Rev. Wilmot Whitfield, D.D., president and chancellor of the University of the Northwest, Sioux City, was born in Eastport, Maine, May 9, 1840, a son of Thomas and Rebecca (Rideout) Whitfield. His father was born in London, England, and his mother in Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada. His grandfather, John Whitfield, of Lincoln's Inn Fields, was, in early life, a leading actor in the Drury Lane Theatre, where he attracted the attention of the Prince Regent (afterward George IV.) who became his patron. He was a first cousin of George Whitfield, the celebrated evangelist. His wife, Anna Healy, was descended from ancient English ancestry. Thomas Whitfield, who was a younger son, came to America in 1821, and was employed in book-keeping for some time, after which he taught school. Our subject spent the early years of his life in the east, when he attended school until eighteen years of age, when he went to Ohio to attend Oberlin College. The noted Dr. Finney was then president of this institution.
Mr. Whitfield graduated in medicine in 1861, and went to a small town in Ionia county, Mich., where he practiced for the next three years, serving a short time in the hospitals of the Union army. In 1866 he came to Hardin, Clayton county, Iowa, where he followed his profession until 1868. August 19, of that year, he married Isabel Glass, a native of Ohio, and they then settled in Butler county, Iowa, where he practiced for the succeeding four years. He then gave up the practice of medicine and entered the ministry of the Methodist Episcopal church, as a member of the Northwest Iowa Conference. He was stationed at Lake City, Calhoun county, for one year, then transferred to Storm Lake, Buena Vista county where he remained two years. He was then appointed to the First Methodist Episcopal church at Sioux City, over which he presided nearly three years, leaving at the end of that time, that he might take a trip to Europe for rest and recuperation, as well as to visit the scenes of the Holy Land. During his trip, which lasted sixteen months, he visited Rome, Italy, and Cairo, Egypt, and Palestine, and returning, much improved in mind and body, he assumed pastoral duties as presiding elder of the Dakota District, which was soon after converted into the Dakota Mission conference. This included all the territory in South Dakota, except the Black Hills. He was superintendant here for two years, then by his special request was released and appointed pastor of the first M.E. church at Yankton, Dak. After serving here ten months he was recalled to take the superindency of the Dakota Mission, by Bishop Foss. After fourteen months' labor here Bishop Simpson called him to be pastor of the First M.E. church at Sioux City. After a year's pastorate here, Bishop Andrews assigned him to the position of presiding elder of the Sioux City district. This station received his services for the next six years.
September 20, 1890, Bishop Fowler, with the consent of the Northwest Iowa conference, appointed him chancellor of the University of the Northwest. Mr. Whitfield has had four children, namely: Mabel Jane, Wilmot Gladstone, Robert Glass, and George McCabe, all of whom are living except the first named. While not a politician, Mr. Whitfield gives his support to the prohibition party. He was a delegate of the general conference held in New York in 1888, and is a delegate elect to the ecumenical conference of Methodists to be held in Washington, in October , 1891.
Dr. Whitfield's degree of D.D. was conferred by the Northwestern university, of Evanston, Ill., in June, 1890.

Wilmot married Isabella Glass ¹, daughter of Thomas Glass and Jane "Jeanette" Grey, on 19 Aug 1868 in Hardin, Clayton, Iowa, USA. Isabella was born on 2 Feb 1849 in , Monroe, Ohio, USA. She died on 6 Nov 1907 in Seattle, King, Washington, USA. She was buried in Seattle, King, Washington, USA.

CHAPTER XXXII.
BENEVOLENT INSTITUTIONS AND ORGANIZATIONS.
BY PETER MOERDYKE, D. D.
UNION BENEVOLENT ASSOCIATION.

