Lyman Whiting was
born in North Brookfield, Massachusetts, on April 28, 1817. He graduated from
Andover College in 1842. Ordained as a Congregational minister the following
year, Whiting spent the rest of his life in churches across the country. His
first church was in Brookfield, Massachusetts; from 1864-1869 he was a pastor
in Dubuque, Iowa, and his last pulpit was in East Charlemont, Massachusetts.
Whiting died in 1906.
The papers of Lyman Whiting consist of 15.5 linear feet of manuscripts dating from 1836 to 1906. The collection contains eight boxes of correspondence of both a personal and professional nature. There are also nine boxes of his sermons. Other items include thirty-three diaries kept by Whiting, newspaper clippings, and manuscripts relating to his various pastorates in Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, New York, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Iowa, Wisconsin, and West Virginia.
