Whitmore, L. H. is a native of New York; came to Wabasha in
September, 1865, and in the following year, in connection with his
brother, H. J. Whitmore, opened a flour, feed and grocery store on the
corner of Second and Pembroke, now occupied by Drury. Business was
continued until 1878, when H. J. Whitmore retired (to become postmaster of
the city), and L. H. continued business one year and sold out; was then
engaged clerking in the postoffice and in the county offices until he
resumed business at the present stand, which he subsequently bought. He
fronts thirty-five feet on Second street, and has his storeroom in the
rear on Pembroke. Mr. Whitmore was married in 1861,in Chenango county, New
York, to Miss E. A. Holt. They have four children: Linn Whitmore, born
July 15, 1863, at present assistant cashier in the Wabasha Bank; C. H.,
clerking in his father's store; Gertie E., born July 15, 1874; Harry, born
October 17, 1876.