WOMAN'S HOME AND HOSPITAL.
The institution known as the Woman's Home and Hospital at No. 250 East Fulton street, had its beginning in January, 1886. There was an undenominational City Missionary Society, with Mrs. J. Morgan Smith, President; Mrs. Henry Spring, Secretary; Mrs. E. E. Judd, Treasurer; and a Vice President in every church which would cooperate with it, looking after the spiritual wants of the neglected classes. To do this work a missionary was employed, but, so severe were three successive winters, and so many were the causes of destitution and distress, that the missionary was compelled to devote most of her time and strength, and much of her salary, to alleviate suffering, inasmuch as the society had no aid fund to draw from. The almost constant calls for the temporary relief of shelterless women, and the difficulties of meeting them, on account of the unfavorable surroundings in many cases of the women requiring such aid, indicated a pressing need for a home where friendless women might receive a more or less regular support, while necessary to their recovery or reformation. Another cause which emphasized this need of a refuge exclusively for women, was the unsuitableness of any of the benevolent homes for erring women who desired to reform. There were men in every one of them. There was "no place in the inn." "What shall we do with her - the woman or girl who has no shelter for the night?" - became the pressing question of the hour. The subject was earnestly discussed in the newspapers, and there soon came a response in offerings of small amounts of money and some clothing, but not in all more than enough to care for the one girl then in charge, who was very ill and wholly dependent upon charity. The Missionary Society soon found it could do no more than provide one room in the new U. B. A. Home, and pay for the temporary care of such women as came there by its order. At length came the organization of a Board of Managers, of which Mrs. P. B. Whitfield was at the head, the other members of the board being: Mrs. E. A. Wheeler, Mrs. N. A. Stone, Mrs. C. D. Hodges, Miss Lillie MacDonald and Mrs. A. S. K. Burton. An Advisory Board was composed of the following ladies: Madams Wm. A. Berkey, D. A. Blodgett and G. F. Whitfield. Dr. Whitfield also tendered his services as Physician to the Home for a year, free of charge, which offer was accepted. Up to March, 1886, no place was found in which to locate the "Home for the Friendless," as it was called until September, 1886. An agreement finally was made with Mrs. S. J. Douglass, Of 440 North Ionia street, to open the Home in her residence, and the one unfortunate then under treatment was removed to that place March 17. On May 6, the Home was removed to 519 South Ionia street, and about this time Mrs. Burton, ex-City Missionary, took the place of Matron temporarily without salary. In May the first business meeting was held, and officers chosen as follows: President, Mrs. Dr. M. Veenboer; Vice-Presidents, Mrs. E. A. Wheeler and Mrs. P. B. Whitfield; Recording Secretary, Mrs. N. A. Stone; Financial Secretary, Mrs. Kerr B. Tupper; Treasurer, Mrs. C. D. Hodges. Advisory Board - Kerr B. Tupper, H. P. Welton, P. Moerdyke, W. F. Richardson, J. Rice Taylor, and A. R. Merriam. In September, 1886, the Woman's Christian Temperance Union of Unions took charge of the institution and gave it the present name after its removal to the present quarters, consisting of fourteen rooms, which prove inadequate to the increasing demand. Succeeding Mrs. Burton, the following ladies: Miss E. E. Hatch, Mrs. E. J. Hudson, Mrs. Hattie L. Tyler, and Mrs. F. A. Peck have served in the order named as Matrons. The officers (1889-90), are: President, Mrs. R. E. Watson; Vice-Presidents, Mrs. E. A. Wheeler, Mrs. M. Veenboer; Secretary, Mrs. J. S. Woodworth; Treasurer, Mrs. M. V. Adams; Superintendent of White Shield Department, Mrs. G. F. Whitfield. Mrs. F. A. Peck, the present Matron, is assisted by Miss S. A. VanDoren, a trained nurse.
During 1889 the care of the Home was enjoyed by 286 persons, by 158 of them as a charity, and 160 meals and 140 lodgings were given to strangers. The receipts for 1889 were $1,153.62, and the disbursements $1,270.65.

In 1889 the Municipal Suffrage Bill was introduced in the Senate by Arthur D. Gilmore and in the House by Dr. James B. F. Curtis. It was referred to the Judiciary Committees, and at their request the hearing was had before the entire Legislature during the annual convention of the State E. S. A. No outside lecturers were invited, because the friends of the measure were met by a strongly-expressed wish that the women of Michigan should speak for themselves. Short speeches were made by May Stocking Knaggs, Catharine A. F. Stebbins, Emily B. Ketcham, Lucy F. Andrews, Elizabeth Eaglesfield, Frances Riddle Stafford, Harriet A. Cook, Mrs. R. M. Kellogg, Phebe B. Whitfield and Mary B. Clay of Kentucky who was then residing in the State. Mrs. Clara Bewick Colby being present, she was invited to make the closing remarks.  History of Woman Suffrage ...: 1883-1900 By Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Susan Brownell Anthony, Ida Husted Harper, Matilda Joslyn Gage

The following July (1874) the Church was organized with seventeen charter members. Among the charter members of this infant church were members of the Stow Family who had originally come from Stow Corners in Ohio. The widowed Edytha Stow with her sons, daughters and their spouses had moved to Grand Rapids to help found the Grand Rapids Church of Christ. Some of the Stow descendants are still members of this church (1983).

