He was educated in the pub- lic schools of Medford, graduating from the high school in the class of 1886. He was president of the Alumni Association when the works of art were presented to the high school after the completion of the new build- ing, and was one of the committee making the selections. He then attended the Art School of George H. Bartlett, principal of the Normal Art School of Boston. In 1888 he entered the architectural office of H. S. Mac- kay, of Boston, continuing his studies with professors of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and in the classes of the Boston Architectural Club. In 1892 Mr. Dunham was taken into co-partnership with Mr. Mac- kay.

WHYTAL The family of Whytal, Whit- tall or Whittle, has been nu- merous in Lancashire, Eng- land, from the beginning of the use of sur- names. The following coat of arms was granted to the Lancashire family of Whittle,
September 13, 1688: Gules a chevron vair be- tween three talbots heads erased or. The fol- lowing had probably been in use many cen- turies; was confirmed in 1694: Gules a chev. ermine fimbriated or between three talbots heads erased of the last. Crest: A bear's head and neck sable muzzled gules. These two coats are almost alike and probably all of the Whytal family, if the descent were traced, would find themselves entitled to bear the ancient coat of arms, essentially as given above.
(I) Joseph Whytal, descendant of this Lan- cashire family, was born at Mill-town, Kerry, Ireland, and received an excellent education in the schools of his native town, and at an early age served an apprenticeship in the trade of shoemaking. He left home at the age of eighteen and went to Halifax, Nova Scotia, where he worked at his trade two years, and then engaged in business on his own account. At that time shoes were manu- factured largely to order and entirely by hand-work. He had a shop and store com- bined and soon attracted by his skill and good workmanship the best trade of the city. He was in business in Halifax for a period of twenty years, and enjoyed a large and profit- able trade. He was also engaged in the tan- ning industry, which he conducted to the time of his death. He died in Halifax, Sep- tember 21, 1847. A man of strong character, he was radical in his views. He was an ear- nest advocate of total abstinence. In politics he was a Radical. Though reared in the Church of England, he attended the Univer- salist church and was prominent in its work and benevolence. He served in the militia in his younger days in Halifax. Short in stat- ure, but broad and powerful, he was always energetic and industrious.
He married, June, 1820, Mary Dunlap, daughter of Hugh and Hannah (Allen) Dun- lap, of Halifax. Hannah Allen was the daugh- ter of Hannah (Lee) Allen, who was born in Salem, Massachusetts.

(II) William Whytal, son of Joseph Why- tal (I), was born at Halifax, January 28, 1823. He was educated there in the common schools, and at the age of fifteen began to learn the trade of currier in his father's shop. In the spring of 1843 he left home and came to Boston where he found employment in the currier shop of Mann & Hartshorn in Charlestown, and later at Lane's tannery, Boston. He also worked for James A. Poll- ard. In 1848 he removed to Chicago and went to work in the Knox tannery, but at the end of six months removed to St. Louis and followed his trade there. Then the California gold fever broke out, and Mr. Whytal and others joined the St. Charles County Com-
pany, under Captain Link and other prospec- tors, and made the hazardous trip to Cali- fornia. He remained in the vicinity of Sacra- mento for some two years or more and ac- cumulated considerable money in mining. In 1851 he returned to Boston, where he lived three years. Then with his two brothers, Joseph and Ambrose, and his sister, Eliza- beth, he went to Kansas and took up a gov- ernment claim on which they lived two years. William gave up his share and again returned east, and in 1859 he engaged in the leather business and general findings at Halifax, Nova Scotia. He remained in this business and carried it on successfully for twenty years. In 1882 he came to Somerville, Massa- chusetts, and started in the retail grocery business, following that with success for five years, removing in 1887 to Arlington, after selling his store in Somerville. He bought the Boston Grocery Store at Arlington. In 1889 he admitted his son, Charles R. Whytal, into partnership under the firm name of Will- iam Whytal & Son, and the firm has enjoyed a large and profitable business. In 1902 Fred N. Bennett, his son-in-law, was admitted to the firm, and since then Mr. Whytal has with- drawn from the active responsibilities of busi- ness, although he is at his desk daily. Mr. Whytal is interested to some extent in vari- ous stocks and bonds in which he has invest- ed, although his chief business has been the store. He has an elegant residence at 19 Avon place, Arlington. Mr. Whytal commands the utmost respect and esteem of his townsmen. In politics he is a Republican. He is a mem- ber of the Boston Retail Grocers' Associa- tion, and the California Pioneer Association.

Bell School for five years, afterward taking a three-year course in the Bryant & Stratton Commercial College, Boston. He entered the employ of Davis Marean Company, dealers in dry goods and small goods, corner of Bedford and King- ston streets, Boston. After a year in that position he removed to Arlington and was as- sociated with his father. When he came of age his father made him an equal partner in his grocery business, under the firm name of William Whytal & Son, and Charles R. Whytal is at present manager of the busi- ness, with Fred N. Bennett, his brother-in- law, also as partner. In religion he is a Uni- tarian; in politics a Republican.

