Walt Whitman was editor of The Brooklyn Eagle in 1846-47. His birthplace was at Huntington, I. According to the plans of the committee, Mayor Ellis, Edwin S. Yard and William H. Izzard, the frame house will be converted into a museum as a fitting memorial to the "Good Gray Poet." Of late there have been reports that the two-story frame dwelling will be moved to either Whitman Park or to Forrest Hill Park, both in Camden.

Sentiment, however, is growing in favor of keeping the house at tho present site. The City of Camden obtained the home of Whitman from three nieces. Miss Jessie Whitman of St. Louis and Mrs. Minnie Young and Mrs.

Annio Fish, both of Greenpoint, L. I. Miss Whitman has agreed to give the city a number of portraits of the poet, together with many little me- all the other mementoes possible to make the house a shrine for all lovers of Whitman's rugged verse. For many years the little frame house has been neglected. Not even as much as a little placard was visible to tell a passerby of its identity.
