Mr. Whittemore was in Korea from the late1800s until about 1920, according to his grandson, Arthur Jr. I purchased his all korean estate including 19 century clothes in 2003. I have his letter envelope sent to Choson, pyungyang from US, but I cannot find it now. If I find it, I will list the stamped envelope in future.
American Missionanry in Korea from... GooglePresbyterian missionaries in Korea and the United States reacted to the so-called “Korean Conspiracy Case” in a variety of ways. In Korea, O.R. Avison, the director of the Presbyterian Severance Hospital in Seoul, Samuel A. Moffett, a Presbyterian missionary in Pyongyang, and Norman C. Whittemore, a Presbyterian missionary in Seoncheon, North Pyong-an Province, met with Terauchi on 23 January 1912. They told him that it was inconceivable that the arrested Koreans, who were among the most respected people in Korean society, should have legitimately fallen under suspicion. But Terauchi refuted their position and told them that the fact that so many Korean Christians had been involved in the plot had surprised him.- Hard to find items ( Late Choson dynasty 조선 말엽 fabric 토시, 망건, 주머니 ?, 돈 주머니 5 개, 장삼 ? 등 기타 총 14 점)- 탕건옆 고동색 물건은 무었인지 모름. 칡뿌리 말려 만든드한 소재로 주머니인지 다른 용도인지 (?)*토시는 추위나 더위를 막기 위한 용도로 조선시대 남녀노소 모두가 사용하였던 치레거리 성인용 2 개, 딸아이 토시는 한쪽 이 없음- 조선시대 복식연구에 중요한 자료 될수 있음- 총14 점( Total 14 items)- Please see other his family's clothes auction.Please see my other Korea related items !
