Death
Died at New Orleans on the 13th ult. Mr. William Wallace Whitney, son of Gen. Joshua Whitney, of this village [Binghamton, Broome Co. NY], aged 27 years. The deceased was for many years afflicted by a pulmonary complaint, which induced him to spend most of his time in southern climates. Since his marriage with the daughter of the late Daniel Clark, of New Orleans, he has-been assiduously engaged in prosecuting her claims to the immense estate left by her father. He was so engaged at the time of his last and fatal sickness by the yellow fever.
Mr. Whitney, at an early period of his life, gave promise of superior moral and intellectual attainments, and, although his progress was greatly checked by disease, he nevertheless acquired such a fund of general and useful information as well fitted him for all the duties and associations of refined life. He moreover possessed in a high degree those manly and social virtues which secured to him the respect of strangers and endeared him to his friends. Few of any age have left this world more faultless than the subject of this imperfect tribute, and the memory of his virtues will long be cherished in the place of his nativity. He has left an amiable widow and two interesting children, now in New Orleans, who will receive, in a peculiar degree, the sympathies of a numerous circle of relatives and friends.

___________________________
The death of Mr. William W. Whitney, formerly of this village [Binghamton, Broome Co. NY] is thus noticed in the New Orleans Commercial Bulletin:
"He was born in the year 1810 in Broome County in the State of New York, and was the son of Gen. Joshua Whitney, of Binghamton in that State [NY]. He has left a bereaved wife and two children to mourn an irreparable loss. The deceased came to this city about three years ago, for the purpose of prosecuting the claim of his wife, as the legal heir of the late Daniel Clarke, to a very large estate; to recover which a suit in now pending here in the United States District Court.
He was preparing to leave the city for the purpose of returning to New York; but -
"Death rides on every passing breeze, / He lurks in every flower, / Each season has its own disease, / Its peril every hour."
The most regular and exemplary habits have marked his sojourn in this city, and though he mingled but little in society or the busy scenes of life, yet it may afford some consolation to his absent friends to know that notwithstanding he sleeps among strangers, the mildness of his disposition and suavity of manners had won for him many friends who mourn his premature fate, and in whose memory he will long live. The subject of this notice, as a son and a brother, was all the relation required - as a husband, affectionate and tender - as a father, kind and indulgent - as a friend, ardent and sincere.
He possessed the finest natural endowments and received all the advantages of an early education. He cherished the utmost philanthropy, and his greatest ambition was to do good. From these qualities, his family and friends had treasured in their bosoms, the most sanguine hopes of his rising worth and usefulness. To commemorate the virtues of the dead is a duty which we owe not only to them, but to the living, and this we can only do by recording the amiable qualities of those who have descended to the tomb, not only as an example to those who survive but as a gratification to the friends and relatives of departed worth. Actuated by a desire to perform the last sacred attachment, the writer feels a gloomy pleasure in attempting to call to mind those engaging features of character which bound together, in ties of friendship and love, hearts which have only been separated for a time, by the relentless hand of death. If the friends of the deceased mourn, it is not without hope for they believe they shall be united to him again in regions of unalloyed felicity, the animating hope of this life and the glorious promise of the next."
