HAYDEN, Haydenville, Mass.
In 1860 returned to Lawrence, Mass., and engaged in the employ of the Everett
mills, in putting in and starting machinery; continued there till 1863, when accepted
a position as superintendent of the weaving department of the Boston Manufactur-
ing company's mills in Waltham, Mass. In 1867 failing health compelled a change
of business. After a few months of rest engaged in agricultural business, having
purchased a stock and dairy farm in Harrison, Me., which he continued till April,
A.D., 1886, when he went to Marshall, Lyon Co., Minn., where he still lives, after
having an active and busy life. Two sons have been born, Edward P., who died
at Harrison, Me., at the age of 30 years, leaving one son who now lives at Townsend,
Mass.; Charles C., who is living in this place, aged 47 years. In religious mat-
ters he has been an active member of the Free Baptist church, occupying prominent
positions as a layman, at times employed in home mission work. In politics a
liberty party and freesoiler till those parties merged into the republican party.
Always a total abstainer from all intoxicants and believes in prohibition as the true
remedy for the temperance reform; res. Marshall, Minn.

RING, b. Feb. 7, 1804; d. Aug. 17, 1870.
He learned the trade of cloth fuller in his father's mill in Brooks, Me. The
work not agreeing with him, he was elected sheriff of Somerset Co., and was major
in the state militia, by which title he was known through life. He was a successful
business man and became associated with General CUNNINGHAM, of Poughkeepsie,
N.Y., in vast land speculations, of which he was the manager. Their interest in-
cluded West Virginia and Lowell, Mass. Poughkeepsie was the headquarters, and
Mr. WHITNEY moved his family there. There were no railways then and the capital-
ists invested largely in real estate. The Mansion House in Poughkeepsie was the
principal rendezvous. It was a grand hotel then, in 1836, and the scene of much
gaiety. Among others with whom Major WHITNEY was associated were Gen. Walter
CUNNINGHAM, Judge James EMOTT, the VAN RENNSALERS, Millard FILLMORE, Wm. H. SEWARD
[Page 410]
(who settled in Auburn to manage some of their landed affairs), Hon. Meron R.
STRONG and other leading lawyers of New York City. Mr. WHITNEY was a very modest
and retiring man and took no pride in any public matter except in Masonry. He was
the master of the lodge wherever he resided. He also took pride in his military
career. He was married in Newport, Me., and resided in Fairfield, where he had
charge of the cloth mill, and remained there until his removal to Poughkeepsie in
1836, where he resided until 1841, when he moved to Brooklyn, NY, then to West
Virginia, where he managed large landed interest and some mills, then to Champaign,
Ill., and finally to Chicago, where he died. He was interred with Masonic honors at
Rose Hill. One who knew him intimately says he was one of the ablest business
men he ever knew, but too visionary and too modest. He made fortunes for others,
but when he made one for himself, as he frequently did, he branched out and got
"squeezed." He has owned property in his day, which had he held, would have
made his heirs immensely rich. He was a most generous man in all ways; he has
helped make the political success of many men, but never took anything himself,
except mayor of his city or justice of the peace. He was on the point of becoming
county judge of Champaign Co., Ill, when it was found that he had not gained a resi-
dence there. He d. May 3, 1866; res Detroit, Me., and Chicago, Ill.
