Abstract:
The author, Monika Fleming, is contacted by Jim and Bonnie Warner who had an inquiry about an Edgecombe County Resident named Dr. William Henry Whitehead. They wanted to know more about Dr. Whitehead because his name was found on a tag attached to an antique furniture set they had just purchased. This article details Dr. William Henry Whitehead’s life and career in Battleboro, Tarboro, and Rocky Mount. Dr. Whitehead practiced medicine for over 20 years in Edgecombe County. Dr. Whitehead served as the president of the NC State Medical Society for 6 years, on the Board of Directors for NC State Hospitals and the State Board of Health as well as the State Board of Medical Examiners. He passed away in June 1909 but his son Joseph Phillip Whitehead also started a practice and treated patients as his father had.
