Winter Park Post
DEATH OF FORMER RESIDENT

Dr. W.F. Blackman received a telegram last Tuesday announcing the death on the 
morning of that day at her home in Naugatuck, Conn., of Mrs. John Howard 
Whittemore, a former parishioner of Dr. Blackman's and an intimate friend of 
the family.

Dr. Blackman's book, ''The Making of Hawaii," which was published in 1899 by 
the Macmillan Company, was "Inscribed with love and gratitude to John Howard 
Whittemore and Julia Spencer Whittemore."

A number of people in Winter Park still recall Mr. and Mrs. Whittemore and 
their children, as guests for many seasons of the Old Seminole Hotel. At that 
time and for several years subsequently, Mrs. Whittemore owned the lot opposite 
the Batchelor home, which afterwards came into the possession of Rollins 
College, and where Dr. and Mrs. Blackman now live.

It was through the suggestion of Mr. Whittemore to Mr. W. C. Comstock that Dr. 
Blackman was called to the presidency of the college, to whose funds he 
contributed many thousands of dollars, and of whose Board of Trustees he was at 
one time a member of years ago.

Mrs. Whittemore was a woman of singular loveliness of person and of character, 
as well as keenness of intellect; a son and daughter survive her.
