In 1999, Marie Whiting and Marcus L. Smith, both descendants of Edwin Whiting, spearheaded the publication of a history of Edwin’s life entitled, Edwin Whiting and His Family. For years, Marie had collected photos and documents relating to Edwin’s life.
The 160-page history, Edwin Whiting and his Family was compiled by Marie J. Whiting and Marcus L. Smith in 1999. Upon publication, Marie spent many of her final years doing the legwork to make the book available to other Edwin Whiting descendants. Hardback copies are available as print-on-demand books from BYU Print Services.

With the help of improved technology and access to records that were not available when this history was originally published, it has become clear that some versions of Edwin’s life, passed on through oral and written histories, contain inaccuracies. As new documents are discovered and new records are added, each of Edwin’s family members will have access to more complete, more accurate information than has previously been available. After Marie’s death, family members set up this website to make documents she had collected available to others. With help from the Internet, it is now possible to collect many additional items relating to Edwin’s life.
