Chase Organ Company, was born in Townsend, Huron County, Ohio, September 25th, 1846. ... On November 5th, l868, he married Miss Marian-Dean, daughter of Royal Cady and Marian (Smith) Dean, of Townsend, Huron County, Ohio, and after one year of married life spent in the West, he removed in April, 1870, to Norwalk, where they have since resided. In the fall of 1875 Mr. Whitney helped to organize the A. B. Chase Organ Company, with a capital stock of one hundred thousand dollars, for the manufacture of reed organs. In April, 1877, upon the death of Mr. A. B. Chase, and when only thirty years of age, Mr. “'hitney was unanimously elected president of the Organ Company, and has held the ofi‘ice continuously ever since. Under his energetic management, assisted by L L. Doud, secretary, the organ business has grown to vast proportions, and extended from Atlantic to Pacific, and from Canada to the Gulf, besides an export trade to Europe and Australia. They are now manufacturing and selling about three thousand organs annually, with bright prospect of soon doubling that number. Mr. Whitney has for many years been a strong temperance man, but has nearly always acted with the Republican party, believing it to be the party of progress, and that more practical results would be obtained for the cause of temperance by working for it through that organization. In February, 1875, Mr. Whitney and wife united with the First Methodist Church of Norwalk, and have been active and zealous members of that Church ever since.
