Speaking of Pauline Whitneys, does anyone have the Whitney connections of
these prominent ladies?

PAULINE WHITNEY MACMILLAN (1900-1990), wife of Cargill MacMillan and mother
of Cargill CEO Whitney MacMillan

RUTH WHITNEY LYMAN, who contributed "The Anti-Suffrage Ideal" to
"Anti-Suffrage Essays by Massachussets Women" (Boston: Forum, 1916)
