Career
During his tenure, the Cutlerites successfully established an Order of Enoch, as advocated by Latter- Day Saints (Mormons) founding prophet Joseph Smith, Junior. during the early years of his movement. This Order, which emphasizes community of property, still functions in the church today. Whiting was born on 1 October 1842 in Lima, Illinois to Chancey Whiting, who was also his predecessor in office in the Cutlerite church.
Trained as a wagon-maker, Whiting moved with his family to Clitherall, Minnesota, where he served as First Counselor to his father while he was leader of the Cutlerite community.
Whiting succeeded to the presidency of the Cutlerite church in 1902. In 1910 he attempted to re-establish the United Order.
Previous attempts by the Cutlerites to do this in Manti had failed. By 1912 these endeavors had borne fruit, and a church corporation had taken charge of Cutlerite properties in Clitherall.
He continued to serve in his office until his death on 28 May 1922.
Whiting also supervised the construction of a new meetinghouse in Clitherall which still stands today, though it is no longer in use. Charles Llewelyn
