was born 30 Nov 1847, Fairfield, ME, and died 26 April 1908, Canaan, ME, aged 60 years 4 months 4 days, of pulmonary tuberculosis.

The death certificate in the pension file says that Joseph B. Whitney died in Canaan, Maine 26 April 1908, age 60 years, 4 months, 4 days. (This means he was 15 years old when he enlisted.) He was born in Fairfield, Maine, where he was a farmer. His father was Aaron Whitney, a farmer, and his mother's maiden name was Deziah Dillingham. The cause of Joseph's death was pulmonary tuberculosis.

He married, 21 May 1869, Fairfield, ME, '''Ida Emma Wyman'''. She was born about 1853, Skowhegan, ME, and died 10 Sep 1927.

Joseph Whitney enlisted as a Private, Co. B, 2nd Maine Cavalry, 16 Nov 1863, was mustered in 30 December 1863, and was discharged 6 December 1865. He lived in Fairfield, Somerset Co., Maine at the time of enlistment.

Joseph Whitney and Ida E. Wyman were married in Fairfield, Maine on 21 May 1869 by A. P. Fuller, Trial Justice. A copy of the birth certificate of their daughter, Grace M. Whitney, says that she was born 29 December 1893 in Canaan, Maine. (Another reference to her birth in the file says 1883.) Her father's name was Joseph Whitney, birthplace Fairfield, Maine, color white, residence Canaan, Maine, occupation farmer. Her mother's maiden name was Ida E. Wyman, birthplace Skowhegan, Maine, color white, occupation housekeeper.

In May of 1908, the widow Ida Whitney's address is RD2, Skowhegan, Somerset Co., Maine.

At some point after the death of Joseph, Ida was declared incompetent, and a guardian, Basil B. Ames, was appointed so that she could collect Joseph's pension. On 7 September 1926, Ida was said to be 77 years old. Ida died 10 September 1927.
