"The Daniel C. Whitmore family was considered the first family of Ceres and, with two other founders, John Service and Cassius Warner, settled in Ceres in 1867. Mr. Whitmore built the first home in Ceres in 1870. That home still stands, fully restored by the City and the Ceres Historical Society, at 2928 Fifth Street." (visit link)
