The death of Jonathan WHITNEY, which occurred at his home in East Temple- ton, Mass., on the 22d ult., removed one of the pioneers of the chair manufacturing industry in Worcester county. During nearly the whole of his long life of eighty- one years, he has been engaged in manufacturing chairs in whole or in part. When a young man he manufactured, in a small way, wood seat chairs, and has witnessed and participated in the growth of the business till it has reached its present colossal proportions. Now nearly all parts of a chair are made by machinery, but in Mr. WHITNEY's young days it was done almost entirely by hand. For a number of years past Mr. WHITNEY has been working on contracts with Messrs. Heywood Bros, & Co., of Gardner, for seating chairs. He was a strictly honest man, and intended to deal justly by all with whom he came in contact.
