  Mrs. Whitmore was born July 15, 1886 in Surry County, near Wakefield, and 
grew up on farm there.  At the age of 23 she married E.T. Whitmore and they 
moved to Crewe where he had a job on the railroad. 

  They didn't like it very much at first so they moved back to Surry County 
for a few years before returning to Crewe to spend the rest of their lives.
