Helped Build Old Canal.

In that year he became superintend-
ent under George Williams, the con-
tractor. who built the old Keokuk
canal and locks, which have just been
superseded by the new power dam
and giant lock.
Captain Whitney had been interest
led in the construction Of the new
work at Keokuk and had desired tc
see its completion. 1t seems like the
irony of fate that death should take
him on the very eve of the opening OF
the new canal lock. Like the WORK
they did, SO the men who built the
old canal have gone, and Captain
Whitney was the last Of those who
had a prominent part in its construc
ton. His passing marks the opening
of the new lock.
