Whitney, Pardon D., and his wife, Jennie, migrated from Vermont to California before 1900. In about 1906 he built a California Bungalow home from Sears and Roebuck plans, on at 1105 Echo Avenue in Fresno. He changed the plans a bit, and built it entirely out of redwood. The back yard was lanscaped as a formal English garden. He had two daughters. One daughter caught turburculosis, never married, and died in the house. The other married an English professor, George Hunting from Brooklyn, NY, who taught at the new Fresno Normal School, now California State University, Fresno. The Huntings had no children. Mrs. Hunting died about 1955 in Fresno. We know Sgt. Whitney was married before he enlisted, because he had his wife's signature, Jennie M. Whitney, engraved on the inside of his uniform belt buckle. During the war he carried a pack-worn volume of Shakespeare, and a King James Bible, both doubtless read around many campfires. Contributed by John Carpenter, who grew up in Pardon's house mentioned above.
