Mrs. Whiting was born at Dalton, April 10, 1846, the daughter of Isaiah Jennings and Eliza (Rose) Gray. On June 12, 1869, she was married to Charles Goodrich Whiting at Adams. They came at once to Springfield, where Mr. Whiting was on The Republican. In the following year, Mr Whiting became assistant edtor at the Albany Evening Times and at the end of 18 months service on that paper, he returned to The Republican in November of 1872, to become local editor. With the exception of this short stay at Albany, N.Y., Mrs Whiting had made her home in [Springfield] ever since her marriage. Her childhood was spent at Adams, where, after graduating from the public schools, she taught school for a time before her marriage.
For many years, Mrs. Whiting had maintained the summer home, Algerie, at Otis, which she and Mr. Whiting had bought about 1898. Perched high on the hills of Western Massachusetts, its highest point showing an altitude of 1845 feet, it satisfied her love of unspoiled nature.
