  !SOURCE: Change submitted by Judy Long (email hidden) to the Whipple Website, 25 Feb 2012. States the following: New information about the approximate date and place of death for Joseph Oliver Whipple can be narrowed down to 1884 because of letters sent to children. Last letter was Nov 26, 1883. His second wife, Matilda who he was with over 20 yrs while he was a boatman working the Erie Canal, wrote a letter dated Oct 20th but no year stated to his brother, Charles, telling him of Joseph's drowning in Buffalo, NY. He lost his balance and fell in between the dock and his boat. She stated her folks bought a lot in Castile, NY and he was buried there. I contacted the historian in Castile and he must be in an unmarked grave. So I am assuming he died in 1884 before Oct 20th. After 1860 census, there is no record for Joseph Whipple that I know about.
