Family:Whitney, Frank L. (c1873-a1916)
Frank L. Whitney (Son of Lephe (Allen?) Whitney and Matthew (Jonathan Mather?) Whitney, (son of Catherine Elizabeth Conrow Whitney and Lemuel Griffith Whitney?)), was born ca. 1873, possibly NY.
He married, Trujillo, Honduras, Transito Lobo Whitney. She was born Trujillo, Honduras, and died Guadalupe, Costa Rica.
Frank L. Whitney was listed in the 1880 census as 7 years old living in Manton, Wexford Co., MI with his parents, Lephe and Jonathan Mather Whitney. (Jonathan Mather: "Minister of the Gospel"; Lephe: "Keeping House") WRG shows no info found in 1900 census. However, 1890-91 Census, Minneapolis, MN, Hennepin Co., shows Lephe and Matthew Whitney residing at 2613 Nicollet Ave., with no children listed (Matthew: salesman; Lephe: dressmaker.) Because of uniqueness of wife's name, and fact is known that Frank L. Whitney's mother's name was Lephe Whitney and her husband's name was " Matthew," IMO: "Matthew" in 1889-91 Census may be the same person as "Mather" in 1880 Census, notwithstanding that the 1990-91 Census lists different occupations for the couple than listed in the 1880 Census and it is reasonable to believe occupations of persons their age could change within ten years at the turn of the century. Minneapolis, MN Directories 1889-91 list one Frank L. Whitney, clerk, at 5 E. 26th, and one Francis L. Whitney,compositor (typesetter)at 2128 Willow Ave.
Destiny of Frank L. Whitney who lived in Trujillo, Honduras c. 1905-1916, and who was the husband of Transito Lobo and father of Carolina Whitney Lobo de Diaz, Evelina Whitney Lobo de Mora, and Eduardo Whitney Lobo, is unknown and sought.

i. Evelina Whitney, b. ca. 1905, Trujillo, Honduras, d. ca. 1992, New Orleans, LA. ii. Eduardo Whitney, b. ca. 1906, Trujillo, Honduras, d. ca. 1918, Trujillo, Honduras. iii. Carolina Whitney, b. May 24 1916, Trujillo, Honduras.
