Mrs. WHITTINGTON was born in Carroll county, Ohio, April 30th, 1813. Her parents had settled in Richland county Ohio in 1817, in which place she married Samuel WHITTINGTON, February 27th, 1838, residing there until April 9th, 1851, when she emigrated to Fairfield Township, Bureau County, Illinois, at which place she resided until the spring of 1882, when they broke up housekeeping and went to visit her sons in Allen County Kansas. In the fall returned to Illinois to visit her old home. In the summer of 1884, after returning to Kansas she had an attack of Paralysis, from which she never recovered; but bearing all her affliction with fortitude she continued to visit her children in Illinois, Iowa and Kansas. Last winter she stayed with her daughter in Iowa, and about five weeks before her death she requested her son J.W. WHITTINGTON to come to Iowa and assister her to Kansas which request he immediately answered, she wished to see all of her children and grand children once more. She arrived in Kansas much exhausted from which she recovered and had a nice visit with her children and grand children, all being present when she said I now want to die. She went to sleep and slept for 48 hours in which time she could be aroused, she awoke in a paralytic stroke, called pa three times and expired in less than five minutes. She was buried in Fairfield Cemetery, a large concourse of mourners and sympathizing friends followed her to the cemetery. Her husband Samuel WHITTINGTON, survives her and is with their son, J.W. WHITTINGTON, Kincaid, Kansas. There is also the WHITTINGTON cemetery which is located south-east of Tampico.

Administrator Denise 684 posts Apr 22, 2009 7:46 AM	Hi Yakty, I sent you an email with the lists of Whittingtons buried in Union Cemetery, but I will list them here as well: WHITTINGTON: Eugene (inf) Frank (inf) Ida (Inf) Jane John Juliaett Milton D.

Thanks for your patience and donation! Denise ---------- Denise Family History Coordinator Tampico Area Historical Society Last Edited by on Apr 22, 2009 8:13 AM

LesN 544 posts Apr 28, 2009 11:26 AM	Here's the 1894 obit for James WHITTINGON. It doesn't give much detail about his relatives; however, given his birth date and place (1831 in Ashland, OH), is it possible that he was a brother of John WHITTINGON (b 1837 in Ashland, OH)? Tampico Tornado: April 28, 1894 JAMES WHITTINGTON. The grim messenger of death has again entered our midst and taken as his own a worthy and respected citizen, and old and honored soldier. James WHITTINGTON was born in Ashland, Ohio, in April 18, 1831, and came to Illinois and located near New Bedford, Bureau county, in the year of 1854, where he resided until 1896 when he took up his residence in Tampico, where he resided until his death which occurred on Sunday, April 22, 1894. His sickness was first the grippe which terminated in quick consumption. He was an uncomplaining sufferer and when told that the end was near, replied that he was ready to go. He was a member of the Methodist church and had lived a good life and was esteemed as a Christian man. He leaves a wife and three children, two daughters and one son. The funeral took place at the M.E. church Monday afternoon, April 23, Rev. Geo. A. WELLS officiating and the remains were buried in the Tampico cemetery. Les

I'll check in Sterling on my next visit there. It looks like you have found her "James" - at least the birthdates match. Anything on Jane? Here's another John Whittington obit that died in 1923, but not much info included!: John Whittington 1923 TAMPICO TORNADO Januuary 11, 1923 FORMER OLD SETTLER DIES IN KANSAS John WHITTINGTON who formerly lived in Fairfield and moved to Kincaid, Kansas about 35 years ago died at his home there on January 2nd from the infirmities of old age.
