when he was trumpeter at the West
Point Military academy. He blew 135
calls, ordered at random, in one hou,
ard thirty-five minutes, winning the
prize, silver bugle. This he presented
to the military academy, and it is there
now among the institutions, relics.
During the Spanish-American war
Whitmore served under Generals Shaf-
ter and Wood, and it was at Siboney,
on June %, that his cork foot was shot
off and he was ordered by General
Wood to report to the wheelwright for
surgical attention
Whi!more blew the last bugle call
that President William Mckinley ever
head. At: that time he was civilian
attached to the military force at the
Pan-American Exposition, and as
President Mckinley entered the Temple
of Music he sounded three flourishes,
announcing the approach of dis
tinguished parsonage to the people
gathered within. Hardly had the notes
died away when Czolgosz's shot rang
out. Whitmore was near enough to be
an eyewitness to the assassination, and
his testimony regarding the occurrence
is on file in Washington.
Whitmore's foot was torn off in CAL
weston harbor when he was serving on
the revenue cutter Galveston in 1892.
While wire rope was being unreeled
it caught his foot and tore the member
off. After several months in st. Marks
infrmary here he was able to get about
and devised a foot which enabled him
to walk almost as we'll as he formerly
walked with his natural foot.
In 1895, despite the absent foot,
Whitmore applied for admission into
the army and was examined personally
by Surgeon General Sternberg. This
examination was supplemented by
another in which experts of the John
Hopkins hospital participated. They
pronounced him capable of doing mill
tary duty and he was permitted on the
authority Of special board, to continue
his military career.
