| Notes for Abraham Newed WHITMAN |
| Took over his father Abraham's business and turned it into "A.N. Whitman & Sons, Ltd." He is pictured in the Canso News of May 12, 1912 on the first page. It was said his home was open and welcoming to any wayfaring stranger. He was an energetic purposeful man and deeply religious; a devout Baptist. His children studied at Acadia and eventually left the family's fortune to the university. |
| Notes for Lavinia (Spouse 1) |
| The portraits of Abraham and Lavinia hang in the Whitman house at Canso today, flanking the fireplace in the large front parlor. |
