William Henry Whitmore (born in Dorchester, Massachusetts, September 6, 1836; died in Boston, June 14, 1900) was a Boston businessman, politician and genealogist. ==Biography== He was the son of a Boston merchant, and was educated in Boston's public schools. He devoted the leisure from his business life to antiquarian research and authorship. For eight years, he was a member of the Boston Common Council, of which he became president in 1879, and he was a trustee of the Boston Public Library from 1885 to 1888.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Former Trustees: William Henry Whitmore )〕 The degree of AM was conferred on him by Harvard and Williams in 1867. About 1868 he was one of the patentees of a machine for making sugar cubes, and in 1882 he patented one for making hyposulphite of soda. His “Ancestral Tablets” (Boston, 1868) was an invention for genealogists, being a set of pages cut and arranged to admit the insertion of a pedigree in a condensed form. He was a founder of the ''Historical Magazine'' in 1857, of the Prince Society in 1858, and of the Boston Antiquarian Society in 1879, to which the Bostonian Society succeeded. Whitmore was an editor of the ''New England Historical and Genealogical Register'', in which many of his papers first appeared, and ''The Heraldic Journal'', which he established in 1863.
