Mr. Whitman and his family were prominent citizens here in the early and mid 1900`s. He was a renowned collector of seashells and Indian artefacts and was instrumental in establishing the Standard Manufacturing Company`s fiber and brush factory. The Cedar Key State Museum was named in his honor and his old home has been restored and is part of that museum.
