J. L. Whitney, long time resident of Henry county, died in Alabama Monday, according to word received from his son, Dr. Richard T. Whitney, who resides at Gadsden, Ala.

He is survived by his wife, by two sons, Carl of Washington, D.C., and Richard of Gadsden, Ala., and a daughter, Mrs. Lucille Tenenoff of near Chicago; also by five grandchildren, Richard and Ann Tenenoff, Morton, John and Kathryn Whitney.