PORTER The Porter family of England and Ireland trace their an- cestry to the time of the Nor- man Conquest. The prog itor of the Porter family was William de la Grande, a Norman knight in the army of William in 1066. He had an extensive estate granted him at or near Kenilworth in Warwickshire. His son Ralph (or Roger) became the Grand Porteur or Porter to King Henry I from 1I20 to 1140, and his descendants assumed his title as a surname when the law and custom required more than the christian name.
(I) John Porter, born about the middle of the eighteenth century, was of a numerous family of this surname located in the Protest- ant or Scotch-Irish counties of Antrim, Down, Londonderry and Armagh. The family de- scended doubtless from an English Porter some generations before. This John Porter lived in Gilbertstown, Donegal county.
(II) John Porter, Jr., son of John Porter (I), was born about 1790, at Gilbertstown, county Donegal, Ireland. He was brought up a farmer and continued farming to the time of his death, which occurred when he was in mid- dle life. He was successful in raising flax and sheep. He was a Protestant, attending the English Church at Killaoghten with his wife and family. He married Ellen McKee, daugh- ter of James and Nellie (Marrow) McKee, of Inver, county Donegal, and she was buried in the churchyard at Inver. Their children, born at Gilbertstown: I. Adam. 2. Patrick, men- tioned below. 3. Richard, married Nancy Hamilton. 4. John, was a weaver by trade; died unmarried. 5. Mary, married William Given, of Gilbertstown. 6. Eleanor, married Robert Given, of Castle Rea, Ireland; chil- dren: i. Elizabeth Given, born August 27, 1844; ii. John Porter Given, July, 1845; iii. Robert Given, February, 1847. 7. Catherine, born at Gilbertstown, married (first) William Mitchell and had two children who died young ; married (second) Robert Dean. 8. Alexander, married (first) Catherine McClin- tock; (second) Margaret Cassidy. 9. Susan, married Ephraim C. Parry, of North Cam- bridge, Massachusetts; children: i. John Ephraim Parry, born July 3, 1854; ii. William Augustus Parry, August, 1856; iii. George A. Parry; iv. Richard Henry Parry; v. Robert Alexander Parry.
(III) Patrick Porter, son of John Porter, Jr., (2), was born at Gilbertstown. His oppor- tunity for an early education was somewhat meagre and he was educated largely by his own efforts and study. He began as soon as he was old enough to help his father with the work of the farm. He left home when a young man and came with his sister Eleanor to Amer- ica. He settled first at Montreal, Canada, where he was employed in one of the large breweries for the next seven years. Subse- quently he and his sister returned to their na- tive place and he resumed farming on the homestead. When his father died the farm came to him. He was a prosperous farmer, energetic and enterprising, and especially suc- cessful in raising sheep and cattle. The more common crops of this farm and that section, in fact, were oats, barley and flax. His farm occupied the center of the village and consisted of seventy-five acres of the best tillage. He lived there until his death, January 16, 1882. He was an Episcopalian, a member of the Eng- lish Church of Killaoghten parish church. While in Canada he was in the militia.

Of hardy stock he followed in the path of his Irish ancestors and when a young boy worked at home on the farm, attending the short terms of school until he was fourteen years old, after which his education was large- ly gained by practical experience. When he was eighteen years old he left the farm and came to America, landing in New York in May, 1884. After a short time he came to Boston and thence to Woburn, where he worked first for John Cummings for a year and a half on the farm and driving produce carts to the Boston markets. Later he had a similar position on the farm of Frank Flagg, in whose employ he remained for five years. In 1890 he and his brother, Robert Porter, bought the old Jones farm at Lexington, Mas- sachusetts, consisting of about thirty-two acres of land, and started in the business of mar- ket gardening under the firm name of Porter Brothers. Their produce was sold in the Bos- ton market. After five years he sold out to his partner and Robert Porter continued the farm. Alexander Porter became foreman of the Whipple farm, but after a year he was ambitious to be his own master again. He bought the Helen Pearson farm on Burlington street, Woburn, in the western part of the town, containing twenty acres, and erected thereon, one after another as his business grew to need them, seven green houses, all devoted exclusively to the growing of violets
and chrysanthemums for the Boston florists ; and to cucumbers and tomatoes for the Boston markets. His houses cover some fifty thou- sand feet of land and he has installed the most modern and complete equipment. He purchased also the Rich place of four acres adjoining his other land and the Moreland place of seven acres and part of the old Cutter farm. He has been successful through a com- plete knowledge of his business and the care- ful attention given to it. As a citizen he stands high in the esteem and confidence of his towns- men. He was born in the Episcopal faith and baptized in the church at Killaoghten, but at present attends the Woburn Methodist Episco- pal Church. In politics he is a Republican. He is a member of the Royal Orange Institu- tion of America at Woburn; of the Boston Florists' Association; of the Boston Market Gardeners' Association.

He attended the schools of his native parish until fifteen years old, and then left his home and native land to come to this country. He lo- cated first at Winchester, Massachusetts, where he found employment with William Adams, a farmer, and afterward with Josiah Locke.

He then spent four years at Belmont, working for John S. Crosby, market garden- er. In 1867 he resided in Wayland, Massa- chusetts, for a time, but soon returned to Ar- lington and bought the farm of seven acres which was the nucleus of his market gardens. Subsequently he added as much more land to his place and had fourteen acres of the best tillage land in Arlington. Part of his place was formerly the Elijah Cutter estate. Mr. Boles became a very successful market gar- dener, and made daily trips to market with his own team. He was especially fortunate in the culture of celery, strawberries and onions. He had some twelve acres in cultivation, much of it covered with hot beds. The town of Arling- ton purchased four acres of his land for res- ervoir purposes. He made successful invest- ments in real estate in Woburn and became a man of considerable property. He was up- right, straightforward and honorable in all his dealings, was never known to wrong any man, but on the contrary it was one of his articles of faith to do as much good as he could in this world. He was kindly, sympathetic, open- hearted, and gave freely to those in need. Hav- ing a strong sense of humor, he was fond of a good joke and constantly on the alert for the humorous in any situation. He was an advo- cate of temperance and other reform move- ments.
