  5. ↑ Although his obituary gives his birth place as Lincoln, Nebraska, and his death record reports Nebraska, evidence seems to suggest that he was born in Michigan. The 1885 Nebraska state census reports his birth place as Nebraksa. Henry Whitmore purchased his Nebraska farm from his brother in December 1882, which suggests that he and his family made the move some time after Earle's birth in 1882.

    WHITMORE DIES AS RESULT OF AUTO ACCIDENT
    Veteran City Engineer, Once Commisioner, Has Served City since 1903
    City Engineer Earle R. Whitmore died at 6 am today in Edward G. Sparrow hospital, Lansing, as a result of injuries suffered Tuesday night in an automobile accident in East Lansing. He was 62 years of age.

    A daughter, Mrs. Carl Bauslaugh, who went to Lansing Wednesday, said death was due to cerebral hemorage.

    Mr. Whitmore came here from Saginaw in June, 1903, as an assistant city engineer, and in May, 1909, was appointed city engineer to succeed W. W. Phelps. Except for two periods totaling five years during the 1920's, he served as engineer since then. He served one term as commissioner of public works.

    He was born Dec. 13, 1881, in Lincoln, Nebraska. He was a Mason and a member of the Michigan Egnineering society. Since the planning ordinance was adopted last summer, he served as chief administrative officer for enforcement of the ordinance.

    He is survived by two daughters, Mrs. Bauslaugh and Miss Beth Whitmore, Miami Beach Fla; a son, Lieut. Glen A. Whitmore, in England with the Army, and two grandchildren. Mrs. Bauslaugh and her family lived with her father at 311 Omar Lane.
