Who was Louis Tainter?

[WSC]

On the South Summit of Mt. Whiteface (New Hampshire), there is a plaque with an inscription in memoriam for Louis Tainter, And the plaque also states his ashes are reposed within. The plaque stated he lived 1862-1920.
Who was Louis Tainter? I speculate he must have been somehow assoicated with Mt.Whitface/ Sandwich Mountains to have given such a great spot to rest.
Can anyone shed some light on him, or where I can get more infomation about him?
Thanks
WSC
