Fall of a Madison banker ends in tragedy
The 1870s turmoil ruined W B Whitney and his son E G Whitney. After a failed pork-packing venture and bank collapse, the elder Whitney, once president of a Madison bank, died by suicide in Lake Michigan. His son could not be reached as creditors pursued ruinous debts. The body returned to Madison for interment. Roland Whitney of Louisville attended.