Position in memoriam

Isaiah J. Whitfield, M. D., for the past 10 years practicing physician at Grand Rapids, is a native of Hamilton, Canada, and was born Feb. 23, 1835; he is a son of Frederick J. and Susanna (Churchill) Whitfield, the former born in England and the latter in Nova Scotia. Frederick J. Whitfield was a minister of the "Christian Church" and came to Vergennes Twp., this county, in 1847, bringing his wife and family of six sons; here he remained some six months, when the family moved to the town of Keene, Ionia County, where he bought a farm which, with the assistance of his sons, was he cleared. A daughter was born to them in Kent County, and the seventh son was born in Ionia County.From 1847 until 1862 he was widely known throughout Ionia county and the northeastern part of Kent; he is still well remembered by the residents of these localities as a preacher of rare eloquence. As a Bible scholar he is rarely surpassed. His faith in the Christian religion was unbounded, and the business of his life was to preach the gospel pure and simple, without money and without price. He was called by those who had listened to his eloquent preaching one of Nature's greatest orators, who at will, through the magnetic influence of his voice, moved whole audiences to tears. While still in harness, and discharging his ministerial duties in Canada, he was taken sick and died, Oct. 22, 1865. His wife had preceded him by some three years, departing this life in Ionia County, in July 1862.The subject of this sketch passed his minority on his father's farm, in the meantime receiving such advantages for an education as were afforded by the district schools. At the age of 21 he made an extended tour of the Western country as far as the Rocky Mountains. On his return to Michigan in 1860 he was married in Ionia County, to Miss Kate Knapp. Soon afterward he was moved to Fremont Co., Iowa, where he began reading medicine in the office of R. R. Hanley, M.D.In July 1861, he enlisted in Co. A, 4th Iowa Vol. Inf., to serve in the Union army during the war of the Rebellion and in consequence was obliged to leave his wife and a babe three months old among comparative strangers. This was a great trial, but his duty to his country beckoned him on, and when next he met the loved ones the babe was a prattling child of nearly three years, and lisping the name "Papa." Soon after his enlistment, the regiment was ordered to Missouri, and was in camp at Rolla until February 1862, when they took part under Gen. Curtiss in driving the rebel army under Gen. Price out of Springfield, Mo., and beyond "Cross Hollows," Arkansas. Soon afterward occurred the battle of "Pea Ridge," at which memorable battle the Doctor participated; his comrades on either side were shot down, although he escaped injury. During this engagement he was continually in the fight, and discharged many rounds of ammunition at the enemy, estimated to be in weight three pounds of lead. Half of his company was killed or wounded. After this battle he received the appointment of Orderly Sergeant of his company, and on the arrival of his regiment at Helena, Ark., at the solicitation of the surgeon, he was appointed "Hospital Steward," discharging the duties of that office for two years and a half. This position kept him always at the front and in constant service. The doctor was with his regiment in 35 different engagements, beginning in Sugar Creek, Mo., and ending in Bentonville, N.C., covering a period of Sugar Creek, Mo., and ending at Bentonville, N.C., covering a period of four years and one month. Among the most notable in which he participated was that of Chickasaw Bayou, near Vicksburg; Arkansas Post, where 7,000 rebels were taken prisoner; the Vicksburg campaign until its surrender; battle of Lookout Mountain. The first night after this battle commenced, there was but one other surgeon besides the Doctor to attend to the wounded, who comprised men from 16 different regiments.In 1864, he, with his entire regiment, re-enlisted as veterans, and after a short visit home on furlough he again entered active service, participating in the Atlanta campaign, and was with Gen. Sherman's army in its famous "march to the sea." On the arrival of the regiment at Savannah, Ga., the Doctor received his commission as Assistant Surgeon, but had discharged the duties of that office for the two preceding years. From Savannah the regiment marched to Beaufort and Columbia, S.C., and thence to Bentonville, N.C. where it took part in the last battle of the war. The regiment paraded in the grand review of the Union army held in Washington in 1865; was then ordered to Louisville, Ky., and two months afterward to Davenport, Iowa, where it was mustered out of the service Aug. 24, 1865.The war having ended, he returned to his family at Lowell, Mich. It may be mentioned that five brothers of Dr. W. served as soldiers in the Union army, two being severely wounded in the seven days' fight before Richmond; subsequently one Thos. N., died at Annapolis, Maryland, while still in the service. During the whole period of the Doctor's service he lost but three days' time from service, and it was computed that his regiment during service traveled 8,000 miles.On his return home he resumed the study of his chosen profession and in the winter of 1865-'6 he attended a course of medical lectures at Ann Arbor. In the spring of 1866 he moved to Big Rapids, and engaged in the practice of his profession. In 1869 he attended lectures at the Homeopathic Medical College at Cleveland, O., where graduated in the spring of 1870, and in November 1871, he located permanently at Grand Rapids, where he has built up a fine practice and has won an enviable reputation as a thorough, competent, and successful physician. The doctor is distinctly a homeopathist, liberal in his views, and tolerant of other schools. He is a member of the Grand Rapids and Kent County Homeopathic Medical Societies, and of the American Institute of Homeopathy, one of the oldest medical societies in existence in this country.Dr. Whitfield has four children living, three daughters and one son. He has three brothers that are physicians, one living in Grand Rapids, Mich.; the second in Dakota and the third in New York.A good portrait of Dr. I. J. Whitfield will be found on another page.

