Biographical History
For many years Franklin Whitmore was secretary of the municipal park commission in Hartford, Connecticut. He also served as private secretary for Samuel Clemens. As a member of the New York National Guard, Whitmore was part of the guard of honor when President Lincoln's body lay in state in New York City. He was also involved with the Society of Colonial Wars. Harriet Whitmore was a member of the Saturday Morning Club, the Monday Afternoon Club, the Ruth Wyllys Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution, the Connecticut Society of the Colonial Dames of America, the Committee on Old Connecticut Silver, and the Art Society of Hartford. She was known for her research on the colonial history of her native Fairfield, Connecticut, and her interest in early American art. The extended family advocated for woman suffrage. The Whitmores were survived by two sons, William Franklin Whitmore and Harold Burton Whitmore, and two daughters, Harriet Eliza (Whitmore) Enders and Ruth (Whitmore) (Parker) Wheeler. They were predeceased by a son, Frederick Culver Whitmore. At the time of Franklin's death they had nine grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.
