William Whitmore was a graduate of Harvard College, and at one time a schoolmaster, but ill health prevented him from engaging in active pursuits. His death was somewhat peculiar, as he died in consequence of an illness produced by a dread of small pox. His death occurred March 10, 1760, and his widow died October 10, 1765. With him his line of the family name became extinct. When Francis and Mary Hall Whitmore went to Maine, they took with them their eldest

hteen at the time the History of Medford was published and he worked largely on the genealogies of all the families given in that book. The following notice is from the Transcript, I think. One of the most remarkable achievements of the late William H. Whitmore, in connection with his efforts to save the Old State House and in restoring its original architecture, was his subduing the fierce opposition to the restoration of the lion and the unicorn thereon. Inasmuch as these were the emblems of Great Britain, there were not lacking of our fellow citizens those that insisted that they should not be put back on the building. While assisting Mr. Brooks in compiling the History of Medford, it occured to him that no more fitting place could be found for the remains of his ancestors than the old burying ground on Salem street. He had them disinterred from their original resting places, and brought here and buried. They are in the southeast corner of the ground. Alice C. Ayres.
