There at least two artifacts created by Edwin Whiting in existence. One of the chairs that he made belongs to the Erma Mendenhall Hjorth family of Mapleton, Utah. Erma was a granddaughter of Edwin and Hannah. The photo of this chair looks very much like the chair in the front of the photo of his 79th Birthday.
The second photo is of a child’s broom. The inscription on the handle of the broom reads: “Broom Whittled by Edwin Whiting, father. Given to Harriet L. Whiting when 6 yrs old (1889).” The broom is about 30 inches long. The handle is a straight stick, about 3/4 inch. The bristles are tied to the stick.
