Francis A. Whitney was born in Westminster, MA.  Came to Leominster, MA, at age of 20 or thereabouts, and for a few months worked as a mechanic in the piano business.  Then in company with F. W. Whitney he began the manufacture of children's carriages.  Beginning in a small room, rented on the upper floor of an old factory, the business has gradually increased until it is now the largest children's carriage concern in the United States.  Various changes have occurred in the business at different times.  About 1870 he bought out F. W., ran it a few years alone and then formed a corporation, of which he is still president and holds a majority of the stock.  The firm now employs 150 to 200 hands and manufactures about 40,000 carriages a year, which are sent even to Australia.  About 15 years ago he also began the manufacture of shirts in Leominster in company with a Mr. Gaines, a young man acquainted with the details of the business.  They are now, probably, the largest manufacturers of shirts in the United States.  They employ about 700 hands and manufacture 600 to 800 dozen (7,200 to 9,600) shirts a day.  Their business amounts to about $1,000,000 a year.  He is, as might readily be imagined, perhaps the most prominent and wealthy man in the town of Leominster.  He has given large sums of money to the Church there and to other benevolences, and is held in the most universal esteem and affection as a benefactor of the poor and a public spirited citizen.  His relations with his employes have always been especially harmonious and actuated by a mutual regard.  He has several times been asked to accept public office, but has always refused to become a candidate and has kept entirely aloof from political affairs; resided Leominster, MA.

Latest revision as of 11:18, 9 January 2019

Francis Austin8 Whitney (Joseph7, Jonas6, Jonas5, David4, Benjamin3, John2, John1), son of Joseph7 and Sally (Harrington) Whitney, was born 5 Feb 1830, Westminister, MA,[1] and died 5 Feb 1922, Leominster, MA.[2]

He married firstly, 9 Jun 1853, Lunenburg, MA, Mary Lavinia Baker, daughter of Jesse and Sophia (Weatherbee) Baker.[3] She was born 28 Jan 1834, Lunenburg, MA, and died 21 Mar 1869, Leominster, MA, aged 35 years.[4]

He married secondly, 6 Jan 1870, Leominster, MA, Orrissa Ann Taylor,[5] or 4 Jun 1870, Leominster, MA, Nancy A. Taylor,[6] daughter of George H. and Abigail R. (Wheelock) Taylor. She was born 9 Sep 1844, Leominster, MA, and died 30 Jun 1916, Leominster, MA, aged 71 years.[7]

Francis A. Whitney was born in Westminster, MA. Came to Leominster, MA, at age of 20 or thereabouts, and for a few months worked as a mechanic in the piano business. Then in company with F. W. Whitney he began the manufacture of children's carriages. Beginning in a small room, rented on the upper floor of an old factory, the business has gradually increased until it is now the largest children's carriage concern in the United States. Various changes have occurred in the business at different times. About 1870 he bought out F. W., ran it a few years alone and then formed a corporation, of which he is still president and holds a majority of the stock. The firm now employs 150 to 200 hands and manufactures about 40,000 carriages a year, which are sent even to Australia. About 15 years ago he also began the manufacture of shirts in Leominster in company with a Mr. Gaines, a young man acquainted with the details of the business. They are now, probably, the largest manufacturers of shirts in the United States. They employ about 700 hands and manufacture 600 to 800 dozen (7,200 to 9,600) shirts a day. Their business amounts to about $1,000,000 a year. He is, as might readily be imagined, perhaps the most prominent and wealthy man in the town of Leominster. He has given large sums of money to the Church there and to other benevolences, and is held in the most universal esteem and affection as a benefactor of the poor and a public spirited citizen. His relations with his employes have always been especially harmonious and actuated by a mutual regard. He has several times been asked to accept public office, but has always refused to become a candidate and has kept entirely aloof from political affairs; resided Leominster, MA.

Heywood says the following:[8]

"Francis A. Whitney8 (170), upon starting out in life, located in Leominster, where he has been actively engaged in the manufacture of children's carriages and other industrial enterprises. He is a man of high standing in the business world and has contributed largely to the prosperity of his adopted town. His bro., Wm. B., a man of genuine worth, was for some years associated with him in the carriage trade."
