Boonville, NY. Herbert E. WHITNEY, or, as he prefers to be called, simply Herbert - having as he says "got tired of carrying about so long a name" - was born in Hancock, Vt. He was graduated from Canton Theological school in 1872, and was settled and or- dained to the ministry in Waterloo, Canada, in 1873; was the same year married to Mary TRAFFARN at Utica, N.
