William Harrison Whalen
1882 - 1928 (46 years)1. William Harrison Whalen was born on 21 May 1882 in Athens, McMinn County, Tennessee; died on 20 Oct 1928 in Chattanooga, Hamilton County, Tennessee; was buried on 22 Oct 1928 in Hensley Cemetery, Hixson, Hamilton County, Tennessee. Notes:
BIRTH: Tombstone in Hensley Cemetary (Internet) records 21 Nov 1928 as date of death, but William's death certificate clearly states 20 Oct 1928 as the date of his death. It further states that his burial date was 22 Oct 1928. The year of birth on tombstone in Hensley Cemetary is false. On his death certificate, William's age on 20 Oct 1928 is given as 46. This corresponds to the year of birth recorded in the 1900 Federal Census.
DEATH: According to his death certificate, he died from a fall off the Medical Arts Building in Chattanooga, Tennessee - which was under construction at the time - suffering a "bruise thru chest & internal hemmorage with contributory shock." The Medical Arts Building is in McCallie Ave directly across from the University of Chattanooga. In 1981 it was bought by and incorporated into the First Presbyterian Church of Chattanooga.
BIOGRAPHY: Violet Whalen reports that her father was a carpenter, but also painted. When she was born, the family lived near Billy Goat Hill in East Chattanooga. William used to make homebrew beer. His family was from Harriman, Tennessee. William used to hire a black lady called Aunt Kelly to help Martha Alice Manning with the children after childbirth. Raymond Whalen wouldn't eat her biscuits because he was afraid that the black from her hands would come off on the biscuits.

Martha (daughter of James Grant Manning and Sara Elizabeth Petty) was born on 27 Jan 1891 in Melville, Hamilton County, Tennessee; died on 30 Aug 1988 in Soddy-Daisy, Hamilton County, Tennessee; was buried in Hensley Cemetery, Hixson, Hamilton County, Tennessee.
