Joseph Brown Whitehead (1864–1906) was a lawyer, who, along with Benjamin Thomas and John Thomas Lupton, obtained exclusive rights from Asa Candler to bottle and sell Coca-Cola.[1]
Whitehead was born in Oxford, Mississippi in 1864.[2] He attended the University of Mississippi and graduated with a degree in law.
He married Lettie Pate in 1895, and then the couple moved to Chattanooga, Tennessee.[3]
In 1889, Whitehead and Thomas met with Candler.[4] Candler gave the two exclusive rights to bottle the soft drink. After this meeting Lupton partnered with them.
Whitehead died in 1906 from pneumonia.
