THE BEACON-TIMES
Banking, Waterworks and Cotton Gin, 1911
A source note from the Whiteman Family Historical Archive.
What the record documents
1911 newspaper material identifies W. J. Whiteman in Haworth-area commercial activity. One issue lists him as first vice president and director of the Bank of Haworth and reports a waterworks franchise granted to W. T. Wilcoxin and W. J. Whiteman. Another advertisement identifies W. J. Whiteman as proprietor of the Murray Improved Gin.
Evidence boundary
Supports: documented banking and waterworks involvement in 1911. Related Beacon-Times material also documents cotton-gin proprietorship.
Research standard
