The Daviess County Democrat, Washington, Indiana, February 15, 1879, page 4:

"DEATH OF JAS. V. WHITTEN.

A telegram was received Sunday last from Dr. Whitten, at Lincoln, California, that his son, James Whitten, had expired and that his body would be immediately expressed to this city for interment. The remains will probably arrive today in care of Hyatt, Levings, & Co. The deceased died of consumption. He was about 25 years of age. In company with his father he left this place for California in May 1877, hoping by a change of climate to conquer the insidious disease. The father of the deceased, Dr. A. M. Whitten, is himself in delicate health, and will not return home at present. The Odd Fellows will take charge of the funeral of the deceased."