Isaiah J. Whitfield, M. D., was born in Upper Canada, Feb. 23, 1835. Taking up his residence in the States some years before the War of the Rebellion, he enlisted as a private in the Fourth Iowa Volunteers, was promoted successively to Orderly Sergeant and Hospital Steward, and later became Assistant Surgeon. He served in all four years and seven months. His experience in the army hospitals developed in him an interest in medicine, and after a few months preparatory study he entered the Medical Department at Ann Arbor and attended the lectures of one year. After several years practice in one of the new towns of Northern Michigan, he entered the Cleveland Homeopathic Medical College, graduating in 1870. He then settled in Big Rapids, Mich., remaining there two years, after which he removed to Grand Rapids, where he has acquired a large and lucrative practice. In the last few years, owing to over-work, he has to some extent been withdrawing from general practice, to engage in the specialty of orificial surgery, to which he has devoted considerable attention, taking two or three post graduate courses of lectures in Chicago. With all his activity in professional life, he has found time to be an energetic religious worker, and has been the Senior Elder in the Church of Christ since its organization in this city in 1874. He has always been prominently interested in the social and moral questions of the day, being especially zealous in the prohibitory movement, the convention of that party twice making him its candidate for Mayor of Grand Rapids.

The woman's rights movement, as it is familiarly called, took organized form in this city April 1874. Upward of one hundred citizens, of both sexes, united in a call for a meeting to form a Woman Suffrage Association. It was held April 27, in Luce's Hall, and the "Grand Rapids Woman Suffrage Association" was then organized--S. L. Withey, President; Richmond Fisk, Jr., Recording Secretary; Harvey J. Hollister, Treasurer. Shortly afterwards a county society was formed, of which E.L. Briggs was President. The association has been kept up, and the advocacy of the policy of granting the right to vote to woman, has been steadily pushed by it ever since. It cannot properly be classed among the political parties in the sense of being composed of voters. It was active in procuring the passage of the law giving suffrage to women in school elections. It is now superseded or supplanted by the Equal Suffrage Association, whose officers are: President, Mrs. C. B. Hodges; Vice-Presidents, Mrs. Phobe Whitfield, Mrs. E. B. Ketcham; Recording Secretary, Mrs. I.E. Stone; Corresponding Secretary, Mrs. M. E. Bedell.  Baxter 1891 Chapter XXII.

NATHANIEL C. WHITFIELD, M. D.

Dr. Nathaniel C. Whitfield was born in Norwichville, Brant County, Canada West., on May 7, 1843. When a very small child his parents moved to Michigan, where his early life was spent.

He received his early education in the schools of Michigan, and at the age of eighteen years and three months enlisted in the Sixteenth Michigan Volunteer Infantry, Co. B, being one of five brothers to enter his country's service. He was wounded at the battle of Gaines Mills in June, 1862, and three days later was captured and thrown into Libby prison, from which he barely escaped with his life; later, upon recovering his health, he reentered the service and served until the close of the war.

Returning to private life be became a farmer, but in 1876 he entered the Michigan University and began the study of medicine, after his graduation going to Rapid City, North Dakota, where he began the practice of his profession. Later he entered Hahnemann Medical College and Hospital of Chicago, graduating from there in 1883.
He was interested in everything pertaining to the public good, and took an interest in public affairs, being elected to the Territorial Legislature from Pennington County in 1878-9 and later served the county as Coroner for several years.

In 1894 he was appointed resident physician of the State Soldiers' Home at Hot Springs, where he remained until illhealth compelled him in 1898 to remove to a more balmy climate, and he came to Southern California, locating in Los Angeles, where he has since lived, except for four years spent at Elsinore.

His professional work in California was limited by the reason of his poor health, his heart being the principal part affected. About one year before his death he had a severe attack of heart failure, and from that time on he steadily lost ground. In September last he had two severe attacks of heart failure which confined him to his bed and he failed rapidly, passing away on November 7, 1909, at the age of sixty-six years.

On his return to Los Angeles from Elsinore he joined this Society in October, 1907, but owing to his health he was not able to take any active part in its work. Dr. F. S. Barnard.
