An obituary notice of him says: "Mr. Whitney was of a highly moral turn of mind, and his life has been very exemplary. He had a highly social temperament, and his extensive reading, close observation, and accurate memory, rendered his company very desirable. Politically, he was a reformer, and in the great questions affecting the progress of this young country, he took a deep interest, and bore an active part. In the year 1845, he made a public profession of religion, and was baptized by the Revd. Mr. Porter, into the fellowship of the Scotland R. B. Church, of which he continued an honoured and useful member. His piety was deep and earnest, showing itself in his every-day life, as well as in his words. His last illness was short, but very severe. It was borne with great patience and resignation. His funeral was largely attended by all classes of the community. The Revd. Mr. Hay, of the Congregational Church, opened the service; the sermon was preached by his pastor, the Revd. Mr. Griffin; and his remains were deposited in the grave, in sure and certain hope of a blissful resurrection." 4879
