General Notes: Husband - Edward Whitling

---

He grew to manhood on the home farm, and the knowledge he acquired in the neighboring schools was supplemented by reading and study at home during his leisure hours. During his early manhood the Civil war broke out, and he resolved to strike a blow in defense of the Union, therefore enlisting August 14, 1861, in Company E, 78th P. V. I., under Capt. J. N. Harvey. With General Sherman's army he marched from Nashville, Tennessee, to Atlanta, Georgia, and, during his three years and three months of active service, he took part in many hotly contested engagements. The term of his enlistment having expired, he was honorably discharged and returned home with an enviable war record. For twenty years previous to his death he was engaged in the drug business in Salem township.
As a Republican, Mr. Whitling took an active and prominent part in political affairs for many years, and in 1874 was appointed postmaster of Lamartine, which position he filled for the period of sixteen years. He was one of the leading members of the Reformed Church, in which he served as deacon, elder and superintendent of the Sunday school for a long period. Fraternally he was a member of the Order of American Mechanics, the Knights of Honor, and the Knights of the Maccabees, and was one of the organizers and prominent members of John Koch Post, G. A. R., of Nickleville, of which he served as commander.
