  Book: Before and After Mount Pisgah, by Clare B. Christensen says the following on page 255:
  
  "Edwin Whiting had tried to grow fruit at Manti, Utah since his return from Ohio. The seasons at Manti had been cold. Brigham Young advised Edwin to move to Springville, Utah where the winters were more mild. In 1861 Edwin made the move. He bought land from the Hulets. That same year Edwin's cousin, Sylvanus Cyrus Hulet was called to take his family and help with the settlement at St. George, Utah."
  After having read the foregoing quote I would assume that Melvin, Alvin, and Francis Whiting were born and died at Springville or Mapleton and were buried someplace in the area.
