in need they were there to help. When their daughter in-law, Mary, who was Henry's wife became ill with tuberculosis, Jack and Kate were devastated, for there was no cure for the disease at that time. Mary's condition did not improve and she died a short time later, leaving a six-month old son, Johnny, without a mother. Johnny was a beautiful boy, but unfortunately lacked the power of speech. This made it difficult for Henry, who was now alone. Jack and Kate then assumed the duties of parents once more and raised Johnny as one of their own. They were very anxious to see him progress in life, for he had great potential to learn. With the assistance of family members they enrolled him in the School for the Deaf in Halifax. Here, he did very well, and received a good education. He went on to trade school, where he succeeded in becoming a Cabinet Maker. Later he moved to Ontario and married Gloria Jarvis . They had two children, Georgia and Henry. Some years later Daniel Whitty and his family were living in Greenvale . The family experienced some sickness, and were in need. There were no Government subsidies or unemployment insurance in that era, so they had no money. They found it necessary to give their children out for adoption. Once again, Jack and Kate came to the rescue and welcomed ten-year old Lawrence into their home, where he was reared as one of their own. Jack also taught him the carpentry trade, making him also first class in this occupation. Jack and Kate were very religious people, and always found time to attend church regularly. Jack was very honest with his customers, and was very particular about his work. He insisted on doing first class work. A few pieces of the Whalen furniture is still in existence today. They are very valuable antiques. Strange as it may seem, Jack and Kate never had a car. When Lawrence was old enough, he purchased a grey Ford that had a rumble seat in the back. Some of the neighbors christened it the "The Devil's Buggy" because they said it went to hell and back again. Apparently it was in the ditch more than it was on the highway. Although Kate came from Ireland, she never corresponded with relatives 13
