'''William Oscar Whitney''' (son of John Angier,George,Jason, Mark, Benjamin,John), was born 12 Nov 1859, Natick, MA, and died 1939, Philadephia, PA.

He married , , '''Lena Ida Bird''', daughter of daughter of Delphine (Daggle) Bird. She was born 1888/9, Natick, MA, and died 1960, Kingston, NH.

William Oscar Whitney is a child of John Angier and Sarah Elizabeth "Lizzie" (Thomson) Whitney, born 12 November 1859.

He married Lena Ida Bird, daughter of Delphine Daggle(1). He was approximately 29 years her senior and had witnessed her birth. Together, they resided in Natick, MA, moving to Worcester, MA and Hyde Park, MA later on.

Child of William Oscar and Lena (Bird) Whitney:

One son Lewis Benidict Whitney, born 29 June 1908, who later changed his first name to "Louis." (2)

In 1914, Lena Ida Bird divorced William and left to live in Kingston, NH. She re-married a William A. Bennett (1886-1965) of Danville, VA, who had two previous children by marriage, Virginia and Robert.

It is thought, but not proven as of yet, that William Oscar Whitney moved to New Jersey after Lena left him. This information was provided by his daughter-in-law Elizabeth (Nason)Whitney in her recollections of the obituary.

William Oscar Whitney worked as a machinist and shipbuilder through out the New England Coast; notably at Quincy Mass Yard,Booth Bay Harbor, ME and Bath, ME.

He went by the nickname "Ossie" and earned a reputation for his work. Fellow worker Jack McGuire of Quincy, MA witnessed "Ossie" get struck in the head with a steel beam while plying his trade in the Quincy Mass Shipyard. McGuire stated that William "had been a very good worker and very strong!" to his son, Louis. The insurance company awarded him the amount of $ 68,000.

He moved to a boarding house and rented from a Mrs. Cowan of Philadelphia, PA. Louis visited William in Pennsylvania, and was distressed on how very slim his formally very heavy father had gotten. However, Louis was disgruntled to see that whilst he was going bald, his father still had a full head of hair. His visits left Louis under the impression that his father was diabetic.

William Oscar had written $8,000 in his will for his son, Louis, which upon his death in 1939 in Philadelphia, PA was not granted. Numerous reasons were given by the lawyers,i.e. the banks had failed, keep was due to Mrs. Cowan, etc.

Citation help is requested.
