Husband to Elsie Witherstine.

The following is from 'Building Provincetown, The History of Provincetown Told Through Its Built Environment:

Not only a fine and respected artist himself — his moody woodblock prints depict the somber darkness that can steal over Provincetown — Witherstine was a prominent advocate of the art colony. He helped put together the seminal Forum 49, he was president of the Provincetown Art Association and he ran his own very influential gallery, Shore Studios, in the West End. That has been revived by his grandson, Fred Hemley, with Jonathan Sinaiko and Muffin Ray, as the Shore Galleries.
