      Last rites for Attorney Frederick Grant Whitney, 90, who died last Thursday morning at the Evergreen Nursing Home, were held Saturday morning at 10 a.m. at the Taylor Funeral Home. The Rev. M.

      Masonic rites were held at the funeral home Friday at 7:30 p.m. Acting as bearers were Attorney Lynn W. Smith, Attorney Edwin W. Warner, Horace G. Farrington and Rexford E. Potts.

      Mr. Whitney had been in failing health for the past five years and had been a patient in the North Park Nursing Home before entering the Evergreen Home (his former family home) in April 1956.

      His only close survivor is his wife, Mrs. Honore Haylock Greene Whitney, whom he married in Albany on June 18, 1913, who is a patient at the Evergreen Home. There are also several nieces and nephews.

      Mr. Whitney was born in Pulaski March 19, 1868, the son of
      Henry and Martha Smith Whitney. He was graduated from Pulaski Academy in 1886 and from Syracuse University Law College in 1894. He studied law in the office of S.C. Huntington and Son in Pulaski following his graduation from law school and was admitted to the bar in 1894. The partnership formed with S.C. Huntington, Jr. was dissolved in 1904 and from that time he practiced alone until his retirement several years ago.

      Following the closing of both the Pulaski National Bank and the Peoples National Bank, Mr. Whitney was appointed attorney for the receiver of both banks.

      He was at one time attorney for the Standard Oil Co., the New York Central and the Salmon River Power Co., in this locality. He was village attorney from 1902-1906 and village clerk 1898, 1899 and also served on the Pulaski Water Commission resigning in 1935. He also served as chairman of the Selective Service Board in World War I.

      Mr. Whitney was once very active in Republican politics. He served as assemblyman from Oswego county from 1904 to 1908.

      He was in the Assembly with Senator James W. Wadsworth, Senator Robert F. Wagner and Gov. Alfred E. Smith. During this time he was chairman of the Excise committee and a member of the Judiciary committee and the Public Institutions committee.

      He was a member of the Pulaski Masonic Lodge, 415 F. & A.M. for more than 50 years and was a member of the Ringgold Fire Co. in its early organization.

      He also belonged to St. James Episcopal Church
