When five years old, he moved with his parents to Owatonna where they lived for six years and then they moved to Fergus Falls. While in Fergus Falls, his father died, and with his mother, the family came to Northfield when Mr. Whitson was 21 years old. Northfield has been his home ever since that time. He conducted a dray line in Northfield for 17 years and then he became a rural mail carrier for 33 years, 25 of which he worked out of the Northfield post office. He was delivering mail from the Dundas office when he retired seven years ago. Mr. Whitson was a member of the Odd Fellow and Degree of Honor Lodges and the Minnesota Rural Letter Carriers Association. Mr. Whitson married January 10, 1906 in Northfield to Sigrid Ann Grove, who preceded him in death. One daughter, Mrs. Kenneth Hamann (Edna) and one granddaughter, Sigred Ann Hamann, survive him, as do two brothers, William A. Whitson of Berthod, N.D. and Albert G. Whitson of Fergus Falls.
