Albert Milton Whiting

Albert Milton Whiting, Sr. the eldest son of Mary Elizabeth Cox and Edwin Whiting was born December 9, 1847 in Mt. Pisgah, Union, Iowa.

His wife, Harriet Susannah Perry, was born in Springville, Utah, November 19, 1855. Albert was 26 years old and Harriet was 18 when they were married in the Salt Lake Temple on December 22, 1873. On October 19, 1883, Albert received a portion of the quarter section his father, Edwin Whiting, had filed on through the Homestead Act of February 10, 1882.
Here Albert and Harriet built a home where fifteen of their sixteen children were reared. Esther, the oldest child, died at age 7 of diphtheria, the first death in Mapleton. Their home was located on what is now known in Mapleton, Utah County, Utah, as 940 North on 300 West. It was a one-floor little building, later being added onto so there was a dining room and living room (then known as a parlor) facing south. On the north side were the pantry, kitchen and two bedrooms. The upstairs consisted of three bedrooms. After the addition of a "Parlor", the children and later grandchildren, were forbidden the use of it as it was "off limits" except on very rare occasions.

When Harriet and Albert Milton’s youngest child, Lorna, graduated from B.Y.U., and as she was approaching B.Y.U. President Harris to receive her diploma from President Heber J. Grant, President Harris stopped Lorna and said, "This young woman is the daughter of a widow. She is the youngest of sixteen children, a large number of whom at some time or other have attended B.Y.U. In honoring this mother, we pay tribute to all widowed mothers who have striven in the face of adversity to educate their children."
