Intelligence has reached Norfolk of the death in Washington, D.C. of Robert E. 
Whittemore. The deceased was the son of Elizabeth Whittemore and the late Park 
E. Whittemore and resided with his family in Norfolk until they removed to 
Washington. He was thirty-eight years old and was a young man of many sterling 
traits of character. He leaves a host of friends here who will learn of his 
untimely  demise with sorrow.
He was a member of Norfolk Aerie of Eagles and one of the favorite soloists of 
the city. He had an excellent tenor voice and was the composer of several 
popular songs. Among them were: "I Love You," "Promise That You'll Wed Me," "She 
Was Born In Old Virginia," "No Loving Voice to Cheer." 
He is survived by three brothers, Messrs. J.E., S.P. and J.F. Whittemore, also
