Whitmore, H. J., postmaster of Wabasha, is a native of New York State,
came to Wabasha in 1858, and was engaged in trade in this city,
principally in grocery business, until appointed postmaster, February 6,
1882. He married Miss Sarah Wickham, of this city, in 1861.
Whitmore, L. H., grocer, corner of Second and Pembroke streets. This
business was established by the firm of F. Stuelzel & Co., a little over
three years since, and was only purchased by Mr. Whitmore last spring
(1883). The stock is quite complete, and includes staple and fancy
groceries, fruits, vegetables, flour and feed. Business employs two
clerks, and one delivery-wagon. Sales of flour are one hundred and fifty
sacks per month, and fifteen tons of feed; grocery sales lead all others
in city.
